The rapper, 38, paused his Rolling Loud Miami festival performance on Friday after being struck in the face by a bottle. After being hit, the "Pursuit of Happiness" singer said to the crowd, "Yo, I will walk off this stage if y'all throw one more f------ thing up here." He continued, "I will leave right now." "You are ruining [it] for everybody," he said. "If I get hit with one more f------ thing, if I see one more f------ thing on this f------ stage I'm leaving. Don't f--- with me." As he finished speaking, another object was thrown right beside him. The rapper then walked off stage cutting his set short. Jason Koerner/Getty Fans of the rapper went to social media to express their frustration. "The Kid Cudi hate is truly embarrassing and sad af," tweeted one user. "Dude don't deserve any of that just because your favorite artist refused to show up." For more on Rolling Loud, listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day. Kid Cudi was selected to perform at the festival after the original headliner, Kanye West, dropped out of the gig at the last minute "due to circumstances outside of our control," said the festival's statement. "I feel bad for him, he didn't deserve that," tweeted another person. This same user also revealed the audience began chanting "Kanye" as Kid Cudi walked off.

In April, the Entergalactic artist said that he and West are "not cool" when they appeared together on the Pusha T track "Rock n Roll" from his new album It's Almost Dry. "I did this song a year ago when I was still cool w Kanye. I am not cool w that man," Cudi wrote on Twitter at the time. "He's not my friend and I only cleared the song for Pusha cuz thats my guy. This is the last song u will hear me on w Kanye."

"Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he's friends with you-know-who," West wrote at the time.
