Reports say, Wayne was on stage and about five songs in, when people in the crowd began to run, scream, and duck due to allege gunshots being fired. The New Orleans rapper was immediately rushed off of stage by security, and reports are claiming there have been at least 12 minor injuries due to the attendees trying to make it to safety.

It’s alleged a brawl ignited the stampede, but has not been confirmed. The festival’s official Twitter account released a statement, denying there were gunshots were fired.

Sadly, there was altercation tonight that ended Lil’ Wayne’s performance. We are still collecting information to determine exactly what happened and will provide follow up information as soon as we know more details.
