Drake is the latest celebrity victim to have had something thrown at him while performing on stage.

Over the course of the last few weeks, singer Bebe Rexha required stitches after getting hit in the face by a phone while on stage, while Ava Max was slapped by a "fan", and country super Kelsea Ballerini also had something thrown at the mid-concert.

And during the opening night of Drake's It's All a Blur tour in Chicago on Wednesday, he was taken by surprise as a fan threw their phone at him.

The Canadian rapper was performing his own rendition of Ginuwine's song "So Anxious" when the incident took place.

Caught on video by another concertgoer, Drake was seen looking at the phone land on the floor after hitting him.

While he was momentarily caught off guard, he did not let the fan's shocking behaviour get in his way as he continued his performance.

This comes after a whole slew of female musicians in America were attacked by concertgoers last month who decided to assault them in unprovoked circumstances physically.

The first singer to endure a scary incident was Bebe, who was hit in the face with a phone after a "fan" lobbed it at her, leaving the singer with a nasty black eye and even needing stitches.

Next was Ava Max, who was slapped by a "fan" who got on stage and even scratched the inside of her eye. Then, while P!NK was performing in Hyde Park, London, somebody threw a bag of their mum's ashes on-stage in a bizarre incident.

And more recently, Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the face with a bracelet that was thrown on-stage during her HEARTFIRST Tour in the US.

Meanwhile, 33 year old Bebe has been taking no risks since sustaining a nasty black eye from the phone thrown on-stage in New York in June, with the starlet donning some protective glasses at her latest gig. Looking effortlessly cool in the pair of glasses, which were rimless and covered her eye area entirely, Bebe performed for her fans at Los Angeles' The Wiltern.

According to concertgoers, Bebe issued two rules for the night, with them being that they shouldn't throw things and they should have fun.

Drake is a supreme faggot that should go back to teen sitcoms. Maynard has had shit thrown at him for years and never cried about it.

"worrying trend"

And one of examples of the "trend" is being slapped instead of having something thrown at them.

This comes after a whole slew of female musicians in America were attacked by concertgoers last month who decided to assault them in unprovoked circumstances physically.

This sentence is great. Especially the last part implying that there may be circumstances where concertgoers might be properly provoked to physically attack the musician. Denying trans women are women maybe?

Still not as bad as that one woman on My Strange Addiction who was addicted to eating her husband's ashes.

 

[libRT]

Shit, they earn millions so they deserve a little danger.

 

[God of Nothing]

does this nigger really have a heart shaved on to his fade

 

[White Devil]

Fuck, I wish I could give a shit. Wake me up when they're throwing rocks or Molotovs or IEDs.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Only one solution for this.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

They'll use this sort of thing to put performers behind clear barriers, which will eventually make it easier to project images of dancers and even the star themselves onto the barrier material so shows can use fewer live performers.

Either that or the push for AI-only shows or no concerts except 'approved' ones like Glastonbury which are almost exclusively uber White and Privileged and where a ticket costs more than a harvested organ.

I swear some of the clowns throwing stuff at stages are paid to do it, in order to get 'going to a concert' cancelled by Globowokeo.

 

[Blacklight]

We need to go back to the old times. Where people threw bread at the Smashmouth head singer and he said "Stop throwing bread at me."

He bankrolled Top Boy's return. I just can't bring myself to hate him.

 

[glass_houses]

People generally don't throw things, other than fragrantly used underwear, at singers who are doing a decent job.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

You've never been in an airport in the last 2-3 years?

 

[CharlesBarkley]

gonna be interesting the day someone throws their fent pack on stage and causes Usher to go into a seizure lol

 

[Grub]

I dunno, I think Primus dealt with it best.

Shit, let's go back to the Globe Theater days, when they'd throw rotten tomatoes. Treat entertainers like they have been historically: lower than hookers.

 

[Miller]

Another anti-semetic hate crime.

 

[Dysnomia]

The guy that threw the phone at Bebe Rexha is really scary looking. That is a hard looking 27. I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a violent past. He looks like he beats people for fun. He's huge. People that do this and hurt someone should be banned from the venue.

These artists seem relatively tame and not likely to retaliate. But God forbid if we get another bottle incident. This one was pre-internet but blew up like crazy on MTV and the music mags. Imagine how much worse it would be now:

TL;DW, Sebastian (the Barbie doll looking singer) gets a bottle thrown at him. He gets pissed and the band segways into the very appropriately titled Piece Of Me. Sebastian starts yelling at who he thinks threw the bottle, throws the bottle into the crowd and then proceeds to jump off the stage and beat on the guy who he thinks threw it. It's not even the right guy. The band just keeps playing like nothing is happening. A girl was hit with the bottle and sustained serious injuries. with permanent scars and nerve damage.

So much for polite Canadians. By the way, Sebastian was fired from Skid Row several years later for being King Dick and impossible to deal with.

I'm just waiting for the day one of these phone throwers messes with the wrong artists and gets a major beatdown. Although I feel like many of today's artists are too manufactured, tame and good press dependent to allow themselves to lose it, it could still seriously happen. I kinda hope it does to teach these morons a lesson.

Drake needs more than a phone thrown at him if the rumors I heard are accurate.
