The fan was hurt in a stampede of fans leaving the venue.

Lil Durk is the latest rapper to face some legal challenges stemming from a particularly rowdy concert. In Durk's case, he's being sued by a young fan who was trampled during a recent show. According to All Hip Hop, the lawsuit was filed last month by the boy's father Marcus Sloss and it also names Live Nation, iHeartRadio, and the venue that hosted the show as defendants. They're reportedly looking for $50k in damages and legal fees stemming from the medical fees resulting from the incident and the trial itself.

The lawsuit stems from Lil Durk's performance at 107.5 WGCI Summer Jam at the United Center in Chicago. During the show many in the audience falsely believed that shots had been fired, causing panic. In the rush for fans to leave the venue many, including the boy at the center of the lawsuit, were injured. The chaotic situation resulted in some scary stories for those trying to navigate the panicked crowd. The lawsuit claims that negligence and mishandling of the situation were present by the named parties. Check out video of the resulting panic at the show below.
