After violence outside ComplexCon, Juice God says skip LA and bring it to Anaheim

Juice God has a message for Complex: don't bring ComplexCon back to Los Angeles. That is the headline on a panel clip posted Oct. 9, 2026, by Foo Community and Juice Unlocked, in which the hosts call LA "a liability issue" for big hip-hop events and pitch the Anaheim Convention Center instead.

The clip landed less than a week after a fight outside the festival left four people hurt, according to LAPD.

What happened at ComplexCon

ComplexCon marked its 10th anniversary Oct. 3-4 with its Los Angeles debut, taking over the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, BizBash reported. Ken Carson headlined the Saturday show and Playboi Carti headlined Sunday, according to Complex's event guide.

Police responded around 4:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, to a fight outside the venue, Revolt reported. LAPD said four people had injuries "consistent with stab wounds or lacerations." Two were taken to a hospital, a third went on their own, and a fourth, with an elbow laceration, declined treatment at the scene.

Videos from the scene appeared to show Chicago rapper Lucki bleeding from a wound to his neck, The Fader reported; Revolt reported he later showed his stitches. TMZ reported that LAPD was investigating the fight as an attempted homicide and that Carti was at the scene but not involved, watching from a car, according to The Fader. No suspects had been identified, Revolt reported.

ComplexCon said the incident happened "on the public street outside the event," Revolt reported, and that its security team and LAPD "responded immediately," according to HotNewHipHop.

“This is a liability issue.”

The argument for OC

On the panel, one host said that if he owned ComplexCon or Rolling Loud, he would not hold his events in LA. "We got to be able to get our artists in and out of these venues safely," a panelist said.

The hosts pointed to ComplexCon's earlier homes. "Even in Long Beach, they said it went smooth without an issue," one said, adding that Las Vegas had it "locked down." The pitch: bring it to the Anaheim Convention Center.

ComplexCon started in Long Beach in 2016 before a two-year run in Las Vegas, which welcomed more than 70,000 attendees in 2025, according to BizBash.

The panel also brought up Kanye West, who walked the festival floor Sunday and opened Carti's set with a three-song guest appearance, Complex reported. "I was surprised to see Kanye up in there," one host said.

“We got to be able to get our artists in and out of these venues safely.”
