Bebe Rexha threatened legal action after audience members threw objects at her during a recent performance in Green Bay.
The 34-year-old singer had the offenders removed from the concert and warned the crowd that she wasn’t afraid to sue, per a shocking fan video making the rounds via TikTok on Monday.
She referenced a previous incident where she filed charges after being struck in the face with a cell phone onstage last year.
‘If you want to hit me in the face, I had them press charges to the other guy,’ Rexha said on stage. ‘I would love to become richer.’
The caption on the clip read: ‘Bebe Rexa had to stop her show TWICE tonight because of people throwing things on stage and in the audience, like 10 people were escorted out because of it throughout the show.’

In last year’s incident, Rexha received stitches after attendee Nicholas Malvagna pelted her with a cell phone at The Rooftop at Pier 17 during her Best F’n Night Of My Life tour.
Moments after the incident, Rexha dropped to her knees with her head bowed as several crew members hurried from the wings to help her.
Rexha was hospitalized and suffered ‘redness, swelling, bruising, and a laceration to her eye and substantial pain’ as result of being hit with the phone, according to police.
At the concert, fans immediately alerted security to Malvagna, who was then taken away by security.
A spokesman for the NYPD said: ‘On Sunday, June 18, 2023 at approximately 2200 hours, police were notified of an assault that occurred at the concert space of Pier 17 located at 89 South Street, within the confines of the 1st Precinct.
‘A preliminary investigation on scene determined that a 27-year-old male intentionally threw a cell phone at a 33-year-old female performer on stage, striking her about the face.
The statement continued: ‘The individual was taken into custody on scene and removed to the 1st Precinct for arrest processing. The aided female was removed by EMS to an area hospital in stable condition.’
Malvagna admitted to throwing the phone at Rexha, per a criminal complaint, explaining that he was ‘trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.’
At the time, Malvagna’s lawyer Todd A. Spodek told Dailymail.com: ‘As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa.’
Malvagna faced multiple charges, including two counts of third-degree assault, one count of second-degree harassment, one count of second-degree aggravated harassment, and one count of attempted third-degree assault.

Earlier this year, he accepted an offer to have his charges dismissed.
This agreement requires him to complete 40 days of community service and comply with an order of protection for six months.
The incident added to a growing list of unusual occurrences at live events over the past year or two.
Among these events were a fan hurling a bag of ashes onto the stage at a Pink concert and Harry Styles getting hit in the eye with Skittles during one of his shows.
