Latto caught on camera threatening to ‘beat’ fan for throwing object at her onstage

Latto ain’t down with all the foolishness going on with audience members throwing objects at performers onstage during live shows.

The Grammy-nominated rapper, known for infectious songs such as “Big Energy” and “Bring it on da Floor Again,” sternly warned a fan to not make her the next artist hit by something onstage.

In new TikTok video footage, Latto addressed a fan directly about throwing an object onstage while she performed. “You want your a— beat? Throw it again! Throw it again!” she said into the microphone. “I’ll beat your a—. Throw it again!”

It’s unclear what exactly was thrown at her, but the Atlanta-raised lyricist is just the latest music act to experience the ongoing trend of projectile-throwing at concerts. And she’s not the first to challenge audience members for doing so.

Adele addressed the wave of fandemonium during a recent performance of her Las Vegas residency.

“Have you noticed how people are like forgetting f—ing show etiquette in America? They’re just throwing s— on stage,” the “Rolling in the Deep” singer said to the audience.

Holding up the T-shirt cannon, she continued: “[I] f—ing dare you. Dare you to throw something at me.”

Harry Styles, who had a bouquet of flowers thrown at him in June, was struck in the face by an unknown object while on tour in Vienna last weekend.

Other artists such as Bebe Rexha, Pink, Kelsea Ballerini, Lil Nas X and Drake have had things — including cellphones, jewelry, underwear, sex toys and even cremated remains — thrown at them in recent weeks.
