Footage shows the moment 50 Cent appeared to hurl a faulty microphone into the crowd at his Los Angeles concert on Wednesday night (30 August).
During the first show of his five-stop California circuit at the Crypto.com Arena, the rapper threw two mics off stage in frustration.
He can be seen flicking the first away, before launching the second into the crowd.
According to reports, the second microphone struck Power 106’s midday DJ Bryhana Monegain, leaving her with a forehead laceration.
50 Cent threw a microphone off stage that allegedly struck a concert-goer at his show on Wednesday at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
Fans captured footage that surfaced online of the incident, showing the rapper, 48, chucking two faulty microphones from stage.
The “In da Club” artist was reportedly handed one mic that wasn’t producing any sound as his guest, rapper YG, was performing, which he tossed to the left of the stage. The hip-hop star (whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III) was then handed another mic that proved to be faulty, which he also threw off stage with what appears to be greater force and thrown further back from the stage’s edge than the first mic.
Once the hip-hop artist was handed a working mic, he resumed the performance and joined YG, 33, center stage.
According to TMZ, the rapper tossed the mics into the production area where his crew was and the victim, who was allegedly hit by the equipment, was standing. Photos surfaced on Wednesday of the alleged victim, POWER 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain. The images showed her with an open wound on her forehead.
A source tells PEOPLE, “This is an unfortunate isolated incident where someone was in a restricted area they should not have been.”
Additionally, 50 Cent’s attorney Scott Leemon denied the incident was deliberate. “Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,” he told PEOPLE in a statement. “Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.”
50 Cent is currently on The Final Lap Tour, which honors the 20th anniversary of his Grammy-nominated debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. The tour kicked off on July 21 in Salt Lake City and the European leg is set to begin on Sept. 28 in Amsterdam. Eventually, the “21 Questions” rapper will take the show to cities including Dublin, London, Mumbai before wrapping up in Auckland, New Zealand on Dec. 14.
The incident on Wednesday follows a recent altercation involving Cardi B in which the “Bodak Yellow” rapper, 30, threw a microphone off stage at a fan in Las Vegas.
After referencing the heat and asking to be cooled off while performing at her July 29 show at Vegas’ Drai’s Beachclub, an audience member threw a drink in her direction and the “Up” artist responded by throwing a microphone at the front-row attendee. The fan was escorted away by security.
