50 Cent's attorney responds to the incident
50 Cent's attorney had recently responded to the mic incident. He shared a statement with ET in which he said:
"Let's be very clear; as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn't have all the facts and is misinformed."

Another eyewitness said that Cent was unhappy since his mic was having problems. The eyewitness further stated that the first mic was not working at all, and Cent hurled it at a technician.
