Nicki Minaj stopped performing and took matters into her own hands after a fan at her show decided to throw something at the star during a recent concert.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened sadly. In fact, stars across the music industry have had to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge out of the way when fans decide to throw something at them on stage.
The latest person to suffer from irresponsible fans is Nicki Minaj and multiple clips have begun to circulate on social media.

During Minaj’s latest tour stop in Detroit, the star was in the middle of her performance before her quick reactions see her deflect an object thrown at her.
From the videos, it appears a fan threw a pink bracelet at the star - but the incident immediately got under the skin of the rapper.
Seconds later, Minaj picks up the object and hurls it right back in the direction of the person that threw it.
Social media users were left stunned by the whole incident and defended Minaj for her reaction.
“That’s so disrespectful. She should have stop the show and show everybody who did it,” one user wrote.
“[She threw it back] she should people don’t respect boundaries.., just enjoy the concert,” wrote another.
“Honestly Nikki, you’re real for that. I don’t know why fans don’t get it yet. We are not supposed to be throwing things on stage,” added another.
"Throwing something at someone for whatever reason is a form of disrespect. especially if you don't know them," a fourth wrote.
Other fans brought attention to the fact that Minaj decided to throw back the bracelet rather than the mic, which could have ended up injuring someone.
However, some users argued that the fan was attempting to go viral for her actions or even have a ‘Cardi B moment’, who threw a mic at a fan after a drink and ice was thrown at her last year.
There was a battery probe into the singer after this incident, but the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper didn't end up facing any charges and authorities had said no crime had been committed.
Speaking to TMZ, three lawyers told the outlet last year in August: “'This afternoon we were notified by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept., that as a result of their investigation, there will be NO charges against Cardi.”
UNILAD has contacted Nicki Minaj's representatives for comment.
