The attorney for 50 Cent has shared a statement with DailyMail.com claiming that his client did not ‘intentionally’ strike a woman at his recent concert stop in Los Angeles.
‘Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,’ said Scott Leeman, via a statement.
‘Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed,’ he added.
The denial of intent to hit someone comes after the rapper is reportedly being investigated by police for battery after allegedly striking a radio host for Power 106, which left her with a gash on her forehead that poured blood out all over her face and clothing.
The hitmaker — real name: Curtis Jackson III — had reportedly thrown two separate microphones in the crowd at his LA show on Wednesday.
A now-viral TikTOk shows the In Da Club artist, who recently postponed his Arizona concert due to a heat wave, hurling a microphone with force offstage when the item wasn’t working.
In the clip, the star was handed a mic that didn’t work and was seen dropping it down impatiently on the side of stage.
He later was given another mic that was also facing technical issues, prompting him to hurl the item away, hitting the fan.
Since the incident, 50 Cent is now a suspect in a criminal battery report after the woman ‘filed a police report’ shortly after the concert, reported TMZ.
The Instagram account, The Neighborhood Talk, also uploaded a photo of the fan with a bloody gash on her forehead and claimed the victim was Power 106 host, Bryhana Monegain.
Law enforcement informed the outlet that, ’50 threw the mic at his crew in the production area and hit the victim,’ and that the woman claimed to officers, ’50 looked directly at her before throwing the mic.’
After being struck by the microphone, the fan was taken to the hospital to treat a ‘laceration on her head.’
