Many in Los Angeles were excited to see Jazmine Sullivan and other performers like Wale and Too $hort for the Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival hosted by Amazon Music Live. However, when it came to the R&B star's set in particular, something happened that made them cancel it. It's unclear what it was at the moment, as this is a developing story. Still, testimonies on social media indicate that multiple crowd stampedes caused disruption at the festival and prompted either Jazmine, her team, or organizers to call things off. Some were unaware of what happened while attending, while others said that a shooting went down.
In addition, many who were watching the performances via livestream expressed confusion online, as Amazon Music apparently simply said that the event was over. Of course, given the early nature of this news and reports, take these with a grain of salt as more information emerges. Regardless, fan testimonies are particularly scary to hear, as it seemed like a potentially dangerous development in what was otherwise a beautiful and joyous celebration. Fans of the acclaimed singer who weren't present gave their complaints, but the focus quickly shifted to people on the ground.
Jazmine Sullivan's Message To Fans After Show Cancellation
In fact, Jazmine Sullivan herself came through with a message for fans on her Instagram Story. "I hope everyone made it home to their loved ones tonight!" the 36-year-old Heaux Tales star wrote. "I'm so disappointed we couldn't come together and celebrate Juneteenth! If you're still at the park please leave. The show is cancelled," she concluded with a crying emoji. While she didn't hint at the reason behind the cancellation, the fact she expressed hope that everyone got home safe confirms what fans are saying online.
On that note, some fans gave testimonies of there being a shooting that caused these stampedes, while other news outlets don't mention it. In fact, others online are calling it misinformation and stating that there was poor crowd control and two shoving incidents. No matter what happened, hopefully everyone made it home safe.
