A shocking situation appears to have transpired during 50 Cent’s last Los Angeles show, during which the rapper not only became involved in a physical brawl but also had his planned guest, Lil Wayne, depart the stadium without notice. The evening at the Crypto.com Arena took a bizarre turn, as per reports, leaving fans and observers perplexed. According to Page Six, Lil Wayne, who was scheduled to join 50 Cent onstage for a performance, chose to cancel at the last minute due to a backstage altercation. Witnesses said that as Wayne was about to make his appearance, he abruptly left the venue following what appeared to be a disagreement with a member of the 50’s tour staff.
While Lil Wayne’s absence angered fans, another occurrence during the show grabbed the spotlight. Social media videos showed the moment 50 Cent tossed a microphone that appeared to be malfunctioning towards a group of people at the stage’s side. According to TMZ, the microphone struck Power 106 radio anchor Bryhana Monegain, causing a significant cut on her forehead. Surprisingly, photographs showed Monegain being taken to the hospital in an ambulance and being treated with her head wrapped. Despite the chaos that occurred throughout the night, 50 Cent continued to perform with the help of other guest artists such as Nas, YG, & Chris Brown.

It appears that Lil Wayne was more than a little irritated the other night. According to Page Six, the rap icon was meant to be a special guest at 50 Cent’s event in Los Angeles but walked out before taking the stage. He was meant to join the “In Da Club” star as one of the evening’s surprise performers at the Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night, according to our sources. (This is the same show where Fiddy smacked a bystander on the head with a flying microphone.) However, sources say that while Wayne was getting ready to walk onstage, a member of the backstage tour crew pushed the “Lollipop” rapper out of the way, possibly unaware of who he was, which irritated him. Wayne was nowhere to be located when it came time to join the “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” singer on stage. “He just stormed out,” a backstage source stated. “He was only in the building for about 20 minutes in total.” Fortunately, fans attending Fiddy’s “Final Lap” tour got to watch him perform with Nas, YG, Chris Brown, and Tyga, among others.
Although Lil Wayne’s absence angered fans, an additional incident during the show grabbed the spotlight. Social media videos showed the moment 50 Cent tossed a microphone that seemed to be malfunctioning towards a group of people at the stage’s side. Fiddy tossed one of the mics, inadvertently hitting a radio host on the forehead. It left a terrible cut, and the rapper was charged with violence after she reported it to the cops. “Please be clear, I told LAPD this afternoon, that Curtis would never intentionally hit anyone with a microphone,” Scott Leemon, his attorney, told Page Six on Thursday. Despite the chaos that occurred throughout the night, 50 Cent kept on performing with the help of other guest artists such as Nas, YG, and Chris Brown. While the microphone incident caused worries, 50 Cent’s lawyer, Scott Leemon, stated that his client was not attempting to damage anyone & was cooperating with authorities.
