Scott performed one song before telling fans to plow through the barricades. After things got out of hand, he tried to diffuse the situation.
“They gon’ stop the show if ya’ll don’t get down,” he told fans who bum rushed the stage.
The incident was quickly handled and no one was injured. Scott fled the scene, but was taken into police custody a short time later. He will be charged with disorderly conduct.
On Sept. 4, Scott will release his debut album Rodeo featuring the 2 Chainz and Future-assisted single “3500.”
