During the Chicago debut of his "It's All a Blur" tour, rapper Drake became the latest victim of a bizarre trend: fans throwing objects at performing artists. While singing Ginuwine's "So Anxious," a concertgoer hurled a cell phone, striking Drake's arm.

Although visibly surprised, Drake glanced at his arm and seamlessly continued his performance without addressing the incident. This unsettling event echoes similar occurrences involving artists like Bebe Rexha and Kelsea Ballerini, highlighting a growing concern about concert safety and fan behavior.

This incident follows recent admonishments from Adele, who forcefully warned her audience against throwing objects onstage, even humorously contrasting her actions of using a t-shirt gun to launch merchandise into the crowd.

Unlike Drake, Bebe Rexha faced more severe consequences when a cell phone struck her face during a New York City performance, leading to her hospitalization for stitches and the perpetrator's arrest.

Similarly, Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the eye by a bracelet during a recent concert, prompting her to temporarily leave the stage before returning to address the issue of fan safety and implore the audience for cooperation in maintaining a secure environment.
