50 Cent went off on one during a concert this week and hurled his microphone into the crowd.

The rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - was out on stage performing at at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last night (30 August).

But while the fans were loving Fiddy's set, there were a few teething problems, as there often are with live entertainment.

And it's safe to say the 'Candy Shop' singer did not take the hiccups in his stride.

At one point, he started having some issues with his microphone and had to get it replaced multiple times.

However, after yet another one failed to work properly, he launched it into the crowd, reportedly smacking one fan right on the noggin.

In footage shared on TikTok by @polyboy.steezy, Mr Cent can be seen swapping up his mics, before getting very angry.

He then turns to the audience, who are only a few meters away, and throws the mic right into the mix.

Posting the clip, @polyboy.steezy wrote: "50 cent bust female with Mic at his concert."

It turned out that the person he reportedly injured with the outburst was Power 106 radio presenter, Bryhana Monegain.

Photos posted online show the host with a pretty severe gash to her forehead.

The video has been watched thousands of times since it went up, with people outraged by 50's actions.

One user said: "The look on his face, he knew he f**ked up lol."

Another commented: "He threw that mic better than the first pitch at the mets stadium."

"Cancel that dinosaur," put a third.

UNILAD has contacted 50 Cent's reps for comment.

Cent's actions come just a few weeks after Cardi B did the same thing, launching her mic at someone in the crowd during her Las Vegas concert.

The rapper went viral after footage showed her toss the device with the precision of an NFL quarterback when they threw a drink on her.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department released a statement to Variety that said: "On July 30, 2023, an individual came into an LVMPD police station to report a battery.

“According to the victim, she was attending an event on July 29, 2023, at a property located in the 3500 block of Las Vegas Boulevard.

"During a concert, she was struck by an item that was thrown from the stage.”

The outlet says it's unclear whether the person who reported the incident was the one seen in the video or if it was someone else who was also hit by the microphone.

Eventually, it was determined that no one would be charged for the incident.
