Chaos erupted at Rolling Loud after a viral video appeared to show a festival-goer throwing a trash can into a packed crowd, striking another attendee who immediately fell to the ground.
The incident reportedly took place during the three-day hip-hop festival held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando from May 8 to May 10.
Footage circulating online shows a blue trash can being launched high above attendees before crashing into someone in the crowd as nearby festival-goers rushed to help.

It remains unclear whether the person who was hit suffered serious injuries or whether authorities identified the individual responsible for throwing the trash can. The short clip quickly spread across social media, where users condemned the stunt as reckless and dangerous.
One person reacting online wrote that the act was “actually dangerous and stupid,” while another compared the scene to “dodgeball with random objects flying through the crowd.”
Additional videos from the festival appeared to show attendees throwing other objects, including garbage cans, around the venue. One clip also showed streamer and rapper PlaqueBoyMax being pelted with trash during his set.
The incident added to a long list of controversies surrounding Rolling Loud over the years. In 2022, Kid Cudi famously walked off stage during the festival after audience members repeatedly threw water bottles at him mid-performance.
This year’s Orlando edition featured headliners including Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, and Ken Carson.
