Even though concerts are well-organized during the planning process, a lot of things could still go wrong when the show starts. This is what happened at Kehlani's recent concert where the singer decided to end her set early after a shocking incident in the audience area.
According to Uproxx, the R&B star performed at Mann Center in Philadelphia. At first, the show appeared to be doing good, but she cut the show short when several concertgoers appeared to have fainted.
The "I Like Dat" songstress addressed the crowd before leaving the stage, saying she doesn't feel comfortable anymore.

"I can't have this. This is not OK. I don't feel comfortable. I don't feel OK. I don't feel like anybody is safe right now," she said, as seen in a fan-shot video circulating on TikTok.
The songstress added that she loves her fans so much and she couldn't explain how disappointed and heartbroken she is.

What Happened to the Fans Who Fainted During Kehlani's Show?
According to Rolling Stone, Kehlani's Philadelphia show amassed 5,600 concertgoers. The venue has a capacity of 7,500.
A Man Center official confirmed that the singer had consistently asked her fans to "Step back from the stage and make space for each other."
It appears that no one suffered drastic conditions as the representative confirmed that no one was taken to the hospital.
