Many fans took to their timelines after the incident, saying it ruined their night. One fan posted a video with a caption that reads:

“This is Bebe Rexha being rushed out of the concert venue here in NYC after someone threw a f–king phone and hit her face as she was leaving the stage. We were all having a hell of a good time, and so was Bebe, we were all having a blast, I mean, who would even do that??? We hope you’re ok @BebeRexha.”

Another one said: “Anyone that has accidentally dropped their phone on their face knows how much that hurts, so imagine someone dashing a phone with force right at your face. I really hope Bebe Rexha is okay.”
