Cody Johnson Halts Concert After Fight Post-‘God Bless America’

 Cody Johnson halted his recent concert after a scuffle happened in the crowd when he performed a patriotic song.

The 38-year-old country singer had just finished performing God Bless America when he was forced to condemn the fight during his show in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday night.

Johnson frequently performs the song – which many consider an ‘unofficial national anthem’ – to honor US service members and first responders.

A video was shared on TikTok of the incident as several people in the crowd are seen grabbing one another before falling to the ground.

Johnson addressed the scuffle and even threw a barb at one of the most famous rappers in the world as he said: ‘I mean, this is not a Travis Scott concert

‘There’s kids in the crowd, there’s all kinds of things in here that don’t need to happen.’

Back in November 2021, 10 Travis Scott fans were killed during a fatal crowd crush during the Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. 

Later, Johnson said that he spotted ‘police’ in the crowd’ as the audience applauded.

Before he performed God Bless America, he had encouraged the crowd toward ‘unity and not being divided’ as he blasted the media and politicians for coming in between people.

After the fight, Johnson joked: ‘Well, so much for my speech on not being divided.’

The situation was handled by authorities as the I’m Gonna Love You hitmaker was able to continue his concert.

No doubt the incident hit close to home as he is a Texas native being born and raised in Huntsville. 

He began playing music at the age of 12 as he learned from his father who performed at their local church.

The musician’s style is classified as contemporary country and neo-traditionalist country as he lists influences including George Strait and Willie Nelson.
