50 Cent has managed to evade legal repercussions following an incident where he tossed a microphone off the stage, allegedly hitting a concert attendee, according to reports.

During the Crypto.com Arena performance in August, fans recorded videos showing the 48-year-old rapper throwing two malfunctioning microphones towards the crew located close to the audience. Although the footage did not reveal the exact landing spots of the microphones, images subsequently emerged featuring the claimed victim, Bryhana Monegain, a radio host from POWER 106.

Following the incident, Monegain sustained numerous lacerations to the head and face, prompting her to file a police report. Subsequently, the case was elevated to a felony and presented to the L.A. County District Attorney. However, the District Attorney's office forwarded the case to the L.A. City Attorney's office..


As of now, the rapper faces no criminal charges, according to information provided by the City Attorney's office to TMZ. Despite the current status of the case, it will remain active for a year following the August 30 incident. There's still a chance that 50 Cent may face criminal charges if any additional incidents occur between the rapper and Bryhana.

While on stage, the artist known for "In da Club" allegedly received a malfunctioning microphone during rapper YG's performance. He discarded the first mic towards the left side of the stage.

Subsequently, he was given another faulty microphone. This time, he threw the second mic off stage with what seemed to be a stronger force and a greater distance from the edge compared to the first microphone.

According to a witness interviewed by ET, the concert experienced a two-hour delay at the start. Busta Rhymes addressed the technical issues an hour into the delay, citing problems with the non-functional screen. Surprisingly, the audience didn't appear bothered when the performance eventually commenced.

Cardi B similarly grabbed attention when, during a performance at Drai's Nightclub in Las Vegas last month, a concertgoer doused her with water. In a fan-captured video, she retaliated by tossing her microphone into the crowd. Security promptly removed the person, allowing the show to proceed. Following the incident's viral spread, Cardi found herself named as a suspect in a battery investigation.
