At a recent concert, pop singer Bebe Rexha, kicked out a fan who threw an object at her while she performed. The incident unfolded mid-performance when Rexha stopped her set to confront the audience member. Footage from the event, shared on social media, captures Rexha's anger as she addresses the culprit. "If you hit me with something on stage, I'll take you for everything you've f***ing done. Do not f***ing play with me right now. Out, get the f**k out," she declared, as the crowd supported her with cheers.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to Rexha's handling of this situation. Some support her firm stance, with one social media user commenting, "People seriously need to leave her alone. She doesn't do anything wrong to warrant the things she faces." Another wrote, "As she should. This behavior of throwing things at artists on stage needs to stop. It's very irritating."
This is not the first time Rexha has encountered such behavior. Last year, she was hit in the face with a mobile phone during a New York City concert, resulting in a black eye and requiring stitches. The perpetrator, Nicolas Malvagna, was arrested and charged with felony assault. Malvagna reportedly told police he thought it "would be funny" to throw the phone at the singer. He faced multiple charges, including third-degree assault and second-degree harassment, and later agreed to complete 40 days of community service in exchange for the dismissal of his charges.
Despite these past incidents, the troubling trend has persisted into 2024. Rexha had to confront another disruptive audience member in Wisconsin just last month. During her performance of "I'm Good (Blue)," Rexha paused to call out the offender and joked, "Or if you want to hit me in the face, I pressed charges to the other guy – I would love to become richer. So go right ahead, honey." She quickly clarified, "I'm not inviting that, please, I'm just joking."
The pattern of fans throwing objects at performers has not been limited to Rexha. Other artists, including Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, Drake, Cardi B, and Pink, have also experienced similar disruptions. In one notable incident, Cardi B retaliated by throwing her microphone at a fan who tossed a drink at her.
