Rapper Lil Xan was forced to cancel a show after man posted a series of threatening photos and videos holding an AK-47 assault rifle.

According to TMZ, the 22-year-old rapper's show at The Pageant in St. Louis on October 10 was called off last minute in lights of the threats.

In one of the videos, the man says, "Hey Lil Xan, I want my smoke tomorrow October 10 at (St. Louis venue) The Pageant, you little bitch. Where the f**k you at?"

The man then fires multiple rounds of bullets from his two guns into a lake.

One of Lil Xan's representatives said, "It is our top priority, including the promoters and venue to ensure safety at every show."

"This was an old situation that has been taken care of internally. There is no reason to fear safety at any of Lil Xan's shows moving forward," he added.

 

The St Louis Police Department told the outlet that they had not heard anything about the threatening clip.

Lil Xan's tour, however, has since continued as scheduled. The rapper performed in Cincinnati the night after the cancelled show and he is scheduled to perform in Cleveland.
