Los Angeles police are looking into an incident in which the rapper 50 Cent threw a microphone during a show at Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night that may have injured a woman.
Scott Leemon, the attorney for 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, confirmed that he spoke to police and said in a statement that his client “would never intentionally strike anyone.”
“Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed,” Leemon said.
Video of the incident circulating online showed 50 Cent getting frustrated onstage after he was handed two microphones that appeared to have technical issues. He then hurls the second mic.
TMZ reported that the woman alleged 50 Cent saw her before he threw the microphone. The woman identified by TMZ declined to comment to NBC News on Thursday.
A media spokesperson for the police department said police units did not respond to the arena Wednesday night. The department did not have a statement about the matter and was unable to immediately provide a police report.
