The 50 Cent mic toss incident has continued to make waves throughout the industry, with the 911 dispatch call being released — and being nothing if not strange.
TMZ got their hands on the audio on Sunday (September 17), where the dispatcher seemed shocked that someone suffered what the caller said was “blunt force trauma” from a microphone.

After the dispatcher finishes laughing, he’s heard asking, “is she currently awake?” When it was confirmed that the victim was, indeed, conscious, the dispatcher asked, “who’s performing tonight?” After he’s told, he finally sends along some emergency services to help the victim.
Check out the strange call below.
According to a TMZ report on August 31, the woman who was hit – Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain – filed a police report on the night of the incident on Wednesday (August 30). Law enforcement sources told the outlet they believe 50 threw the mic at his crew in the production area and hit the victim.
Monegain reportedly told cops that 50 Cent looked directly at her before throwing the mic, so she believes the rapper knew she was there.
In a statement, 50’s lawyer Scott Leemon told the outlet: “Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis (AKA 50 Cent) would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.”
50 performed at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on August 30 as part of his Final Lap Tour. The Queens native grew frustrated at one point as he kept getting handed broken microphones.

In a video and series of photos captured by The Neighborhood Talk, the Queens, New York native could be seen growing agitated by the technical difficulties as YG performed on stage next to him.
On two separate occasions, 50 aggressively hurled the broken mics into the crowd – one of which hit the radio personality.

Fif’s longtime rival The Game was eager to comment on the situation upon hearing the news, taking to his Instagram Story to call his former label boss out. “Curtis yo fat ass came to LA hittin women,” he wrote with an inquisitive emoji.
In a more positive moment from the show, 50 Cent brought out Nas a special guest – much to the crowd’s delight.
