50 Cent’s Lawyer Addresses Claim Rapper Hit Concertgoer With Microphone
etcanada.com50 Cent‘s lawyer is denying that the rapper “intentionally” struck anyone after allegedly hitting a fan in the head with his microphone during a performance. “Let’s be very clear; as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,” the “Power” star’s attorney, Scott Leemon, tells ET in a statement. “Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.” The incident occurred during the rapper’s appearance at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday as part of his “Final Lap Tour”.
In a video captured by fans, the 48-year-old rapper — born Curtis Jackson — is seen on one side of the stage, seemingly frustrated with his microphones as he throws one down and hands off another while YG performs on the stage behind him.
A moment later, Jackson is seen walking to another part of the stage before he reappears rapping into another mic. That one also seems to fail and a crew member hands him a new mic.
Jackson then turns and hurls his faulty mic into an area offstage. Although the video does not show where the microphone landed, photos of Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain, obtained by the Neighborhood Talk, show she suffered an injury to her forehead purportedly from being hit with Jackson’s mic.
