Over the weekend, Lil Baby, who just gave a performance at the Openair Frauenfeld Festival in Switzerland, was viciously attacked online when a fan was shooed off stage by his security. Videos of the rapper’s fan being shoved off the stage and sent tumbling to the barricades made their way onto Twitter.
While the 27-year-old hip-hop artist was playing at the festival, a fan of his managed to get on stage and make an attempt to reach him. Before Lil Baby could react, his security is said to have thrown the fan off stage. This occurs the day after a fan and Roddy Ricch got into a fight over the fan’s attempt to yank the rapper’s leg during a performance. At Wireless Festival, Cardi B also recently appeared to get into a fight with a fan who was trying to grab her microphone.
A fan of Lil Baby is ejected off the stage
Security personnel raced to the stage and shoved rapper Lil Baby so forcefully that he fell close to the barricades before the fan could touch him. Lil Baby, whose true name is Dominique Armani Jones, is said to have interrupted the performance to check on the unnamed admirer. Additionally, there has been no update on the fan’s health following the horrific fall.
When Lil Baby performed in Charlotte, North Carolina, in September 2021, an overenthusiastic fan stormed the stage during the performance. The fan had been violently tackled by Lil Baby’s security, who then pinned him to the ground and dragged him away from the stage.
Users of social media criticized Lil Baby
Lil Baby came under fire from social media users for his security crew mistreating a fan. Another said, “The first letter of his name literally describes his security and his discography,” and one wrote, “That Security guard was Quick lol.”

Totally uncalled for, said another user. Lil Baby wasn’t spooked at all, and he was just going to say hello. Why is he being flung off the stage like a toy? If I were that fan, I would sue the security provider vigorously. “Lil Baby is the worst when it comes to his fans,” one person added.
That Security guard was Quick lol

The next person said, “Seriously?! Okay, a fan entered the stage. Security could have handled him differently. He might have suffered a neck injury. A person stated, “Damn I mean, he wasn’t supposed to go up there, and the security officer was doing his job, BUT STILL, I certainly think it was far too much and the person is now probably injured real bad.” Another person echoed similar feelings.
Completely uncalled for. He was simply going to greet Lil Baby, who wasnât startled at all. Why is he getting thrown off the stage like a ragdoll? If Iâm that fan, Iâm suing the security company for everything theyâve got

“The fan was absolutely wrong for rushing the stage, but if that fan would have died or suffered significant injuries after falling from the stage, that is unnecessary force and a lawsuit that didn’t have to happen,” one person wrote in their conclusion. Little Baby must assess his security. All they had to do was pull him off with a simple tackle.
The fan was indeed wrong for rushing the stage but if that fan would of died or seriously injured after falling off the stage that is unnecessary force and a lawsuit that didnât have to be. Lil Baby need to check his security. All they had to do is tackle him and pull him off. https://t.co/eY009hqlKP
