Swae Lee has decided not to sue the fan who threw a cell phone at him. The Rae Sremmurd member revealed his change of heart via Twitter on Monday (August 27).
“And I won’t be suing the fan , imma charge it to the game just be more careful,” he wrote. “I’m here to perform not dodgeball.”

The crowd got a little too hype during a stop on Wiz Khalifa and Rae Sremmurd’s Dazed & Blazed Tour.
While performing on Sunday (August 26) at the Starplex Pavilion in Dallas, Texas, Swae Lee was struck in his face by a cell phone thrown from the crowd as the duo performed “Powerglide.”
After the cell phone struck him, Swae immediately halted the show to scold the fan responsible for his bloody mouth. He discovered the culprit was a female fan after finding her personal ID stuffed inside the cell phone’s case.
He vowed to sue the fan for his busted lip and lost tooth.
“I’m finna sue yo’ ass,” he says in the clip. “On my momma I’m gonna sue your ass man … I swear to god I’m gonna sue your ass. You done broke my muthafuckin’ tooth bitch.”
Swae then asks the venue’s cameramen to zoom in on his face so the crowd could see the severity of his injury.
“You fucked up my face, bro!” he says. “You got me fucked up, man! Zoom in on my muthafuckin face, zoom in on my face, zoom in on my shit.”
Swae addressed the incident on Twitter later that night.
“My lip is fucked up this dumb ass girl through her phone onstage like a baseball,” he wrote. ‘Y’all gotta have more common sense than that my shit is fucked might miss a few days of tour.”
Despite his bloody mess, Swae ultimately decided the show must go on.
Afterward, Swae showed off the gash on his lip in an Instagram video. He again promised to file a lawsuit and revealed he’d received stitches in his lip and has one less tooth now.
“I’m heated bro,” the text across the video reads. “fan just through a phone on stage like a baseball. I’m suing on my life.”
Swae has dealt with multiple run-ins with fans this year.
Earlier this month, Swae called a female fan “ugly and misshapen” after she tweeted some unfavorable comments about his dressing room and personal looks. Plus, a male fan sued Rae Sremmurd last year after getting hit in the face with a bottle during one of their concerts in October 2016. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Sue that bitch if that was him she’d take his ass to the bank sue that tramp6
A girl splits his lip and his response is to “sue her”………lmaoooo. Real men are not a common thing these days, too many pussys.
Hm. Seems like being industry plants is harder than they thought !
This just in…ugly swamp rat Gae Lee from the group The Booty Pirates gets his lip split while doing a live show with his ugly swamp rap partner In Him.
Gae Lee plans to sue.
LMFAO at Swamp Rats…facts though, those dudes are hot garbage and ugly as all hell.
A law suit in this situation makes sense. He’s a performing artist. If he was a football player and some one cracked his ankle throwing things at him he’d sue and he’d have support. You don’t want him to sue why? Because you don’t like his music? I see a young black man chasing his dream and he has the right to sue her for that stupidity. It’s not like he can beat her ass or some dumb shit like that. This is a business and he should handle it that way.
What was that???
Young Black Man LMAO you just had to play the race card fam
That was literally a description of what I see when I see him. He’s a relatively young black male over the age of 18. I didn’t think a straight up description would be offensive or playing the race card. lol.
lol what a chump
This is America. She will turn around and sue him for damaging her phone with his face and/or public defamation.
Not suing sends a message that you can do anything to swae lee and he wond do shit about it.
