Yeat is the latest artist bringing an untraditional rhyming style to the table that the youth has thrown their support behind.
The 21-year-old was slated to have a concert in Los Angeles at The Roxy Theatre on Sunday night (February 20), but the show ended up being canceled as about 1,000 people reportedly spilled over into Sunset Boulevard as they were not let into the venue.
Los Angeles police arrived just short of 8 p.m. PT to disperse the raucous crowd finally around 10:30 p.m. PT while a news chopper roamed the sky above.
Police were forced to shut down Sunset Boulevard for several hours, although no arrests were made. They believe that the venue oversold the concert and there were not enough tickets available.
“It appears the venue oversold the event,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Tracy Koerner said. “Too many people and not enough tickets.”
Yeat reacted to the news on his Instagram Stories shortly after things went public.
“Y’all insane,” the Portland native wrote with a series of laughing emojis. “Shit da shyt down NEWS pulled up we #TRENDY We gone do a part 2 don’t worry.”

Awe man poor yeats. I was sooo looking forward to not going to this because who the hell is yeats?
Modern day Al Josin I think record labels sign anybody with a gimmick as long u emulate the culture and fake it then u good til it get stressful then they move on to rock and roll or country
Oh. In other words he’s the next rap hoax/extended publicity stunt who they’re going to tell us has a massive following and several hits on Billboard (that nobody ever heard in real life). Then he’ll appear in the News section every week on sites like this and make headlines for all kind of weird shit that has nothing to do with music. Congratulations Yeat. You made it.
I yeat in my pants all the time
Well this site is owed by a record company so what else can we expect with articles like this.
