Riley Green is being recognized for calling out a fight that broke out between two fans during his show at the Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Canada on Friday, April 4. A new set of videos have surfaced online, capturing the moment Green stopped his set to deal with the disruption.
He was in the midst of performing his steamy tune, “Worst Way” when a few “fellas” in the audience got his attention. With his guitar still in hand, the country star moved over to his mic and pointed directly at one fan while saying, “hey, Tell the dumb*** with the no sleeves to turn around.”
Although there doesn’t appear to be a clear view of the two people who started the fight, it seems that Green knew exactly who he was talking to and made it clear they were not going to mess up the experience for anyone around them.
So instead of waiting for security to handle the situation, he asked them, “Is it that important?” and then proceeded to wave them out of the sea of people in the pit.
“If y’all wanna fight, go out here and do it,” he said pointing to the exit. “They’re gonna beat the sh*t of out of each other out back but I have a couple more songs first so take his a** out of here,” he added confidently, earning a roar of cheers from the audience.

Once Green was satisfied with the troublemakers’ exit, he went right back into the set and finished out “Worst Way.”
The comment section of the video shared on the official TikTok account of Canada’s Boots and Hearts Music Festival was filled kind messages as fans praised the “Change My Mind” singer for going about the situation in a calm matter.
“He handled it well,” one user wrote while another said, “Respectfully handled. Great job Riley,” followed by a “Heck yeah… tell ‘em Riley 🙌🏻… 🥰”
Damn Country Music Tour To Return To The U.S. In May
This moment took place during a stop on his current headlining Damn Country Music Tour. The Alabama recently wrapped up his dates across Canada and will return to the U.S. on May 1 with a show in Athens, GA. The trek is set to run through August and features Ella Langley as support, along with special guests Vincent Mason, Mike Ryan, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington, Drake White and more.
The name of the tour was inspired by Riley Green’s forthcoming album, Don’t Mind If I Do, which arrived on his birthday, October 18. The 18- track project includes several songs featured on his previously released Way Out Here EP as well as two collaborations – “Reel Problems” featuring Luke Bryan and the title track, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” featuring “You Look Like You Love Me” duet partner, Ella Langley.
