What happened during Saweetie's set at Vegandale 2024? Rapper pauses performance after fight breaks out in the crowd

Saweetie has been trending online after her performance held at the Vegandale Festival as a part of Pride in the Park Chicago on June 23, 2024. She was performing on stage in Grant Park, Butler Field, and paused in between after she reportedly witnessed a fight going on in the crowd.

The incident was also recorded on video, which was obtained by The Neighborhood Talk, and the singer was heard saying:

"I know y'all ain't doing what I think y'all doing. Is everybody safe?"

A few moments later, everyone who attended the event was spotted running away from the venue. The camera then focused on the ground where the gates to control the public were lying along with packets. Also known as Diamonte Quiava Valentin Harper, the rapper later responded via an X post the following day which reads:

"Hope everyone got home safe tonight. That crowd looked crazy."

While social media platforms were flooded with reactions, netizens criticized Saweetie, claiming that her reaction led to a stampede. One of them wrote that the Cooking with Paris guest star should have said to stop fighting.

"Be specific instead of running away from the stage and causing people to get hurt by the stampede you (Saweetie) caused!", a fan reacted on X.

Another person wrote that the people present at the venue assumed that there was a shooting incident.

"Why would you say on the stage in Chicago "I know yall not doing what I think yall doing," another person commented.
