Lil Durk's show at Chicago's United Center over the weekend was derailed after police descended on the venue following reports of an active shooter.

As reported by TMZ, chaos ensued as fans ran to the exits, which resulted in some unruly attendees starting fights and looting the merchandise stands while police investigated the alleged shooter situation.

Chicago police confirmed the reports were a false alarm, and no arrests were made. Fortunately, no injuries were reported either.

Durk hopped on his Instagram Story following the show to address the situation, thanking Chicago for coming out to watch him perform.

"Don't believe the hype," he wrote. "We bigger then big. Thank you Chicago. Till next time. And who all stole the merchandise tag me so I can repost y'all crazy ass."

The incident arrives less than a month after Durk was hospitalized for severe dehydration, forcing him to cancel tour dates as he focused on his recovery.

"Since I'm still awaiting to get full clearance from my doctors to travel and perform again, I have no other choice but to cancel my headlining Rolling Loud performance," he wrote at the time. "While I'm home resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th & 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the the [sic] country, I'll be announcing new dates soon. #StillHealing"
