Frustrated 50 Cent throws mic into crowd at LA concert, hitting a fan on the head

American rapper 50 Cent might be in some legal trouble as he hurled his microphone into the crowd during his concert in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena on August 30, and it hit a concertgoer on the head.

The woman was left with a gruesome head injury and filed a police report against him on Wednesday night, TMZ reported. 

What happened

Curtis James Jackson III, who is professionally known as 50 Cent, had joined rapper YG on stage when he threw the broken mic at the crowd in rage and frustration because he was given several mics that did not work and it clearly annoyed and triggered him.

• He threw the mic at the crowd of fans and ended up hurting a woman in the head.
• The woman who got hurt was Power 106 radio host, Bryhana Monegain, who filed a police report against the American rapper on August 30 itself. 

Suspect in criminal battery

TMZ reports that 50 Cent is now a suspect in a criminal felony battery report.

• According to law enforcement sources, the 48-year-old American rapper actually threw the mic at his crew in the production area but it hit the victim.
• Those who were present during the concert said that 50 Cent was not targeting the woman and did not mean to hit her with the mic. 

However, Bryhana Monegain told police officers that the rapper looked directly at her before hurling the mic, according to her; and that he knew she was there.

Bryhana went to the hospital with a deep cut on her head.

50 Cent's attorney Scott Leemon, told TMZ, "Let's be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis (AKA 50 Cent) would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed."

Also, a source close to the American actor and television producer told the news outlet that Bryhana Monegain wasn't supposed to be present in the restricted section, however, it's not clear how this excuses or justifies his decision to hurl a mic at the crowd.
