The Event
It was a night that Bebe Rexha will never forget, for all the wrong reasons. The pop singer was performing at Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York as part of her “Best F’n Night of My Life” tour when a cellphone was thrown at her face. Footage from fans on social media clearly shows a phone colliding with the side of her face before the singer collapses to her knees in pain. Other footage shows crew members rushing onstage to help Rexha and escorting her into the wings.

Bebe Rexha’s Career
Rexha rose to fame working with David Guetta, G-Eazy and Iggy Azalea.

Other Incidents
This isn’t the first time Rexha has had to deal with an unfriendly response from the crowd. During an NFL game on Thanksgiving Day 2022, Rexha was booed by fans during a halftime performance.
