50 Cent smacks concertgoer on head as he hurls microphone into crowd just weeks after Cardi B's onstage incident
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, appears to be walking in the footsteps of Cardi B as he threw two separate microphones in the crowd at his LA show on Wednesday. The rapper threw the mic with force offstage when the item wasn't working.
Cardi B recently angrily tossed her mic at a fan who threw a drink at her during a Las Vegas show. The mic bounced and hit another person standing nearby.
50 Cent is now involved in a similar incident. In a now-viral video of the incident, 50 Cent was handed a mic that didn't work and was seen dropping it down impatiently on the side of the stage.
The rapper was given another mic that was also facing technical issues, prompting him to throw the item away, causing it to strike the fan.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent's attorney, Scott Leeman, has shared a statement with TMZ and claimed that his client did not "intentionally" strike the woman at his recent concert in Los Angeles.
Scott said, "Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone." The attorney added, "Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed."
Who is Bryhana Monegain?
The woman who was injured after 50 Cent threw a microphone into the crowd was identified as Bryhana Monegain. Bryhana Monegain is a popular on-air personality on LA's hip-hop station Power 106.

Will rapper 50 Cent face battery charges?
After the horrific incident, Bryhana Monegain filed a case against 50 Cent. The rapper is reportedly being investigated by police for battery after allegedly striking the radio host for Power 106.
Meanwhile, the criminal battery investigation into rapper Cardi B's act of throwing a microphone at a fan during her performance at Drai's nightclub in Las Vegas was dropped due to insufficient evidence.
However, 50 Cent may have to face some serious battery charges as the video from the incident is all over the internet. Additionally, the Instagram account, The Neighborhood Talk, also uploaded a photo of the fan with a bloody gash on her forehead.
