There’s nothing funny about throwing stuff on stage at performers, however people continuously do it at almost every festival. At Rolling Loud, the victim was DaBaby.

While this wasn’t right of the thrower, apparently DaBaby had been making homophobic comments on stage just moments before.

He played it cool, continuing to perform despite the minor tragedy slash embarrassment.
