A$AP Rocky, the well-known American rapper, recently had his first-ever concert on April 04 (Thursday) in Manila, at XYLO Club in Taguig City. His Filipino fans excitedly crowded the place for finally, as they will be witnessing another foreign artist conquering the local stage. Everything went smoothly as planned until an incident happened, where a fan stole ASAP Rocky’s sneakers on stage.
This was disclosed by Lawryeng Castro, a party ambassador for XYLO, after he shared a video of what went down on his Instagram account. Unfortunately, the video was removed, but still recorded scenes from the incident were captured by some fans.
In the video, it can be seen that A$AP Rocky is taking his break on the side of the stage near the crowd. Little did he know that while he was resting, someone was already fantasizing on his pair of white Nike Air Force sneakers, which resulted in pulling the shoes away from him.
This did not stop the rapper from countering and luckily managed to pull back the other shoe. However, the other pair was still taken, making him rant on the suspect saying, “[What] the fuck are you doing crawling on the floor, stupid?”

In a Twitter message, a concertgoer named Princess Jao told the entertainment site Coconuts Manila that the incident happened at around 2 am.
Jao said the singer was “super pissed,” which can be obviously seen in the videos circulating.
“He wasn’t rapping anymore. I think he called security and his manager too.”
“He was pointing at the person like ‘come on.’”
He did manage to get his shoes back from the fan but it made A$AP Rocky pissed, which prompted his performance to end earlier. The show was supposed to last till 5 am but it ended at 3 am.
