During 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour, an unfortunate incident occurred when the G-Unit leader threw a microphone into the audience, inadvertently hitting a fan in the head and leaving them bloodied and bruised.
The Power mogul took the stage at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com arena on Wednesday and, despite an entertaining show, he grew frustrated when handed multiple malfunctioning microphones. A video posted by The Neighborhood Talk captured 50 Cent’s visible irritation, leading him to aggressively toss two broken mics into the crowd.
Regrettably, one of these mics struck a woman in the head, resulting in a bloody gash on her temple.
50 Cent has not yet responded to the incident, but TMZ has reported that he is now a suspect in a criminal felony battery case.
According to the outlet, the woman who was struck is Bryhana Monegain, a host at Power 106, and she has filed a police report. Monegain informed authorities that 50 Cent looked at her before throwing the microphone, indicating that he was aware of her presence. Following the incident, Monegain sought medical attention for a head laceration.
Interestingly, 50 Cent is not the only rapper who has used a microphone in this way during a performance. Cardi B, for instance, had a similar encounter while performing at an outdoor daytime party in Las Vegas in July. Footage from the event showed Cardi B being drenched with water by a fan in the crowd while she was performing “Bodak Yellow.” In response, Cardi threw her microphone at the individual responsible before they were escorted out of the venue.
