Drake had to dodge a thrown being phone on stage during his concert this week.
The 36-year-old rapper kicked off his It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage at the United Center in Chicago last night, and he became the latest star after the likes of Bebe Rexha and Lil Nas X having issues with fans on stage.
At one point during Thursday’s gig, Drake was performing a rendition of Ginuwine’s song Anxious, a fan threw their phone at him on stage.
In a video posted by a fan on TikTok, he appears to try and catch the device, but misses and watches it fall to the ground.
Thankfully, he looked unharmed by the incident and continued with his performance unfazed.
Last month, a number of musicians across America were attacked by concertgoers in various ways.

First, Bebe Rexha was struck in the face after someone in the crowd threw their handset at her, leaving the Hearts Wants What It Wants singer with a black eye and stitches.
Singer Kelsea Ballerini suffered a similar incident during her show at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise, Idaho last Wednesday when a fan threw a bracelet on stage and it hit her in the face.
And most recently, Lil Nas X dodged a flying sex toy when performing at Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Sweden.

The 24-year-old star avoided getting hit by the X-rated object, and then walked over to pick up the projectile before he quipped: ‘Who threw their p**** on stage?
Artists have started speaking out to urged fans to stop the strange and dangerous trend of throwing things at performers, and Adele ‘dared’ her Las Vegas residency crowd to try their luck.
She told the crowd at her Weekends with Adele residency show at Ceasar’s Palace Hotel and Casino in Sin City she doesn’t approve of the trend.
She said: ‘Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting show etiquette at the moment, throwing (things) onstage? Have you seen it?
‘I dare you, dare you to throw something at me. Stop throwing things at the artist!’
