Latto took immediate action after becoming the latest victim of unruly concert etiquette. During one of her recent festival appearances in Germany, the Atlanta-bred rapper stood her ground after someone threw an object on stage while she was performing “Put It On Da Floor.”
“Want your ass beat? Throw it again,” Latto threatened into the mic. “Throw it again, I’ma beat your ass,” she repeated in a sing-songy tone that perfectly matched up with her track’s racy beat. She kept on performing, twerking through the song’s chorus line, and continued her performance with undeniable elevated energy.
The confrontation was caught via a fan-captured video that’s made the rounds online for Latto’s comedic approach to the dangerous trend that’s placed a target on pop stars in the last few months. Bebe Rexha was hit in the eye with a cell phone during her New York City tour stop in June, leaving her with a black eye. NYPD arrested a 27-year-old male who admitted to intentionally throwing the phone at Rexha. He was charged with assault. Most recently, stars like Drake, Harry Styles and Kelsea Ballerini have also been hit by flying objects.
Latto’s response has been the most heated confrontation we’ve seen thus far but Adele was also quick to take preventative measures during a recent show for her Las Vegas residency.
“Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting fucking show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing shit on stage, have you seen them?” Adele asked the crowd while waving a T-shirt gun. “I fucking dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll fucking kill you,” she joked.
