A viral video capturing a startling moment shows 50 Cent tossing a microphone into the audience, creating a stir across social media platforms. The aftermath of this incident has led to the rapper becoming the focal point of a criminal battery investigation, as reported by TMZ. The woman who was struck by the microphone has reportedly taken swift action, filing a police report on Wednesday night. Her account claims that 50 Cent directly locked eyes with her before launching the mic.
The episode unfolded during 50 Cent’s performance at the Crypto.com Arena, where he took the stage for his “Final Lap” tour. Throughout the show, production handed him multiple microphones that appeared to be malfunctioning. Evidently growing frustrated with the faulty equipment, the rapper’s actions in the footage show him on stage alongside YG. As YG delivered his verses, 50 Cent turned to one side of the stage and forcefully threw his microphone into the crowd, inadvertently striking a woman in the head.
The aftermath was documented by the victim herself, who shared photos of her forehead with a sizable gash, covered by a blood-soaked towel, with The Neighborhood Talk. TMZ, in pursuit of a comprehensive perspective, reached out to 50 Cent’s team for a response, yet they are yet to receive any official statement regarding the incident.
Interestingly, this occurrence draws parallels to a past situation involving Cardi B, who was caught on camera hurling her microphone at a fan. However, Cardi’s criminal battery investigation eventually fizzled out. Notably, the microphone she used in that incident fetched a staggering sum of almost $100,000 on eBay. The mic’s proceeds were equally divided between Friendship Circle Las Vegas and the Wounded Warrior Project, as revealed by the seller, Scott Fisher, who listed it on eBay.
