Rico Nasty recently jumped into the crowd on a tour when an individual from the crowd threw a bottle at her. The incident happened at Playboi Carti’s King Vamp Tour that started a month ago.

The tour stopped in Portland, Oregon, last night and performed at the Theatre of the Clouds. During Rico Nasty’s performance, someone from the crowd threw a bottle at her, and the same was also recorded in a viral video. The people in the crowd started to point at someone, and Nasty kept on asking about the person who did it.

Security did not immediately respond to the incident, so Nasty decided to handle it herself. She jumped into the crowd and kept on searching for the individual. The other team members went down and asked her to remain calm. She then left the stage.


The rapper was the victim of a similar incident last week in Los Angeles, where the crowd booed her and cheered for Carti to come out during a show. She even argued with the public on Twitter regarding the incident.

Playboi Carti’s tour has already gone through many problems that include a scuffle and a man coming to the show wearing an ankle monitor, and the show getting canceled. The tour will continue until December 23, with stops in Toronto, New York, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and more.
