Three people were hospitalized Tuesday night after a brawl broke out at a Pusha-T concert in Toronto, leading the rapper to blame Drake for the incident.

Pusha-T was performing at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto — Drake's hometown — on Tuesday night, when members of the crowd began to throw liquid on stage.

Videos posted online showed several people on stage appearing to attack a person. On Twitter, Pusha-T said he wasn't the one being attacked. Other videos of the moment show what appear to be Pusha-T's bodyguards fighting back the attendees who rushed the stage. It is still not entirely clear what transpired on stage.
