After a few moments, the same user says that after the second incident of the technical issues, Future decided to cut his set short: "Power comes on and Future gets busy again. We rocking.

After the performance, Future attempted to make things right with his Philly fans by tweeting that "it's always 1000% love with us," before mentioning his Summer Sixteen tour with Drake. Hopefully, his fans will have forgiven him before he performs in town again.
