Since shows have returned, an unfortunate trend of hucking items at performing artists has permeated across the live music scene. The latest victim of this phenomenon is Steve Lacy, who walked off stage at a New Orleans concert after smashing a fan's disposable camera.
Multiple TikToks of the incident show Lacy stopping his performance of "Bad Habit" after a camera was thrown at him, yelling, "Don't throw no shit on my fucking stage please!" He is then seen asking a fan if he can see their camera, then smashes it on stage and says, "That's it. Peace," before walking off. Eventually, Lacy came back and told the crowd that the culprit is still "worthy of love, even if she did something really dumb."
This brings us to yesterday (October 25), when Lacy took to Instagram to admit that he could've reacted differently, though he doesn't feel the need to apologize:
my shows been fun as hell! shoutout to the people not throwing disposable cameras at me and just coming to catch a vibe and connect :) i had a really good time in nola last night. i hate that the beauty of the connection i have with so many people in the crowd-gets lost when something negative happens. i don't believe i owe anyone an apology- maybe i couldve reacted better? sure. always. i'm a student of life. but i'm a real person with real feelings and real reactions. i'm not a product or a robot. i am human. i will continue to give my all at these shows. please come with respect for urself and others please thank you love u đź’“
Despite how potentially dangerous throwing things on stage can be, incidents like this are ramping up. Harry Styles has been pelted with chicken nuggets and a water bottle — the latter of which hit him in the nuts — while Lady Gaga got hit in the head with a doll in Toronto over the summer.
