AceShowbiz - Russ made it clear that he is against violence, especially when it comes to his fans. The "What They Want" rapper stopped his performance at his show in Canada after seeing a female fan being slammed against the wall by "aggressive" security guards.
"What y'all doing?" the emcee said from the Coca-Cola Stage at Calgary Stampede as he tried to interrogate the security guards. "Yo, yo, that's a female bro. What's wrong with you?" he continued questioning those involved.
"Yo! That's a woman, dog. You don't need to be that aggressive. It's five f**king dudes. What are y'all doing?" Russ continued arguing at the Thursday, July 6 show. "Damn dog."
Russ then left the stage and reared towards the incident. After settling the issue, the rap star told the crowd, "All I saw was just five grown men with one chick, like doing way too much... I don't know if there was a fight - that was OD."
Russ was not the only artist confront security for being harsh to fans. Back in May, Taylor Swift was filmed yelling at an "aggressive" security guard who reportedly "pushed off of the barricade" at her Philadelphia, Penn show.
A video from the incident saw the "Red" artist performing her hit "Bad Blood". However, she began speaking to someone in the crowd by saying, "She's fine... She wasn't doing anything. Hey, stop! Stop."
The said fan, whose name is Kelly Inglis Kelly, later revealed that the singer gave her free tickets following the ordeal. Of her unpleasant experience at the concert, she shared, "I was just dancing, and this security guard was just crazy, yelling at us... He didn't want us to take photos in front of the stage. He was being very strict."
