As reported by People in August 2023, Drake responded on the insensitive behavior of a concertgoer during his It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage. An audience member tossed a copy of Titles Ruin Everything at the rapper in the middle of his performance. Fortunately, he caught the book and responded to the person who threw it. He said-
“You’re lucky I’m quick. I would’ve had to beat your ass if that hit me in the face.”
The God’s Plan singer was hit with an undergarment during his live performance in 2023. While addressing the audience during his concert in Montreal, Canada, the rapper mentioned –
“I would just like to say, before I go onto this next song, this is the first stage where I don’t have no bras, and I’m deeply disappointed. But don’t start throwing shoes and phones and s—. If you got a bra, though, just let me know that I still got it ’cause I feel like I might be having a bad show or something.”
Prominent music stars like Pink, Kelsea Ballerini, Harry Styles, and Kid Cudi have been subjected to the senseless behavior of the audience in the middle of their performance. Baby Rexha required stitches after she was struck by a phone during her live performance in 2023.
