Nas was promoting his new single, which was released on Monday

A concert at London's Brixton Academy was halted after shots were fired as American rapper Nas performed on stage.

Witnesses said a man jumped on stage and fired a weapon during a set by the husband of pop star Kelis.

Police said two bullets, which they believe were fired towards the ceiling, were found at the south London venue.

The concert was stopped immediately after the incident and the premises cleared. No-one was found to have been hurt and no arrests have been made.

A police spokeswoman said officers were called to the academy at 2156 GMT on Monday following reports of shots being fired inside the venue and people running away.

She said: "We believe that two shots were fired towards the ceiling. Two bullets and two casings have been recovered from the scene."

She added that officers from Operation Trident, which deals with gun crime within the black community, would be taking over the investigation.

London Ambulance Service was also called to the venue, police said.

Brixton Academy spokeswoman Louise Kovacs said the venue had been evacuated following consultation with police.

She said there was "a high level of security" at every event.

More than 100 security staff had been working at the show and concert-goers passed through scanning and security checks at the entrance to the venue.

Nas has been touring the UK to promote his double A-side single Just A Moment and No One Else In The Room.

The reason why Nigz think england aint thugged out is cos they dont let Real nigz on Tv over there. most murders in England with gunz are unsolved its at a 30% solve rate, thats cos snitches dont get protection so no one snitches cos you will jus get shot too and no one will tell the cops who did it. The drug trade is blooming an so more murders are happening, of course most of the murders are blacks cos its mostly us in the lower end of the game while the whites and their overseas patners are making the real money and getin away wit shit too, while we go jail and the grave yard. As Jacka's Says 'We Drugged out in this drug war'.

It's true... and plus most police over here don't carry guns so they're not handling much, police are pretty lame in this country anyway.

Yes, the drug trade is to blame, Yardies are strong over here in certain cities like mine, so its turf wars and shootings over slanging their shit.

The city of Nottingham is feelin it real bad right now, but Bristol has times when it's shootings the whole damn time. Drugs is thick here too.

I remember carnival here one time when some fools from another city caused static, someone pulled a damn nail gun out and was firing that.

I certainly don't wish to glorify it, but England and Europe is no different to any city or state of the US with the problems it goes through.

It has me rollin' when fools think outside the US everyone has it easy and be sippin on tea and choppin it up with the damn queen.

And to the foo' who asked if they have 'guns in London' ... I'm not sure what is more ignorant, speaking on the guns or speaking on London.

It kills me everytime dudes just saying London like thats all that exists over here. UK is small but the cities are thick.

Mine is maybe 6th or 7th biggest in the country and the population figures are still bigger than St. Louis, Cincinnatti, Atlanta.

Everything else that goes with that in any city... crime, violence, money, poverty.... it does exist outside the USA dog lol

Thank you SLOWPOKE for having a brain and catching the sarcasim from the start.

But to say London is like any city in America is absurd.

Just check the stats:

Country | Yearly Firearm Homicides

USA | 11,127
Germany | 381
France | 255
Canada | 165
United Kingdom | 68
Japan | 39

Yea but the size of England represents one small state in the US, you have 50 something states we are one little island

On the whole though most English cities are a lot safer than their US counterparts, but we do have guns, ghetto's, drugs and gangsters just like everywhere else

Thats true, London is a lot smaller than the entire US, but regardless, take one US city and compare it to London (Washington DC, Chicago, Detriot, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Gary Indiana, Fairfield Alabama etc.). Shit, even Honolulu, which is at the bottom of the list had 18 murders last year.

Listen, I know there is a gun probelm in London; I'm aware the gun ban did nothing and gun violence has actually increased; I'm aware London has it's own problems yada yada yada. Point is my sarcasim was directly related to the microscopic violence that exists compared to here in the U.S. It’s nothing to brag about, I’m not saying “The US is harder than London” or whatever the fuck. I'm just sayin

18 murders a year? where are you getting your stats? they must cover the last 20 years because in the last 5yrs shit has got much worse. The Biggest murder zones are ( In no order) Birmingham,Nottingham, Manchester,London and Bristol. I know for a fact that at least eight people got shot and killed in my area of london alone last year . ( South-East where the shooting happened.) I got fam in Birmingham and at least four people that i know about got shot there too so thats 12 people already. I dont know about the rest because our gun crime isnt reported unless some one white got shot or the Goverment wants to bring in a new law.

All our shit is found out through street shit and when blacks,espanics, Foriegns etc get shot or murdered they some times get listed as 'death by mis adventure' or 'miscelanoius' (sp). Only two people that i know that have been shot a killed actualy got murdered with a firearm on there cases, the rest got 'Death from misadventure. This is because they were black so the police assume they might have been involved in crime but have no proof so the death isnt listed as a murder and there mums has to just deal with the fact that she will neva get justice.

I hate how shit is over here now cos every crew has got gunz now, when a few years ago only big gangs an dealers had them. Americas death rate is fucked up but dont overlook shit in other countrys because you will get bodied jus as fast in ne ghetto in the world. I aint braging im just opening closed eyes.

It's 3 or 4 years old; I couldnt find anything from last year. Regardless, even if it doubled every year for the past 5 years...still got nothing on a US city.

I'm not overlooking anything and you can’t open my eyes to shit I already know.

My simple point, once again, is US cities have immensely higher Gun Related deaths per year than any UK city, period. I’m not going to continue beating this dead horse since the numbers are irrefutable, regardless if some murders are not counted in London. Shit, quadruple the murders if you’d like, still got nothing on Chicago, Washington DC. etc. etc. etc.
