American rapper Curtis James Jackson III, commonly known by his stage name 50 Cent, hurled a microphone into the crowd, striking a female fan on the head during his concert. As a result, he now faces potential criminal charges, as reported by TMZ.
The incident occurred in Los Angeles during his tour, "The Final Lap 2023." Amid his performance, the rapper was handed several malfunctioning microphones by his assistants.
