Tyler, The Creator has been arrested after allegedly inciting a riot during his performance at SXSW on Thursday (13 March).
The rapper, whose real name is Tyler Okonma, encouraged a crowd of people to smash down the gates surrounding his venue, after many had failed to get into his headlining slot at the Scoot Inn.
In video footage that has emerged, Okonma can be heard shouting: "Just run in, right now. Fucking do it, let's go", as the crowd begin to surge uncontrollably through the collapsed barriers.

The rapper was intercepted at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport yesterday (15 March), after a warrant was issued for his arrest. The Austin Police Department have since released a statement explaining that he has been charged with Riot-Class A Misdemeanor, and has a bond of $25,000.
The statement goes on to say, "The subject encouraged behavior causing an immediate danger and injury to persons... Regardless of the size of a crowd, the encouragement of unruly and unlawful behavior is against the law and cannot be tolerated."
Last month, the rapper and members of his collective, Odd Future, were denied entry to New Zealand, after officials suggested they posed a "public threat" due to past incidents of inciting violence at gigs.
