Harry Styles (29) was also hit in the eye when someone threw a handful of Skittel’s candy into his face.
Drake was also the victim of a cell phone being thrown; the smartphone hit him in the arm. Rapper Cardi B turned the tables. When someone in the audience threw a drink on her, she threw her microphone back.
