Ari Lennoxwill not put up with concertgoers throwing objects onstage.
On Wednesday night, a fan threw a water bottle in her direction as she was opening for Rod Wave at the Forum in Inglewood, California. The bottle only slightly missed her — and she immediately stopped singing to find out who the culprit was.
“Who did it? Who the f— did it? I don’t play that s—. I’m a real-ass bitch, and I will f— your s— all the way the f— up.”
She concluded, “Don’t you ever disrespect a beautiful Black woman on the f—ing stage like that.”

According tofan-captured footageonsocial media, the “Cruel Summer” singer, 33,took a moment to speak out about the issueimmediately after someone in the crowd tossed a gift on the stage in Buenos Aires.
“And just because communication means having gentle, healthy boundaries — it really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage,” Swift said while sitting behind the piano during theEvermoreportion of her career-spanning set.
“Because if it’s on the stage then a dancer can trip on it,” she said in a calm, thoughtful tone, expressing her concern. “I love that you brought presents, and that is so nice, but just can you please not throw them on the stage?”
“I love you so much,” the singer-songwriter added to her loyal Swifties before resuming the performance.
