Gunna Defends Flo Milli After She Ends Performance Early

On Saturday (May 4), Gunna kicked off his Bittersweet Tour in Columbus, Ohio, which features Flo Milli as the opening act. Videos emerged on social media shortly after Flo took the stage that showed her ending her set early as fans continued to throw objects at her on stage.

“B***h when I catch you…I swear to f**kin’ God,” she said before dropping the mic and walking off stage.

While the rest of the night went on as scheduled, Gunna hopped on X, formerly known as Twitter on Sunday (May 5). He condemned the fans’ mistreatment of Flo Milli and said simply he wouldn’t tolerate it moving forward.

“No disrespect in any form @_FloMilli will be tolerated on tour,” Gunna wrote below. “family ties.”

Milli then retweeted Gunna’s response and wrote, “my mf brudda.”

Ari Lennox Speaks Out Following Flo Milli Mistreatment

R&B singer Ari Lennox came to Flo Milli’s defense after videos of her mistreatment emerged online, and said on her Instagram Story she experienced similarly toxic behavior while opening for Rod Wave back in October.

“Flo Milli I’m sorry this happened to you,” she wrote. “You are beautiful and incredibly talented woman. Some of these people can be so damn cruel.”

Lennox then went on to criticize Rod Wave’s “evil” and “demonic” fans for hurling objects at her during multiple opening sets on Rod’s Nostalgia Tour.

“Maybe I could’ve gotten over some of Rod Wave’s, evil, racist and demonic fans, but what made it even worse is Rod saying nothing in my defense. Privately or publicly.”

Rico Nasty had a similar experience while opening for Playboi Carti on his King Vamp Tour in 2021, and Carti never came to Rico’s defense either. Why is it that Black female artists have been the target of these fan bases in recent years? More importantly, why is Gunna the only one stepping up to defend his opening act? Not to mention it’s unclear if Gunna actually called out Flo Milli’s mistreatment during his actual show.
