Lil Xan’s concert was canceled earlier this week, and now scary details are coming out as to why.
According to TMZ, the 22-year-old rapper never made it onstage for his Wednesday night show at The Pageant in St. Louis because someone threatened to shoot up the venue.
Sources close to the rapper say the venue and promoters canceled the show after a St. Louis “artist/producer” posted a video threatening to open fire.

The same user also posted a clip spraying bullets into a lake and calling out the rapper. He captioned the video, “Lil Xan said he wants a fade with me. I’M COMING TO YO OWN SHOW TO SMACK TF OUT OF YOU TOMORROW OCT 10 AT @thepageantstl.”
Promoters apparently saw the video a few days before the concert and felt it was too risky to move forward with the show. They waited until the day of Xan’s performance to cancel — and it was definitely the right call.
On the day of the concert, the same person posted a snap of himself holding what appears to be 3 AK-47s with the caption, “hi Lil Xan see ya later at your show.”

Local police say they aren’t investigating the threats because no one filed a report about the incident. Xan has yet to comment on the matter, but one of his reps told the outlet:
“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.”
Xan’s tour continued Thursday night in Cincinnati without a hitch.
