"Hey yo, I f*****g challenge you, come up on the stage"
Karan Aujla halted his London concert in anger after a fan threw a shoe at him during his performance.
The artist made his debut at the O2 Arena on September 6, 2024, as part of his ‘It Was All A Dream’ world tour.
Karan has a dedicated fanbase across the world.
Although his London performance was an exciting one for his UK-based fans, one concertgoer took things too far.
A video featured Karan singing and grooving onstage with two dancers while people in the crowd filmed on their phones.
But suddenly, a white shoe flies into the shot and hits the Punjabi music star.
Karan’s attention immediately turns to the footwear as it drops to the ground.
His face quickly goes from enjoyment to anger as he calls for the music to be stopped as he repeatedly says: “Hold on.”
As Karan removes the shoe from the stage, the music fades out.
The angry star then asks: “Hey yo, what the f**k was that?”
Karan begins to scan the crowd, searching for the person responsible.
“Hold on! Who was that? Who was that?”
Fuming by the fan’s disrespectful actions, Karan challenged the person to come up on stage for a “one on one”.
“Hey yo, I f*****g challenge you, come up on the stage and let’s do one on one right now.”
Fans cheered Karan’s challenge as he implied it would be a physical one.
Karan continued to rage as he yelled: “F**k you dog, whoever the f**k it is.”
Appearing to have identified the perpetrator, Karan said:
“Don’t be throwing your shoes and s**t. Was it you?
“What are you trying to do? Come on please, I don’t wanna see anything wrong. Be respectful.”
Karan Aujla continued to address the crowd:
“I’m not singing that badly that you’d throw a shoe at me.
“If anyone here has a problem with me, come up on the stage and talk directly… because I’m not saying anything wrong.”
Another video showed the shoe-throwing concertgoer being escorted out of the arena by security.
