Despite facing criticism for their use of violent and obscene lyrics, ICP continued to gain more fans and sell out concerts nationwide. ICP concerts are known for their high-energy performances and eclectic crowds that often dress up in clown-inspired costumes. The concertgoers identify as members of the "Juggalo" subculture and show their support for the group by painting their faces and wearing hatchetman merchandise.

Despite all the negative attention from outside sources, ICP concerts remain a massive draw for fans. They offer a cathartic and exciting outlet for people to let loose and fully embrace their individuality. The energy and enthusiasm from the crowd mirror the insane passion and intensity from the performers onstage. In conclusion, Inner City Posse has built up a considerable fan base over the years with its live shows being the source of the band's success.
