Note to promoters everywhere: Never underestimate the size of a free concert—especially when it involves a former Degrassi star. In particular, a Degrassi star now known as Drake.

On Tuesday, an event promoted by Paper magazine was called off by police before it even started. The reason? Too many people and not enough security. Although organizers predicted approximately 10,000 to watch Drake - and Hanson - perform, the crowd was more than twice that size. It was estimated that nearly 25,000 showed up at Pier 17 on Manhattan’s South Street Seaport.

Needless to say, the large group didn’t take it quite well when they were told the concert would be canceled. Following the announcement, fists, plates and chairs. Six attendees sustained minor injuries and two were arrested on minor charges.

Drake, who tried to make it on stage, apologized to the concertgoers via Twitter: “I am so dissapointed. To all the devoted fans that came out I wish you could have seen what I had planned! Until next time,” he wrote.
