Lil Wayne

A Lil Wayne concert in Stratford on Sunday night was cut short after no less than six fights kicked off at the Stratford Rex venue.

Actually, it sounds a bit like it was one big fight with six component parts. Word has it the gig was pretty raucous from the off due to the Rex being packed to roof. Eye witnesses say that there were scuffles from the start because of the overcrowding, while some gig goers tried to get on the stage to avoid the crowds, much to the annoyance of security. But things reportedly really kicked off after an audience member threw a bottle at Wayne, to which the rapper allegedly responded: "Whoever just done that, this whole motherfucking crowd need to beat his ass cause they just messed up the whole show". Said crowd responded thus, so much so that said bottle thrower had to be ushered out of the building for his own safety. Wayne reportedly managed two more songs after the bottle incident, but by that stage the audience had become far too restless and the show was called to an abrupt end.
