Transcript

00:00 Lil Wayne was supposed to join 50 Cent on stage but unfortunately he had to leave according

00:06 to reports from Leading Magazine.

00:08 The rap sensation who was in the building and was supposed to join 50 and was getting

00:12 ready for the performance was pushed out of the way by a backstage member, perhaps not

00:17 realizing who he was, which apparently angered him.

00:20 And when the time came to join in the club style, Lil was nowhere to be found.

00:24 He just stormed out, said a backstage source to Leading Magazine.

00:27 He was in the building for about 20 minutes total.

00:30 But the show was also in the news after 50 Cent threw a microphone into the crowd, which

00:35 hit a concert goer and left her injured, eventually leading to her hospitalization.

00:40 The reasons behind his actions appeared to be a malfunctioning microphone.

00:43 In his initial attempt, he hurled the microphone with relatively little force.

00:48 However, when the second microphone also proved to be non-functional, his frustration escalated,

00:53 leading him to launch it forcefully into the audience.

00:56 The person hit was identified as Brianna.

00:59 Photographs of her have circulated on social media, depicting her with a visible wound

01:04 on her forehead, and she can be seen with bloody towels wrapped around her neck.

01:11 Scott Leeman, an attorney for 50 Cent, said in a statement, as per Leading Magazine, "Let's

01:15 be very clear.

01:17 As I told LAPD, this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone

01:22 with a microphone.

01:24 Even saying something different doesn't have all the facts and is misinformed."
