The energy of Tory Lanez during live shows is well-documented, whether he's hanging from venue rafters or literally tearing his performance spaces apart. However, the Toronto artist's latest live antics may have landed him in some hot water after he incited a riot during a weekend appearance.

TMZ reports that a conflict arose between Lanez and venue security during his Saturday (March 26) performance in Midland, TX. Fan-shot footage shows the rapper telling fans who were being escorted out by security to come back into the crowd, launching into his track "Diego" while two guards tried to stop the performance.

Another clip shows Lanez calling out the "bitch-ass security," while telling fans "don't get hit, don't get hurt" as other concertgoers launched chairs and bottles indoors.

Multiple arrests were reportedly made, while the venue and concert promoter are considering suing Lanez for his actions.
