Lil Yachty‘s tour stop in Vancouver was forced to come to a halt this week after he inadvertently incited pandemonium in the crowd.
The incident went down on Saturday (October 21), when Lil Boat’s ‘Field Trip Tour’ made its way to the Canadian city. According to video footage from the night, Yachty was shouting “fill it up” from the moment he started performing, directing the crowd to descend toward the mosh pit area of the arena.
His fans were more than happy to oblige and started climbing over railings and security guards – which, unsurprisingly, quickly resulted in chaos. According to TMZ, the “One Night” rapper was able to do about three or four more songs, but his mic was then promptly cut off and the house lights came on. However, the show still wasn’t over, as a voice over the speakers simply told the crowd to head back to their seats, which Yachty encouraged.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough, and the show was ultimately shut down. You can view footage from the night below.

Earlier this month, Toronto attendees at Lil Yachty’s Field Trip Tour were treated to a surprise appearance from their hometown hero, Drake.
Lil Boat brought his Field Trip Tour to HISTORY, where Drizzy was lurking in the crowd up in the balcony section. Needless to say, the 6 God’s presence didn’t go unnoticed and at some point during the show he jumped on the mic himself.
“Aye Boat,” Drake said while rocking colorful hair accessories. “I know you been going crazy tonight. First of all, I just wanna say, y’all make some noise for one of my best friends in the muthafuckin’ world.
“You been going crazy tonight. I haven’t been home in four months, so you take yourself a little break. I’ma try some shit out.”
From the comfort of the VIP section, Drake then proceeded to perform his “Meltdown” collaboration from Travis Scott‘s UTOPIA, which sent the hometown crowd into a frenzy.
Drake’s appearance at Lil Yachty’s show arrived on the heels of the “Poland” rapper explaining how they differ in terms of how they approach life and music.
“Me and him are kind of different when it comes to lifestyle,” Yachty recently told Complex. “We’re really similar as people, but as far as life, we’re very different. I don’t go out, he loves to go out, he loves to host people, he loves to party and I don’t like people that much.”
He continued: “And I record every day all day, where he kind of is very selective on his recording days as he has more of a life than I do. And, he is much more into actually living life as to where I am literally trying to record music every day.
