Bryhana Monegain is suing 50 Cent, alleging that the rapper struck her in the face with a microphone during a concert. Legal documents obtained reveal that Monegain claims she was hit by the flying microphone, causing injuries to her face and wrist.
A video of the incident surfaced previously, showing 50 Cent throwing the mic into the crowd out of frustration with the sound system, although it didn't appear intentional.
"On or about August 30, 2023, [Bryhana] was lawfully on the [concert stage] and in the crowd watching Defendants G-Unit and [50 Cent's] performance when he realized his microphone was not working, and threw the microphone towards a crowed area, causing the microphone to strike [her] face and left wrist and resulting in severe and permanent injuries," the lawsuit states according to Rhe Blast.
"Immediately after the incident, she was transported by ambulance to the Los Angeles General Medical Center emergency department for treatment of injuries, including but not limited to, a concussion, laceration over her forehead, and pain in her left wrist. She complained of dizziness, headaches, light and sound sensitivity, and nausea."
Still suffering from emotional distress
Monegain was subsequently taken to a local hospital in Los Angeles for treatment. Despite an investigation by authorities, the D.A.'s Office did not pursue criminal charges against 50 Cent. Now, Monegain alleges she continues to suffer from severe injuries and emotional distress. Her attorneys, John Morgan and Casey Kilday, issued a statement regarding the lawsuit.
"Our client is pursuing a case against Curtis Jackson, professionally known as '50 Cent' and his touring company, G-UNIT Touring, for the assault she allegedly suffered through no fault of her own at his concert on August 30, 2023, at LA's Crypto.com Arena," it read.
"She was simply an attendee trying to enjoy herself when a heavy object came catapulting toward her face. No matter who the assailant is, this alleged act of negligence and violence is unacceptable, and we will hold 50 Cent and his co-defendants able for their alleged actions.
"Mr. Jackson has himself previously said that 'If the talk ain't [a]bout money, homie, I ain't concerned,' so we are confident our client will be fairly and justly compensated for the injuries she suffered."
