AKA responded to the incident in a series of tweets:
“Fans” don’t jump on stage and ruin the show for everyone who’s watching it. It’s unfortunate that I ended up having to be my own security.

I put an insane amount of preparation into my shows … This is my craft, my livelihood and I take it seriously. Actions have consequences.

The word “FAN” is not the right one to use. Someone who does that is not my fan, they are not a supporter. They’re an idiot.

Run onto the pitch at a sports event and see what happens to you.

Don’t get it twisted …. I have no issues handling my own business.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) July 5, 2015
My only regret is that I put the fans who came to enjoy the show and DIDNT jump on stage at risk … For that im sorry.
