Pusha-T’s Toronto Concert Erupts Into Onstage Fight
Pusha-T’s performance Tuesday night at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall was interrupted when attendees appeared to rush the stage. Video from the event (below) shows a physical altercation taking place, though Pusha himself doesn’t appear to be touched. Pusha departed the stage and eventually returned to perform “Infrared”—a track that features subliminal shots at Drake. At one point, Pusha addressed the crowd and alleged that people were “paid” to throw beer at him. Pitchfork has reached out to Pusha and Drake’s representatives for comment.
A spokesperson for the Toronto Police Department confirmed to Pitchfork that they received a call for an assault in progress at the event with reports that performers at the venue were attacked onstage “by a number of people.” Three people were sent to the hospital in connection with the incident with non-life threatening injuries. Pusha-T was not specifically named in the Toronto Police’s statement.
After the show ended, a man who had attended was hospitalized with life-threatening stab wounds, TMZ reports. Police have given no indication that the stabbing is connected to the stage-rushing incident, according to TMZ.
