Content Warning
Vietnamese American singer-songwriter keshi reacted to having an item thrown at him while he was performing on stage.
Keshi performed the last concert of his 2022 North American and European headlining tour, HELL/HEAVEN, in Honolulu, Hawaii, at The Republik on December 18.
While keshi was excited to perform his last concert of 2022, there was a turn of events.
A bracelet was thrown on stage, hitting keshi and causing him to fall. It resulted in him getting hurt and bleeding. Naturally, keshi was upset and lashed out at the one responsible since it not only physically hurt him but delayed the remainder of the show. Both he and the rest of the crowd kept telling the person in question to leave.
What the f*ck is your f*cking problem? Why the f*ck did you throw something? I don’t f*cking understand. Get the f*ck outta here, dude. This is the last f*cking show. …What the f*ck? Now, I have to go back, check on my f*cking eye…

Videos from the moment went viral across social media as keshi’s fans also voiced their anger over the situation. Some even trended #keshideservesbetter. The OP (Original Poster) of the viral TikTok video has since taken down the video.

A few hours later, keshi updated his social media again. While he reiterated to fans to stop throwing items on stage at artists, he reassured the fan that threw the bracelet that they were “all good” now. Keshi encouraged everyone else to “leave him alone.”

What happened to keshi was horrible. It surely is a much-needed reminder to all fandoms of the dangers of throwing things on stage at artists. If you would like to give a gift to an artist, there are many other ways.
Yet, there is another issue besides that. When keshi was hit, everyone was quick to find the guilty party and have them face the consequences of their actions.
• keshi then proceeded to get angry and called out the AREA where the object was thrown (still unknown at this point)
• security asked who did it and keshi didn't know, but he saw that people were singling out a particular person so he pointed to the area

When it should have ended with security escorting the person out, it didn’t. Someone doxxed the person, airdropping their personal Instagram to everyone in the venue. Many suspect this was done by someone they had been with, a “friend.”
• lots of people (me included) started posting angry tweets and ig stories about the situation
• during intermission someone airdropped the person's personal ig to the venue
• the person was apparently a hs student and it was revealed he threw a bracelet

It was revealed that the person who threw the bracelet was only a high schooler (around 15 years old), a minor. But since his social media was revealed, the high schooler has been receiving threats and even been subject to further humiliation as a photo of their arrest at keshi’s concert has circulated online.
• the student is has been receiving unwarranted threats and has a picture of them getting arrested at the concert being circulated due to the situation

So, once keshi realized the whole situation and what had been happening to the student, he posted an additional post, attempting to help them. Despite keshi’s post, people are still coming for the minor.
finishes the show. HE SAYS ON SNS TO NOT HARASS THE STUDENT AND JOKES ABOUT THE SITUATION. people are still getting upset and sending threats to the student and circulating an unwanted image of them online.

thrown at him. it wasn't revealed until later that the person was a hs student who threw a bracelet (with no harmful intentions.) post-concert it seems keshi was also informed about the student's age and intentions and posted on social media that there are no hard feelings. he

says to leave the student alone and even makes a light joke about the situation because he’s aware of the person’s age. keshi forgives the person. there’s no reason to send hate or threats to the student or to continue to embarrass them.
— miles morales fan (@shabusira) December 19, 2022
Two wrongs never make a right. Keshi was the person who got hurt in the first place, and he already said it’s “all good” now. There should be no reason ever to send death threats to another person, especially not a minor.
