Lil Nas X was forced to stop his concert and abruptly exit the stage in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday evening (Sept. 28) at the Coca-Cola Roxy for an “bathroom emergency.”
In the midst of his headlining set on the Long Live Montero Tour, the chart-topping hitmaker left the stage to use the bathroom, leaving fans confused.
“I’m backstage and this is, like, not a part of the show,” he told the crowd over the microphone while using the restroom, according to footage shared by a concertgoer on Twitter. “But I’m taking a mean sh-t, so please be [patient], but I’m gonna be, like, a minute or two, and I’ll be right back.”
The announcement from Lil Nas X has the crowd erupting into laughter as they found it hysterical that he just shared that he is currently using the toilet in the midst of the concert. Not only did the fans at the show get a good laugh out of the now viral moment, but so did social media users across the globe as the video quickly amassed over 3.4 million views.
