Puerto Rican-American rapper Eladio Carrión abruptly halted his performance in Guatemala City on October 2, 2025, after a fan hurled a can toward the stage, creating momentary chaos at the packed venue.
The Latin Grammy winner, visibly concerned about safety, paused mid-song as security personnel swiftly intervened to address the situation. Fan-captured videos of the incident immediately circulated across social media platforms, drawing widespread attention to the disruption.
Carrión, currently on his ambitious “DON KBRN World Tour” promoting his sixth studio album, eventually resumed the show after security guaranteed the environment was safe.
The tour, spanning 31 dates across North America and Latin America, represents Carrión’s most extensive concert series to date, with performances at prestigious venues including Orlando’s Kia Center and Inglewood’s YouTube Theater. His album “DON KBRN” has achieved remarkable commercial success, debuting at #1 on Spotify’s USA and Global Top Albums Debut Charts and reaching #8 on Apple Music’s all-genre chart.
The Guatemala incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding concert security and fan behavior at large venues. While no injuries were reported, the disruption underscores the challenges performers face during live shows.
Major venues on Carrión’s tour implement strict security protocols, including bag restrictions and prohibited items lists, though enforcement varies by location. The YouTube Theater enforces a strict bag policy requiring all bags to not exceed 11 inches x 14 inches with mandatory searches conducted at entry points. Industry experts emphasize that a thorough venue assessment before performances can help artists and their teams anticipate potential security issues.
Before establishing himself as a musical powerhouse, Carrión built his following as a social media personality and competitive swimmer. His shift to music has yielded collaborations with industry titans like Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Anuel AA, cementing his reputation for sharp lyricism and innovative fusion of Latin trap and reggaetón styles.
His singles “Vetements” and “H.I.M.” continue to perform impressively on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart.
Despite the brief interruption, Carrión’s tour continues to deliver the cinematic live experiences fans have come to expect, with ticket prices ranging from $25 to over $100 depending on the venue. The artist has been vocal about maintaining neutral posture during his high-energy performances to prevent strain injuries common among performers.
The incident has not reportedly affected ticket sales for remaining shows on his groundbreaking tour.
