Despite this treacherous act, the Certified Lover Boy artist continued to sing his heart out. Drake performed while surrounded by floating sperms, aside from almost being struck by a flying phone. An image of sperm plays in the background while Drake performs one of his ballads, as shown in the clip. While delivering emotive lyrics, the sperm follows the “God’s Plan” artist around the stage. He also performed alongside a statue of the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh and walked down memory lane with a holographic version of himself.

After Being Hit By A Cell Phone While Performing, Drake Continues To Sing Ginuwine’s “So Anxious”
An audience member interrupts the rapper’s Drake live performance by tossing a phone on stage. Adele recently addressed a critical issue when she was performing live on stage. She highlighted her concern over fans throwing objects on stage, frequently resulting in hitting musicians. “I fucking dare you,” Adele said, daring her supporters not to hurl anything at her. Dare toss something at me, and I’ll fuck you up.” During the performance of his song of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious,” Canadian singer Drake was also confronted with a similar event when a phone was thrown at him. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, showcasing Drake attempting but finally failing to capture the object. He persevered, though, with his performance. Several musicians have been victimised by the regrettable habit of attacking artists with items. For example, during a performance, Bebe Rexha had a phone thrown at her face, resulting in the offender being captured and charged with assault. Similarly, Ava Max had an audience member rush to the stage and slap her, causing an eye injury.
Max vented her rage on Twitter, declaring that the aggressor would no longer be allowed at her shows. Kelsea Ballerini had a similar experience in Idaho when she was struck by an object. Following this disturbing incident, Ballerini advised her followers to prioritise their safety and report any unusual or uncomfortable situations. Drake entered the stage solo throughout the concert & captivated the audience with a stunning performance of 12 of his own songs. The event concluded with a strong rendition of Drake’s “Legend” from his 2015 mixtape “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.” Drake performed while accompanied by a light show of floating sperm, despite almost being hit by a flying phone. A backdrop of what appears to be sperm rotates in a cyclical motion while Drake delivers one of his ballads in the viral clip. As he delivers his words, the sperm appears to follow the “God’s Plan” artist throughout the stage. Drake also performed with a statue of late fashion designer Virgil Abloh and strolled down memory lane with a hologram version of his younger self.

That's not a fan that threw the phone. It's a hateful ,disrespectful person. The person should be taken in hand cuffs for assaulting Drake and indicted.
