During his concert in New York City, Drake couldn’t hide his annoyance when a fan threw a vape pen on stage. In a TikTok video shared on July 20, the rapper called out the fan, saying, “Did you throw a vape up here? Come on. Who threw this? There’s no way you’re taking life serious if you think I’m picking this vape up and vaping with you at the f—king Barclays Center. You got some real life evaluating to do throwing this f—king lemon mint vape up here.”
The venue, Barclays Center, later posted the video on their official social media page with a reminder that vaping is not allowed inside the arena.
This is not the first time Drake has faced objects being thrown at him during his All a Blur Tour. At the opening night in Chicago, a fan threw their phone at him. However, during a stop in Montreal, Canada, Drake revealed he doesn’t mind certain objects being hurled, specifically undergarments.
Other artists have also experienced similar incidents during their tours. Harry Styles got hit in the eye by an object during a performance in Vienna, Austria, and Taylor Swift was startled by bracelets being thrown at her during a recent Eras Tour concert.
Kelsea Ballerini had to leave the stage during her Heartfirst Tour after being hit with a bracelet thrown by a member of the audience at a show in Boise, Idaho. She later addressed the incident and emphasized the importance of safety at her concerts.
Similarly, Bebe Rexha was hit in the face with a cell phone during a performance in NYC. The perpetrator was arrested and charged with assault, claiming he was participating in a TikTok trend.
For artists like Drake and others, these incidents highlight the need for concertgoers to be considerate and respectful during live performances.
