Travis Scott was forced to halt performances midway through a recent New York show over safety concerns
As People magazine reports, Travis Scott was forced to halt a performance in the middle of a recent New York show due to safety concerns when concert-goers were seen climbing lighting rods.
According to a video shared by TMZ, the Seiko Mode rapper stopped during his set at The Day Party: Independence Day concert in New York when concert-goers tried to climb a lighting truss.
The video shows members of the audience sitting atop a lighting structure, forcing Scott to call them out and say: "We need all of you to get down."
Another video showed Scott, 31, saying: "Hey yo, my brother, my brother, just make sure you're okay, my brother. You hear me?"
Following Scott's insistence, people sitting on top of the lighting truss appeared to come down.
A spokesperson for the embattled rapper soon voiced the incident, telling The New York Post: "Travis is committed to doing his part to ensure that events are kept as safe as possible so fans can have fun, and He encouraged fans to listen to requests. Get down from safety and light structures so everyone can safely enjoy last night's performance."
It comes months after Scott's Astroworld Festival concert ended in disaster, when a fatal crowd killed 10 people and injured hundreds more.c
