Lil Baby Cancels Performance At Breakout Fest Last Minute Causing Chaos Among Fans-7 Arrested

Fans reached a breaking point when Lil Baby announced that he would not be performing at the BreakOut Festival in Vancouver on Sept. 19.

The 27-year-old rapper excused himself from his set, citing that he was not feeling well. The "Drip Too Hard" rapper announced his cancelation through Instagram Stories, he wrote: "I would like to start off by saying I truly apologise Vancouver, Canada, the Breakout Festival, and to everyone who was in attendance! [sic]"

"I have been going so hard these past few months without any breaks that it finally caught up with me. And my body completely shut down. I owe you guys big time and will for sure make up for it soon," and added praying emojis.

  According to reports, Lil Baby was the fourth performer to cancel his set, following Lil Uzi Vert, Polo G, and Sofaygo. This, apparently, was the last straw because fans were livid and caused a riot. The fans thrashed the place, throwing garbage, breaking equipment, and destroying tents.
