“There is no threat. Residents in the area are safe. The Wellmont and surrounding businesses are open to the public,” Montclair Police announced Sunday morning in an alert to residents caught by Montclair Local. Mayor Renee Baskerville also advised residents to avoid the area of the Wellmont Theater until “law enforcement and emergency personnel conduct a thorough investigation.” Check out one of the videos on social media taken during the concert below.

The confrontation, which occured at a gas station in November, led to the police being called. Clermont later came to the rapper's defense on social media, writing in a post: "Stop the f*cking lies. never had a disagreement with your partner??? Yall a strict f*cking crowd!! PLS," before adding in another post, "Lmao he was mad I locked him out.”
