Singer Bebe Rexha Struck by Cell Phone During Performance
Popular singer Bebe Rexha had a shocking incident during her recent performance in New York City. She took to Instagram to share updates and photos of her injury with her fans.
In one of the pictures, Bebe’s eye is visibly swollen and bruised, with a cut just below her brow line. Another photo shows her giving a thumbs up, despite her dark purple bruised eye and a bandage.
Despite the incident, Bebe captioned the post simply, “I’m good.”
According to Billboard, the singer was rushed to the hospital after being hit in the head by a cell phone thrown by a fan during her performance at The Rooftop at Pier 17.
Videos of the incident started circulating on social media, showing the moment the phone hit Bebe’s face and her subsequent fall to the ground.

The New York Police Department has arrested a 27-year-old man named Nicolas Malvagna in connection with the incident. He has been charged with assault, harassment, aggravated harassment, and attempted assault, as reported by Rolling Stone.
According to Variety, the attacker claimed he threw the phone as a joke, thinking it would be funny to hit the singer.
Despite the incident, Bebe is still scheduled to perform at the Fillmore in Philadelphia on June 20 as part of her “Best F’n Night of My Life Tour,” which concludes in the United States on July 1 with two nights in Los Angeles.
In a similar incident, singer Harry Styles was hit in the eye with Skittles candy during a performance in November 2022. The incident prompted Skittles to take out a full-page ad urging fans not to throw candy at performers.
