Following the incident, Young posted on Instagram: “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing ok now. Thank you for all of your support, Lola.” Rapper Doechii, who performed after Young, encouraged the crowd to cheer her on, asking them to shout, “We love you Lola,” in solidarity.
Young, who cancelled a performance at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre the previous day, is known for speaking openly about mental health. She released her third studio album, I’m Only F***** Myself*, earlier this month and gained recognition with her 2024 single Messy.
