A bomb threat delayed the premiere of Lil Nas X’s new documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival. The threat was called in just as the singer was arriving at the event.
Lil Nas X was delayed by 20 minutes while security investigated. The threat was eventually discredited and the festival continued as planned.
The Toronto Police Service confirmed the incident in a statement.
“Yesterday, at the TIFF, a passerby uttered a threat towards private security. Out of an abundance of caution, the Toronto Police and private security swept the scene and cleared it within 20 minutes. The threat was general and did not target any one person,” said the statement.
