Penn State’s Student Programming Association (SPA) brought rapper and hip hop star GloRilla and to the Bryce Jordan Center to headline a show that also featured Waka Flocka Flame, DJ KAL$ and Orchesis on Thursday night.
DJ KAL$ got the audience singing along to “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap, Orchesis brought the fashion and dance of Michael Jackson and Waka Flocka Flame ran through the mob of students on the floor before ending with “No Hands.”
“Before GloRilla comes out, we’re gonna party in this motherf—,” Waka Flocka Flame said.
After Waka Flocka Flame ended his set, BJC security ran throughout the floor, making those sitting in the lower bowl, like Riley Bunch, question if something was wrong.
Bunch, a second-year studying risk management and accounting, went to the BJC for a “good time,” mainly to hear his favorite GloRilla song, “F.N.F (Let’s Go),” so he was confused about the security team’s apparent urgency.
Some attendees were quietly escorted off the floor, but there were no major disruptions as fans crowding the BJC’s floor began to wait for GloRilla.
But then, a fight broke out on the floor, and security team members ran to the source of shouts and raised phones, bordering the barricade in front of stage left.
