In the world of music, concerts are an opportunity for fans to connect with their favorite artists and enjoy an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, there are instances when the excitement of fans turns into thoughtless actions that can lead to unfortunate consequences. One such incident occurred during a recent concert featuring the talented singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha , leaving her with a head injury caused by a fan who threw a phone at her.
The Unfortunate Incident
It was a night filled with anticipation and energy as Bebe Rexha took the stage at Pier 17 in New York City. Little did she know that a single moment would change the course of the evening. In the midst of her performance, a fan named Nicolas Malvagna from New Jersey decided to throw his phone towards the stage, aiming it at the artist herself. The impact of the phone hitting Bebe Rexha’s head caused her to collapse in pain, ultimately requiring medical attention.
The Impact and Immediate Response
As the incident unfolded, concertgoers captured the shocking scene on their mobile phones, later sharing the videos on social media. In one video, we witness Bebe Rexha, in agony, falling to her knees and clutching her face after being struck by the phone. Security personnel quickly intervened, removing the individual responsible for the reckless act. The New York Police later confirmed that Nicolas Malvagna was charged with assault.
Bebe Rexha’s Recovery
Following the assault, Bebe Rexha was swiftly taken to a nearby hospital by emergency medical services (EMS). Her Instagram post, accompanied by a photo revealing her face with a black eye and stitches, reassured her fans of her condition with a simple yet powerful statement: “I’m good.” Despite the distressing incident, Bebe Rexha displayed her resilience and determination to recover from the incident swiftly.

“This is why banning throwing things on stage should be a thing, in my opinion.” Another user voiced their frustration, stating, “People need to stop throwing their phones on the stage! Celebs are not obligated to take pictures or videos with your phone!”
