Steve Lacy Says He’s Not Sorry For Smashing Fan’s Disposable Camera On Stage
Steve Lacy doesn’t plan on apologizing after smashing a fan’s disposable camera onstage on Monday (Oct. 24) at a concert in New Orleans.
The “Bad Habit” artist headed to his Instagram on Tuesday (Oct. 25) to defend himself and his actions that quickly went viral on social media while he was headlining a show at the live music venue the Republic as part of his Give You the World tour.
Footage from the performance shows the 24-year-old chastising the crowd after an audience member tossed an object that hit his leg.
“Don’t throw no s— on my f— stage, please,” he says before asking fans on the concert floor, “Can I see this camera?”
Lacy was then handed a disposable camera by another concertgoer before throwing the device and ultimately smashing it.
“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,” Lacy wrote on Instagram.
Adding: “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. i 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,” he continued in his Instagram caption. “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.”
Lacy is headed to Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas, Washington, Oregon and California before his Give You the World tour wraps on Nov. 11 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
