Man Stabbed During Pusha T Concert in Toronto

Posted byBy Associated Press | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

TORONTO (AP) — One person has life-threatening injuries after a stabbing at a Pusha T concert in Toronto.

Toronto Police Constable David Hopkinson said Wednesday three others were treated at a hospital for minor injuries at the Danforth Music Hall late Tuesday. Hopkinson said the patient who was stabbed remains in critical condition.

Video on social media shows drinks being hurled onstage toward Pusha T and fights breaking out as some people charge the stage.

Hopkinson said someone rushed the stage and several people were injured in resulting melees, but it’s unclear whether the stabbing victim was wounded inside or outside the venue. Police didn’t find out someone was stabbed until they noticed someone with serious stab wounds at a local hospital.

Pusha T and Toronto rapper Drake have had a long running feud and have released diss tracks including one from Pusha T that divulged that Drake had a son.

A representative for Drake declined to comment on the concert brawl. A representative of Pusha T didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Pusha T returned to the stage after the melee and said people were hired to throw beer at him. One of his security guards brandished a two by four as he performed again.

“The investigators would be aware of whatever the feud is,” Hopkinson sai

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
