Video shared online shows the object hitting Green while he was on stage, briefly stopping the performance. The moment caught both the singer and the audience off guard as the music paused and Green reacted to the impact.

According to reports from the concert, the phone hit him near the face or neck area. Security quickly stepped in and removed the person responsible from the crowd. Despite the disruption, Green chose to continue the show and returned to performing after the brief pause.
