After taking photos of the incident on his phone, the Golf Wang leader was accused of leaving the gas on and causing the fiery disaster.

Drake not only looked fresh, but did GQ “A Little Favour” by spitting some unreleased heat in between takes for his recent photo shoot. Rocking acapella, Drizzy spits about love; the ones that stay, the ones that got away and the ones that stay for the fame, remarking, “Half a mill to perform I can’t let them fuck that shit up/ Plus I love the way my middle name looks when it’s lit up.”

Tyga may have incited the wrong fan, as things got out of control at a stop in Omaha during his “Careless World” Tour. After a few overzealous fans allegedly threw garbage onto the stage, Tyga stopped the show to confront those responsible, letting them know to meet him outside when he was through with his last song for the evening.

In an unfortunate turn of events, those attendees did attempt to grant the Young Money MCs wishes, firing rounds at his tour bus, grazing a member of Tyga’s crew in the hip, as well as rapper Honey Cocaine’s arm. Luckily, both were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released.

A$AP Rocky’s second show at South by Southwest ended somewhat abruptly, cut short after an altercation between unruly audience members and the A$AP Mob. While playing the Vice Killed Texas party, an A$AP affiliate had his bandana snatched off of his head, and while demanding it be returned was met by flying beer cans. Rocky implored the crowd to behave so the fun could continue, but unfortunately his plea fell on deaf ears. Dat PMF, with various members of his crew, promptly leaped into the crowd, throwing punches before the fight was quickly broken up and the venue cleared.
