The rapper Lil Baby had a scary encounter in Switzerland this week when a fan grabbed him before he was swiftly ejected from the stage by security.
The 27-year-old rapper (real name: Dominique Jones) was performing as part of the Openair Frauenfeld Festival on Thursday when a fan ran up to him on stage and touched him, according to video apparently shot by a fan near the stage.
Lil Baby’s security guards launched into action and swiftly pushed the man off the stage.

In the short clip, Lil Baby is facing the side of the stage while rapping, when he turns toward the back of the stage and sees a man rushing toward him.
He reaches out with both of his hands and appears to touch the hitmaker on his arms, while the rapper stretches out one hand to try to keep the intruder at bay.
But the scary encounter is over almost as quickly as it started, as multiple security guards rush from the same backstage area.
One of the men gives the stage jumper a powerful shove that not only pushes him away from Lil Baby, but sends him flying off the edge of the stage.

Ejected: But then two security guards are seen rushing forward, and one shoves the man violently so that he flies off the stage
Ouch: The man appears to smash into the metal fence keeping the audience from the stage before hitting the ground, but his condition is unknown
Legal trouble? It’s unclear if the stage jumper had a run-in with law enforcement after the festival performance; Lil Baby seen July 9 in Birmingham, UK
The impact is partially obscured by concertgoers’ heads, but the man appears to crash against the metal fence that’s supposed be keeping the fans away from the stage.
One man who appears to be part of the festival’s security team runs up to the man as he lies on the ground, while the two security guards that rushed at him walk toward the back of the stage.
It’s currently unclear who the stage jumper was and if he suffered legal consequences after the incident or if he required any medical treatment.
This wasn’t the only scary encounter between fans and artists at the Swiss festival, as rapper Roddy Ricch had a run-in in which a fan made it onto the stage earlier and was tackled by security guards.
While he was under their weight, he reached out a hand to grab at Ricch’s leg, at which point the rapper started kicking him.

Cardi B also appeared to have an altercation over the weekend at the Wireless Festival in London.
The WAP hitmaker was seen on video appearing to swipe down at someone in the crowd with her microphone.
After the footage was posted online, Cardi denied that there was any altercation, tweeting, ”It wasn’t NO FIGHT!’
Videos from other angles appeared to support her contention that she wasn’t lashing out at a specific person.
