KANSAS CITY, Mo. — NBA YoungBoy’s recent tour stop in Kansas City descended into chaos Sunday night after a violent altercation left multiple venue employees injured.
According to KCTV 5, police were called to the T-Mobile Center around 9:30 p.m. after receiving reports of an assault. Officers arrived to find two victims who were later transported to a local hospital. Authorities confirmed that a minor was detained in connection with the incident.
Footage of the altercation has since gone viral on social media. The video shows an elderly employee being shoved and dragged into a crowd as bystanders recorded on their phones. The teen attacker can then be seen knocking the man to the ground and striking him repeatedly until another individual intervened. Witnesses suggested the confrontation began after the juvenile sat in the wrong section and was asked to move.
The T-Mobile Center released a statement addressing the violence, condemning the actions and reassuring concertgoers that staff safety remains a priority.
*“We are aware of an incident at last night’s NBA YoungBoy concert in which multiple T-Mobile Center team members were assaulted by a fan. The incident was captured on video and has been provided to local law enforcement. Our immediate concern is the well-being of our staff who sustained serious injuries. After receiving prompt attention from on-site First Aid personnel, they were later treated at a local hospital.
The safety of our employees and guests remains our top priority. Safety protocols are reviewed for every event, and we are fully cooperating with law enforcement regarding this matter. This isolated incident does not reflect our venue, our city, or the thousands of guests of all ages who enjoyed the show without incident. Violence of any kind is unacceptable at T-Mobile Center, and we remain committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all.”*
The Kansas City incident comes just days after NBA YoungBoy’s scheduled performance in Chicago was abruptly canceled by the United Center, fueling growing concerns about the safety of his concerts.
Police have not confirmed whether charges will be filed against the minor involved, and the investigation remains ongoing.
