50 Cent's lawyer has said the rapper "would never intentionally strike anyone" after he appeared to hit a concertgoer with a microphone during a show in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Videos circulating on social media show the "In Da Club" rapper hurling what appears to be a defective microphone at a group of people to the side of the stage at the Crypto.com Arena.

TMZ reported Thursday that the microphone struck Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain.

Insider was not able to independently verify TMZ's report, and a representative for Monegain did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ they believe 50 intended to throw the microphone at his crew situated in the production area, and inadvertently hit the concertgoer.

50's attorney, Scott Leemon, told TMZ that his client "would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone."

"Anyone saying something different doesn't have all the facts and is misinformed," said Leemon.

In photos obtained by the outlet, Monegain can be seen with a nasty cut on the center of her forehead.

Videos shared by TMZ also show Monegain being taken to hospital in an ambulance, as well as in hospital, with her head wrapped in bandages.

"It hurts so bad," Monegain can be heard saying in one video.
