The fallout from GloRilla’s fatal concert in Rochester, New York continues, as TMZ reports the rapper has been targeted by one of the victims’ families for a lawsuit. The family of 35-year-old Brandy Miller, one of the three people who died as the result of a crowd crush after the concert, plans to sue GloRilla and tourmate Finesse2tymes along with the venue, the Main Street Armory, and the event’s promoters.

Both rappers had reportedly already left the venue by the time the stampede took place, but that isn’t stopping the family from seeking out a high-profile attorney to argue they share some responsibility. According to Miller’s brother, who also attended the concert but had a different vantage point, the show was out of control from the start.

GloRilla and Finesse2tymes both addressed the tragedy when they found out about it, with Glo tweeting, “I am devastated & heartbroken over the tragic deaths that happened after Sunday’s show. My fans mean the world to me. Praying for their families & for a speedy recovery of everyone affected.” Unfortunately, two more people have died since then — the third, Aisha Stephens, died on March 8.

In addition to the potential lawsuit, the Armory also had its entertainment license revoked when its owner failed to appear for a meeting with the Rochester Police Department’s business licensing unit.

One Dead, Two in Critical Condition After Stampede at GloRilla & Finesse2Tymes Concert in Rochester

GloRilla and Finesse2Tymes will soon have to brace for a lawsuit as the family of one of the three dead after a concert stampede is planning to sue.

According to TMZ, concertgoer Brandy Miller was trampled in a stampede at the concert earlier this month. She died from her injuries. The stampede was caused by the belief of gunshots. Miller’s sister, Michelle, states the family will sue Glo, Finesse, the venue, Main Street Armory, and the concert’s promoters.

According to Miller, the team is looking for a high-profile attorney as the family “has no plans to back down.”

Last week, a third person died after the chaos at the event. According to the Associated Press, the third deceased is 35-year-old Aisha Stephens. Following the event at the Rochester Main Street Armory, she was the last remaining hospitalized victim. That venue is now closed.

Previously, 33-year-old Rhondesia Belton of Buffalo died, with several others injured following a stampede toward exits due to gunshots. Police state gunshots cannot be confirmed.

Rochester did not review the venue’s entertainment license on Wednesday, leading to the shutdown and starting a run of criminal and regulatory investigations. In addition, fire and code enforcement authorities will come inside the building and review photos and videos to determine any violations.

The main area of the armory had a capacity of 5,000 people.

On March 6, GloRilla released a statement.

Tragedy struck at GloRilla’s March 5 performance at Rochester, New York’s Main Street Armory: People were injured during a crowd surge, with one person later dying at the hospital. It was later reported that a second person died from their injuries, and now, so too has a third.

The Associated Press reports that according to police, 35-year-old Syracuse resident Aisha Stephens died in the hospital on Wednesday (March 8) night. That follows the deaths of 33-year-old Buffalo resident Rhondesia Belton and 35-year-old Rochester resident Brandy Miller. Stephens was the only remaining person in the hospital who was there as a result of injuries sustained at the concert. Police note the stampede, which took place as the show was ending, was possibly triggered by “unfounded fears of gunfire.”

GloRilla previously addressed the situation on social media, writing in a tweet, “I’m just now hearing about what happened wtf [single tear emojis] praying everybody is ok.” She later added, “I am devastated & heartbroken over the tragic deaths that happened after Sunday’s show. My fans mean the world to me [single tear emoji] praying for their families & for a speedy recovery of everyone affected.”

Meanwhile, it appears there won’t be any more concerts at the Main Street Armory for at least the foreseeable future, as the venue just had its entertainment license revoked.

GloRilla & Finesse2Tymes Concert Sees Third Stampede Death: Report

by

As a newcomer in the mainstream, this is supposed to be a carefree season for GloRilla. The Memphis hitmaker moved from a social media personality to a viral star to a certified rapper signed with Yo Gotti’s CMG. Her “F.N.F.” single took over social media, and as GloRilla has been traveling the world and amassing new fans, she’s been hit with a tragic setback. She was performing at a concert in Rochester, New York, with Finesse2Tymes when audience members believed they heard gunshots. Soon, people were pushing toward the exits.

The surge caused a stampede as the crowd ran for cover. It was just as the show was ending around 11:00 p.m.; however, an investigation uncovered that there weren’t any shots fired. Rhondesia Belton, 33, and Brandy Miller, 35, sadly died as a result of the incident. Forbes reports a third woman, 35-year-old Aisha Stephens, has also succumbed to her injuries.

The Venue Has Shut Down Following GloRilla & Finesse2Tymes’s Show

The Rochester Main Street Armory has also been under scrutiny after people reportedly called the venue a “death trap.” The Huffington Post reported that the City of Rochester refused to renew the Armory’s entertainment license. An investigation into its regulations is also ongoing, as well as if there will be criminal charges in the future. Additionally, authorities are inspecting the building for any code violations.

This event has caused Travis Scott’s scandal to be reintroduced. The Astroworld tragedy continues to be tied up in litigation, but it isn’t forgotten. A crowd surge involving thousands of fans caused ten people to lose their lives while several more were injured. Scott was blamed for the incident but denied culpability. Lawsuits have emerged from victims’ families, and the ordeal has caused artists to be more accountable for how they navigate fans in distress.

GloRilla and Finesse2Tymes have spoken about the deaths in Rochester. They are both devastated by the news and can’t believe this has unfolded. “I am devastated & heartbroken over the tragic deaths that happened after Sunday’s show,” GloRilla tweeted. “My fans mean the world to me 😢praying for their families & for a speedy recovery of everyone affected 🙏🏽.”

The Venue Where 2 People Died After A GloRilla Concert Has Had Its Business License Revoked

The Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York recently became notorious after a crowd surge incident following a GloRilla concert on Sunday (March 3) resulted in fatal injuries to two concertgoers. On Wednesday, Rochester police revoked the venue’s entertainment license after its owners failed to appear at a meeting with the Rochester Police Department’s Licensing Unit. According to Rolling Stone, the venue had already developed a local reputation for being a “deathtrap,” and police called the move a step to prevent further tragedies.

The incident on Sunday was apparently prompted by false reports of gunfire within the venue. As the crowd pushed toward the exits, ten people were injured. Two women — Rhondesia Belton and Brandy Miller — died from their injuries. The incident came at a time when concert security is under higher scrutiny in the wake of the Astroworld Festival disaster in 2021, which resulted in 10 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and nearly 1,000 lawsuits against the organizers, Live Nation.

GloRilla herself responded to the incident on Monday, writing, “I am devastated & heartbroken over the tragic deaths that happened after Sunday’s show. My fans mean the world to me. Praying for their families & for a speedy recovery of everyone affected.”

Rochester police chief David Smith said, “It is one step we can immediately take to ensure that the events of Sunday night are not repeated. The bottom line is, lives were lost, and we need to take steps to make sure that no lives are lost in the future if this was indeed something that was preventable.”

Since the Armory’s entertainment license was not renewed, it cannot host events like concerts such as an A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie show scheduled for this Saturday, March 11.
