In late August, while performing at the Starplex Pavilion in Dallas, Rae Sremmurd’s reigning hip-hop hook king, Swae Lee, was hit in the face when an overzealous fan threw her cell phone on stage at him. While the intent wasn’t malicious -- the fan just wanted him to take a selfie with her smart device -- her aim was off. The phone struck Swae in the face, busting open his lip, leaving him bloody and having to get stitches that night.
He was irate immediately in the aftermath.
“On my momma I’m finna sue you,” he said onstage after he got hit. “Why you throwing shit on the stage? You throwing shit like a muthafucka baseball.”
Recently however, at Rolling Loud in Oakland, Swae displayed a serious change of heart. After he and his brother Slim Jxmmi got off stage, Swae spoke exclusively to LiveXLive, revealing a new plan of action for the fan who struck him several weeks ago: no lawsuit.
“The hoes say I’m beautiful with the scar,” Swae bragged. “It all worked out perfectly. Shout out to the girl that threw that the phone at me. Matter of fact, I want to reach out to the girl that threw the phone at me. Matter of fact I wanna reach out to the girl. I think I scared her. I wanna apologize to her. I really want to invite her to like five shows for free. On me.”
Rae Sremmurd was a part of an all-star lineup that ignited the stage in the Bay. Young Thug, Lil Skies, Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa, E-40 and Travis Scott were just some of the names that gave frenzied performances. You can see more from Rolling Loud right here on LiveXLive.
