“Fans” suck so much because what do you mean Bebe Rexha had to go to the goddamn hospital and got stitches in her head because someone threw a phone at her and it hit her???? What the f***???’ said the fan.
It wasn’t immediately clear if, or for how long, the scary incident and resulting injury would sideline Rexha from her tour.
She has three upcoming dates scheduled for the week, including a June 20 date at The Fillmore in Philadelphia; June 21 at the Fillmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland; and June 23 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta.
