Watch Steve Lacy Throw And Break A Fan's Camera

Steve Lacy is currently on tour across North America, touring his commercially successful album Gemini Rights.

The album's blow up came off the back of his TikTok and globally viral smash hit Bad Habit, which sat at number 1 on the Billboard Charts for two weeks.

At one stop on the tour, footage has emerged of a fan throwing a disposable camera at Steve on stage, hitting him while performing the smash hit. He went on to stop the show and call out the fan. He grabbed the camera back from them and proceeded to throw it on stage breaking it before storming off the stage. 

"Don't throw no shit on my f*cking stage," he said after the music paused. 

"Please. That's it, peace." After leaving the stage he then returned to complete the show for his fans.

In response to the incident he stated, "my shows been fun as hell! shoutout to the people not throwing disposable cameras at me and just coming to catch a vibe and connect :) i had a really good time in nola last night. i hate that the beauty of the connection i have with so many people in the crowd-gets lost when something negative happens.

"don’t believe i owe anyone an apology- maybe i couldve reacted better? sure. always. i’m a student of life. but i’m a real person with real feelings and real reactions. i’m not a product or a robot. i am human. i will continue to give my all at these shows. please come with respect for urself and others please thank you love u."

It's easy to throw Lacy under the bus in this scenario, but throwing projectiles at artists on stage is extremely dangerous for the artist. The stage is a space for them to feel comfortable to perform and interact with their biggest fans. High profile artists like Lacy deserve respect and the assurance that when they go on stage, they are safe. It's no surprise that any compromise of this might result in some anger.

Steve Lacy will tour Australia next month, performing at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Tuesday 22 November, Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday 23 November and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Sunday the 27th of November and Monday 28 November. Tickets to all shows will go on sale on Monday the 10th of October at 10am local time.

All his shows are currently sold out.

Steve Lacy returns to Australia off the back of his hit stacked album Gemini Rights which released in July. Almost entirely written, produced and played by Lacy, the record acted as an incredible leap forward for the artist, propelling him to global superstar status.
