50 Cent faces criminal battery charges for hurling microphone at fan

American rapper 50 Cent is now a suspect for criminal felony battery after throwing a microphone at a fan and splitting her forehead open during his performance.

According to Reports by TMZ, the artiste was performing at the Crypto.com arena in LA when he threw the microphone at the victim, who was sitting in the production area backstage. The microphone caused a laceration on her forehead, leaving her with a gruesome gash and needing stitches.

The rapper is said to have hurled multiple microphones during his performance out of frustration because they were all faulty. But the microphone that hit the victim, later identified as Bryhana Monegain, was aimed at the production crew, not her. Unfortunately, the force with which it was thrown hit her smack in the forehead, creating a hole.

In the video captured during the performance at his Final Lap tour, 50 Cent was seen walking onto the stage to join rapper YG then he chucked the mic when it was not working. The picture of the victim showed her the injury to her head and blood on her face while being checked by paramedics.

Fellow rapper Cardi B recently found herself in a similar pickle, after tossing a microphone at a fan during her performance at the beginning of August.

In her case, she asked the concertgoers to splash water on her because she was hot. For some reason, she took offense to a particular fan who splashed water on her and chucked the mic in her direction but it ricocheted off her and bounced onto someone else. One of those ladies ended up pressing charges against Cardi B but she didn’t face criminal charges because the police in Las Vegas dropped their investigation.

50 Cent has not spoken on his charges.

Abimbola Craig, the Nigerian actress, has revealed why she is not married at 38.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Craig said she believes “marriage is a scam”.

The actress critiqued traditional marital roles where women are often burdened with home management and catering to their partners, referring to the title “Mrs” as shorthand for “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.

She also clarified that her decision to remain single is not because she opposes marriage but because she values a partner with self-awareness or purpose.

“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’,” she said.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me.”

Craig is best known for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’. She has also made her mark as a producer, co-producing the 2019 box office hit ‘Sugar Rush’ alongside Jade Osiberu.

In an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Ninalowo said his initial failures ultimately led to his triumph in the entertainment industry.
