Gunna recently stopped in Detroit during his ‘Bitter Sweet’ tour. However, it was the audience and the show venue that had people talking online. A viral video shows a balcony inside Fox Theatre violently shaking as fans bounced to the music.
On Tuesday (May 7), the venue reportedly reacted to viral concern over the safety of its structures.

Gunna shared the now-viral clip on his Instagram page on May 6 following the Monday night show. Detroit was the second stop on his tour across the United States — his first since being released from jail in 2022.
The clip switched between Gunna performing ‘f*kumean’ on stage and a balcony inside the theatre. The balcony was visibly shaking as fans turned up to the song.
Watch the clip below.
Here’s How Fox Theatre Reacted
According to The Detroit News, the theatre building is nearly 100 years old. Still, venue reps claimed the wobbling balcony was normal.
The company’s statement said, “The type of movement seen at the recent Fox Theatre concert is common and expected on free-standing balcony structures to support audience members actively dancing, as shown during last night’s concert.”
Additionally, Detroit’s Fox Theatre said their venue was recently inspected and cleared for audiences in April.
“This capability is an integral part of the balcony’s structural engineering design. Regular inspections, most recently conducted in April, are completed to ensure the integrity and safety of the structure.”
The venue has undergone several restorations since its opening in Sept. 1928, per Historic Detroit.
Social Media Was All Over The Place With Reactions
Gunna hasn’t given any other commentary about the wobbling balcony on his show, aside from his caption on the video post. All it said was “Eyuhh” with a nervous emoticon and hashtags of his tour name and Detroit.
Meanwhile, across X (formerly Twitter) and under The Shade Room’s repost, soem folks couldn’t believe their eyes, while others suggested the balcony is engineered to withstand the wobbling.
