John Summit Asks Fans To Stop Throwing Shit At Him: “It’s Getting Disrespectful”
The post John Summit Asks Fans To Stop Throwing Shit At Him: “It’s Getting Disrespectful” appeared first on Stereogum .
The plague of fans throwing things at performers continues. Last week, someone in the crowd threw a phone at the Chilean-Mexican star Mon Laferte and hit her in the eye during her Las Vegas show. Now, the big-deal dance DJ John Summit humbly requests that people stop throwing shit at him.
John Summit regularly entertains vast crowds, and some of the people in those crowds evidently don't know how to act. On Saturday, Summit was in the middle of a show at Fort Worth's Ariat Arena when someone in the crowd threw an unidentified object at him. I can't tell what the thing was from the video. Summit didn't get hurt or anything. He didn't even acknowledge it in the moment. Instead, he just kept shirtlessly posing. (If I looked like that guy, I'd do a lot of shirtless posing onstage, too.)
On his Instagram stories afterward, Summit posted an image of himself looking vaguely stressed out, and he added this text: "can you guys please stop pulling me and shoving phones in my face and throwing shit at me it's getting disrespectful."
Summit apparently has a habit of walking through the crowd mid-show, and this kind of things has happened before.
In the past, Summit has defended Burning Man and gotten into online beefs with Travis Scott , Diplo , and Pete Tong . Regardless of how you feel about any of those situations, he is completely in the right here. Stop throwing shit!
