Famous singer and rapper The Kid LAROI reportedly left a Springfield, Missouri, restaurant without paying his bill after performing in the city Tuesday.
Manager Autumn Gray said LAROI and a group of his friends ordered food and drinks at Dublin’s Pass Irish Pub and Restaurant, and that he was kind enough to pose for photos with some excited fans, according to TMZ. Members of the group kept getting up and going outside to smoke, then returning to their table. Each time, they allegedly assured the staff they weren’t leaving — but then they did, the outlet reported.

Gray said the group ordered a number of items to their tab, including chicken wings, mac n’ cheese and brownies, according to TMZ. They were allegedly dining in a private room at the time.
Gray said at one point, the server went into the private room to start clearing the tables. There, the server allegedly discovered LAROI and his pals had dined and dashed, and that nobody was left to settle the tab.
The group left an unpaid bill of $133.58, TMZ reported. Gray said her serving staff relies on gratuities for the majority of their income, and that she feels they were taken advantage of by allegedly not being paid for their service.

Gray said she attempted to reach The Kid LAROI to address the alleged situation, but that she has yet to get a response.
It remains unclear if the purported dine and dash was a simple oversight or an intentional act, TMZ reported.
