Lil Baby was recently performing at the Openair Frauenfeld festival in Switzerland when a fan managed to get on stage. The incident, which was captured caught on video, shows the rapper performing with his back to the crowd as the fan approaches him with outstretched arms.
However, as soon as the fan got close, a security guard came to the rapper's rescue and pushed the fan off. The force with which the guard pushed him sent the fan flying off the stage and he fell towards the barricade.
It is worth noting that this wasn't the first time a Lil Baby fan was dealt with in a violent manner. During his tour of Charlotte in September 2021, another fan got on stage and the rapper seemed unfazed as his guards violently grabbed the fan and dragged him backstage.
Lil Baby checked on his fan after security pushed him off stage
A Twitter user @lowlifejoe noted that Lil Baby went to check on his fan who was pushed off the stage by the former's security guards. Meanwhile, other fans called out the way the fan was dealt with on the stage.
On the other hand, some fans also praised the rapper's security and one of them said that he "got real security."

Several incidents of fans getting on stage during performances reported
There have been reports of repeated incidents of unruly and overzealous fans stepping on stage at the Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland. During the same festival, American singer and songwriter Roddy Ricch was performing his set when one of his fans climbed on stage mid-performance. The fan was tackled by several security members.
Roddy Ricch also kicked the fan several times before carrying on with his performance. Ricch seems to drop the mic while charging towards the fan. The artist was performing his hit number The Box when the incident took place.
Usually over-enthusiastic fans are tackled and pushed off the stage when artists are performing. American rapper Playboi Carti had a different reaction when two of his fans climbed up on the stage while he performed. Not only did he save the fan who was being tackled by security guards, he also hugged the fan who managed to get on stage. Carti's reaction was what impressed his fans everywhere.
In a separate incident, Cardi-B was performing at a festival when a fan got hold of her hair. A video of what appears to be a scuffle saw the singer swing her arms and trying to rid herself of the fan before concluding her set.
