Country music star stops concert after brawl breaks out: ‘This is not a Travis Scott concert’

Cody Johnson essentially threatened to turn the car around over the weekend when he stopped a show in San Antonio, Texas after a brawl broke out in the crowd.

“That’s alright, we got all night,” Johnson announced from the stage as the country music singer, 38, was in the middle of performing “God Bless America.”

“I mean, this is not a Travis Scott concert,” he said.

The comment was in reference to the tragic fatal crowd rush Astroworld Festival in Texas in 2021.

“There’s kids in the crowd,” Johnson reminded the audience.

“There we go, there’s the police officers,” he added, as the crowd cheered.

Johnson said that over the last five years, he’s “grown tired of … watching the news media and people in politics try to divide us when we don’t need to be divided.”

“Do you know why it’s okay sometimes to disagree with your fellow American, on anything?” he asked the crowd. “Because before most of us were born, an American soldier gave his or her life to have the freedom to disagree in the United States.”

According to one TikTok user, after the brawl was shut down and he was able to continue the show, he quipped, “There goes my speech about unity” to the crowd.
