The Detroit stop of Nicki Minaj‘s record-breaking Pink Friday 2 Tour was full of surprises. Not only did the trendsetter bring out the city’s own Big Sean, she also found herself having an unwelcome exchange with an audience member.
At the Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night (April 20), an apparent bracelet of some sort was hurled at Minaj, nearly hitting her face while she performed “Starships.” The wrist piece landed on the stage, moving her to launch it back into the crowd.
Minaj could then be seen hula-hooping her microphone around her waist before finishing the song. Right before the clip cuts, she could be seen gesturing with her finger for the the bracelet bandit to come to her.

The incident aside, Monica performed, per usual, ahead of Big Sean taking the stage, where he performed “Bounce Back” and “IDFWU.” The “Dance” spitter also brought out special guest Sada Baby, who was joined by Minaj for their 2020 remix of “Whole Lotta Choppas.”
The 2023 trend of concert-goers throwing things at the very person they’re there to see, hopefully, isn’t on the brink of return. While some artists don’t mind traditional items like bras and underwear being thrown at them, others have gotten hurt by phones and more.
Cardi B performed at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas last year, where she found herself throwing a microphone at a woman who threw liquid at her. While performing her 2017 hit, “Bodak Yellow,” a woman could be seen in a video clip tossing her drink on Cardi before the Bronx native reacted.
During Rolling Loud Germany in 2023, Latto threatened an audience member who threw something at her.
While rapping her new single “Put It On Da Floor,” the Atlanta-native addressed the culprit, saying, “You’ll get your a** beat. Throw it again. Throw it again. I’ll beat your a**. Throw it again.”
Lil Nas X also had a bizarre item thrown at him in the same year while performing. Amid his set at Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Sweden, a vagina-molded sex toy was thrown at him as he sang his unreleased single, “Down Souf H*es” featuring Saucy Santana.
Wearing a blue ensemble, the “J Christ” rapper twerked before picking up the item off the floor and asking the crowd, “Who threw they pu**y onstage?”
Additionally, in October 2022, Steve Lacy reacted to a fan throwing a camera on stage while mid-song. At the time, the 24-year-old stopped singing and said, “Don’t throw sh*t on my fu**ing stage please!” The Gemini Rights artist then launched the camera at the floor. He walked off, ended his performance of “Bad Habits,” and said, “That’s it. Peace.”
Other stars who have had items thrown at them include Pink, who had human ashes tossed at her, and Bebe Rexha, who faced injury to her face by a phone.
