The hip hop mogul was also supported by fellow rapper Jeremih, who performed in a black and white checkered jacket as a pair of dancers gave him a raunchy lap dance.

It comes as 50 Cent was recently accused of battery during the American leg of the tour, after he hurled a microphone into the audience.

A now-viral TikTOk shows the In Da Club artist, who recently postponed his Arizona concert due to a heat wave, hurling a microphone with force offstage when the item wasn’t working.

In the clip, the star was handed a mic that didn’t work and was seen dropping it down impatiently on the side of stage. 

He later was given another mic that was also facing technical issues, prompting him to hurl the item away, hitting the fan. 

Since the incident, 50 Cent is now a suspect in a criminal battery report after the woman ‘filed a police report’ shortly after the concert, reported TMZ.

The Instagram account, The Neighborhood Talk, also uploaded a photo of the fan with a bloody gash on her forehead and claimed the victim was Power 106 host, Bryhana Monegain. 

Law enforcement informed the outlet that, ’50 threw the mic at his crew in the production area and hit the victim,’ and that the woman claimed to officers, ’50 looked directly at her before throwing the mic.’

After being struck by the microphone, the fan was taken to the hospital to treat a ‘laceration on her head.’

In photos obtained by TMZ, the victim could be seen with a deep cut on her forehead and showed that her head was wrapped with a bandage.

She also had cuts and bruises on her arm as well as the palm of her hand. 

Sources informed the outlet that 50 Cent ‘wasn’t targeting the woman, but still, he beaned her good.’ 

Another insider close to the rapper explained that the woman was in a restricted area near the stage which she ‘wasn’t supposed to be in.’ It’s unclear why the insider thought that claim would absolve 50.

The attorney for 50 Cent shared a statement with DailyMail.com claiming that his client did not ‘intentionally’ strike a woman at his recent concert stop in Los Angeles.

‘Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,’ said Scott Leeman, via a statement. 

‘Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed,’ he added.

The rapper’s Final Lap tour is slated to come to an end on December 14 in Auckland, New Zealand.
