Bebe Rexha has had quite the week – after threatening to ‘bring down a chunk’ of the music industry, she was pelted with objects while performing on stage in Norway.
The I’m Good (Blue) singer, 34, said she was ‘frustrated’ with the music business in a series of posts on Twitter, just days before this latest onstage chaos.
This isn’t the first time she’s had objects thrown at her while performing for a crowd. She was left with a black eye after being struck in the face by a fan’s phone during a show in June 2023.
Earlier this year she was on the wrong end of another incident that saw several fans launching objects towards her, forcing her to throw 10 people out of the gig.
Barely a month has passed since the last episode, but Bebe, whose real name is Bleta Rexha, has already had to warn more fans about their conduct at her shows.
A video circulating on social media has captured the moment when Bebe responded to the actions of the crowd, threatening them with expulsion and legal action.
She told the audience: ‘If you hit me with something on stage, I’ll take you for everything you’ve f**king got. Do not f**king play with me right now.’
The video then cuts ahead in time and shows Bebe searching for the person in the crowd who is alleged to have thrown an unknown object towards the singer.
‘Which one? Which one?’ she shouts into the microphone, asking her fans to identify the culprit. ‘Point to the person. I want to see him.’
When the alleged assailant is identified by her fans, Bebe then ends their night as soon as possible, ordering them to leave: ‘Out. Get the f**k out. That’s it. It’s done for you.’
And it’s not just Bebe Rexha who seems to be having to deal with fans throwing objects at her on stage, with numerous stars also dealing with this bizarre behaviour in recent months.
Current singer for Queen, Adam Lambert, was hit by a giant sex toy, while Old Town Road hitmaker Lil Nas X was also hit by a similar object in 2023.
During a concert by singer Pink, a wheel of brie cheese was placed on the stage in front of her, while another fan gave the Family Portrait singer a zip-lock bag containing ashes.
The incident in Norway marked a turbulent week for Bebe, who started it with a series of frustrated tweets, saying she has been silenced for trying to speak up about things she has seen.
‘I could bring down a big chunk of this industry. I am frustrated. I Have been undermined,’ Bebe wrote. ‘I’ve been so quiet for the longest time.’
She continued: ‘I haven’t seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been so obvious.’
‘And when I have spoken up I’ve been silenced and punished by this industry. Things must change or I’m telling all of my truths. The good the bad and the ugly.’
‘This is not just coming from a place of anger. It’s sadness. I’m sitting in my hotel room in London crying my eyes out. I’ve felt hopeless for the longest time.’
So far, no further statements have been made.
