The lawsuit said the device hit radio host Bryhana Monegain’s face and left wrist, resulting in ‘severe and permanent’ injuries.
A Los Angeles radio host wants 50 Cent to face the music, alleging in a lawsuit filed on Thursday that the “Candy Shop” rapper chucked a microphone at her head during a concert in August.
Bryhana Monegain, a midday host for hip-hop station Power 106 FM, filed her lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. At the centre of the complaint, reviewed by The LA Times, is an August 30, 2023, stop on 50 Cent’s Final Lap tour at downtown LA’s Crypto.com Arena.
Monegain alleges that 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) threw his microphone “towards a crowded area” after realising that it was not working during his performance. This caused “the microphone to strike plaintiff’s face and left wrist,” resulting in “severe and permanent” injuries, the complaint said.
After the incident, the lawsuit added, Monegain immediately received care at the Los Angeles General Medical Centre emergency department for injuries including a concussion, “laceration over her forehead” and pain in her left wrist.
Monegain, who also complained of “dizziness, headaches, light and sound sensitivity, and nausea,” alleges that she still suffers from her injuries and “emotional distress.
