In videos that were shared online, Roddy Ricch can be seen kicking the fan before carrying on with his performance.
At the same festival, Lil Baby was performing when a fan got on stage. The rapper was performing with his back to the crowd as the fan approached him with outstretched arms. However, before the fan could get near the artist, a security guard caught hold of him and pushed him off. The force with which the guard pushed him sent the fan flying off the stage and he fell towards the barricade.
