Lil Uzi Vert denies throwing cell phone at fan during performance
Over the weekend, Lil Uzi Vert performed at day 1 of the Wireless Festival, in London. He ended up going viral though, due to throwing a cell phone in the crowd. This resulted in a woman getting hit by the phone, and causing some bleeding to her head. Uzi threw the phone during his performance of his 2017 hit single “Money Longer.”
Now, a source close to this situation is now speaking on this situation, to The Shade Room. Fans were reportedly throwing phones on stage, which resulting in Uzi wanting to clear them, from the stage. They also shut down speculation that Uzi was targeting a specific fan.
“During Uzi’s set at Wireless Fest, fans threw multiple cellphones onto the stage and inadvertently struck him,” said the source to The Shade Room. “He merely attempted to clear the phones from the stage, avoid slipping and safely continue his performance — he never intentionally directed it at a specific individual.”
The woman also spoke about being hit by the phone, as she confirmed her injury, on TikTok. She says that the person who had his phone thrown, also got it back.
“So as some of you guys may know, there is a video of Lil Uzi Vert throwing a phone into the Wireless crowd 2022 on Friday. I am sadly that chick that got their head smashed in by the phone. There was someone else but I don’t want to mention him in case it is not permitted but yes there was some damaged caused but the guy got his phone back and everything is being dealt with.”
