“Nobody wants another Astroworld”: Internet reacts to a Lil Yachty show reportedly cancelled after the rapper invited crowd onto the floor 

Lil Yachty performed at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, Canada, as part of his The Field Trip Tour on October 21, 2023. During the performance, the singer urged fans to fill the venue's pit at first before recommending them to return to their seats.

This resulted in the subsequent cancellation of the performance due to safety concerns, as security struggled to prevent the crowd from entering the pit. The singer performed the first five songs before the concert was shut down.

The video of the incident and the subsequent cancellation of the performance has since then gone viral, with the internet wasting no time in reacting to the event, as exemplified by the tweet below:
