Bebe Rexha OK after being hit in face on stage with phone

Pop star Bebe Rexha was hit in the face and injured by a cellphone hurled from the audience at a hometown show in New York City Sunday night, and a man was arrested, police said.

The Grammy Award-nominated, multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter was taken to a hospital after the phone hit her, police said. A bruise and a bandage were visible above her left eye in social media posts she made Monday.

“I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' all right,” she sang in a TikTok video, taking a line from “I'm Good (Blue),” her recent hit with DJ David Guetta.

Rexha, 33, was onstage at Pier 17, a rooftop venue in lower Manhattan, when the phone was thrown, police said. Video posted on social media showed the phone ricocheting off the artist's head, and then Rexha grabbing her face and sinking to her knees.

A 27-year-old New Jersey man was awaiting arraignment Monday after being arrested on an assault charge. There was no immediate information on whether he had a lawyer who could comment on the allegation.

A three-time Grammy nominee, Rexha is known for such hits as “I’m Good (Blue)”; “Meant to Be,” featuring country music duo Florida Georgia Line, and “I Got You.” Born and raised in Brooklyn, she was a songwriter for other artists before becoming a solo star.

“What I’m learning is that not everybody is going to connect with you and understand you, and that’s OK,” she told The Associated Press in April, shortly before the release of her latest album, “Bebe.”

“And I feel like you have to just be your realest, truest version of yourself because, at the end of the day, if you try to change yourself to be liked by other people, you’re not really being yourself,” she added.

She is next scheduled to perform in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
