Sentino Concert Aborted After Egg Bottle Attack in Gdańsk

Sentino forced to abandon ScrapYard stage after projectile assault

Polish rapper Sentino, known legally as Sebastian Enrique Alvarez Pałucki, saw his July 17, 2026, concert in Gdańsk end prematurely after attendees began throwing eggs and bottles at the stage. The performance, which was intended to be the artist’s first appearance at the ScrapYard venue located on Malarzy Street, was halted after less than two songs. According to witnesses and reports from the service GlamRap, the situation became dangerous shortly after the event began. Security personnel attempted to intervene by using umbrellas to shield the rapper, but the increasing volume of projectiles made it impossible for the performance to continue. Although not officially confirmed, witnesses on-site reported that the artist may have been struck in the head by a bottle, prompting his immediate exit from the stage.

Security failures at the 18+ Gdańsk event

The incident is particularly notable given the event’s 18+ age restriction, which was intended to ensure an adult audience. Despite this, a group of individuals positioned on one side of the stage reportedly engaged in the aggressive behavior that forced the cancellation. As of the time of reporting, neither Sentino nor the event organizers have provided an official statement regarding the security failure or the disruption. This event stands in stark contrast to the artist’s previous appearance in Gdańsk in March 2026 at the Stary Maneż, where the audience was described as highly enthusiastic, singing along to the artist’s hits even when he utilized playback.

Career trajectory of Berlin-born rapper Sentino

Sentino, a Polish-German rapper of Chilean descent born in Berlin, has built a career navigating both the German and Polish music scenes. His musical style blends melody-driven trap, gangsta rap, and Latin influences. While his supporters often describe him as a charismatic showman capable of energizing crowds, he has long been a polarizing figure. His career has been marked by a series of scandals and unpredictable behavior, ranging from freestyle battles in Berlin to high-profile collaborations, such as those with Fagata, which consistently generate mixed reactions from the hip-hop community.

David Bravo and Jean Albert Renaud initiate copyright litigation

A major copyright lawsuit has been filed by David Bravo and Jean Albert Renaud, alleging that their 1980 composition, Skatin’—originally recorded by Eumir Deodato—was utilized without permission in two rap classics: Nasty Girl (2005) and I Wanna Thank Ya (2004). The plaintiffs argue that their work provided the fundamental harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic foundation for these tracks.

The list of defendants in the lawsuit is extensive, including Sean Diddy Combs, the estates of The Notorious B.I.G. and Angie Stone, and the rapper Nelly. Additionally, the producer Jazze Pha, who was involved in the creation of both tracks, has been named in the suit. To support their claims, Bravo and Renaud included an analysis from musicologist and producer Thomas Z. Shepard, who examined the structural similarities between the works.

The lawsuit also levels significant accusations against Sony Music Publishing. The plaintiffs claim the publisher breached its contractual obligations and failed to protect their rights. According to the filing, the publisher allegedly ignored the infringement, citing a conflict of interest due to its existing relationships with other contributors to the tracks. The lawsuit states: Sony Publishing celowo przymknęło oko na nieautoryzowane wykorzystanie czterotaktowego fundamentu muzycznego należącego do powodów.
