Tyler the Creator was arrested on Saturday in connection with a riot incident that occurred on Thursday night at the Scoot Inn, Austin police said, according to the Associated Press.
He was charged with Riot-Class A Misdemeanor with a bond at $3,500, the AP reported.
In 2012, the Odd Future rapper played the exact same venue, and also incited a riot, according to Radio.com.
"Specifically, the subject encouraged a large crowd on more than one occasion to force themselves past venue employees controlling access at the venue which was already at full capacity," read a statement from authorities, according to the AP.
Officers arrived at the Scoot Inn, 1308 E. 4th Street, on Thursday and were told that the venue was at capacity at 999 people, according to the Austin police affidavit, the AP reported.
The officers on scene heard Tyler the Creator, whose real name is Tyler Gregory Okonma, yell for those outside of the gates of the venue to be let in, according to the AP.
"All you guys back there that can't get in," he said before imploring the mob to bust down the gates, Radio.com reported. "PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!"
The calls from the artist led to a crowd of concert goers that "push[ed] through the employees working at the door which created an immediate danger of injury to persons," the affidavit said, the AP reported.
Austin police also released a video of the incident, which appears to show the artist saying to the crowd, "just run in right now ... do it, let's go," according to the AP.
Tyler the Creator's rep declined to comment to THR about the arrest, the AP reported.
