Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way.

It seems to be a growing trend for fans to rush the stage of their favorite artists but it usually doesn't end well for them. If they don't manage to jump into the crowd by the time security gets to them, they're likely going to get roughed up a bit. So was the case of a Rae Sremmurd fan who decided to rush the stage in the middle of their performance at a Canadian festival.

Over the weekend, Rae Sremmurd performed for a massive crowd in Ottawa, ON for their annual Bluesfest. The two rappers were inthe middle of performing Swaecation anthem "Guatemala" when a fan decided to rush the stage. The individual managed to parkour his way past security, through the tall monitors and speakers and onto the stage. In the clip, you could see that he was trying to snap a selfie with Slim Jxmmi but gets rejected and hit with a blindside tackle from two big security guards. At that point, he accepted the L and was dragged off stage while Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee continued their performance.

A similar situation happened to a fan last week at a Bhad Bhabie show. When a fan tried to get on stage during her show in Europe, her security rushed him off the stage immediately. However, the security guard unfortunately also took a tumble with the fan off the stage.
