Seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the incident, Boosie said on social media shortly afterwards: “They just shut the concert down. I’ve been in the back a couple of hours waiting to perform and they just shut the concert down – I don’t know – some shit happened in the front.
“We’re going to take it to Crush Ultra Lounge, the party don’t stop. Guess they gonna have to book me again in Omaha, but we finna … we finna take it to Crush man.”

Boosie was also performing when a gunman opened fire at a show in Gardena, California in 2017, leaving two fans with non-life-threatening injuries.
