Morgan Wallen is drawing renewed criticism over his conduct at live performances.

The 33-year-old country artist tossed a fan's phone across the stage on Friday, June 5, while performing at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Video footage from the show reveals Wallen approaching a security guard who held a phone reportedly belonging to an audience member. He then grabbed the device and hurled it across the stage.

"Well that just happened… Amy gave her phone to the lady to hand to Morgan Wallen and he launched it. I get it… security should be doing security things, but…." one TikTok user documented the moment.

The following day, on Saturday, June 6, Wallen made an eleventh-hour call to cancel that evening's Pittsburgh stop on his tour, citing weather concerns. He subsequently addressed the cancellation and the growing fan frustration surrounding it.

The incident marks another moment of controversy during his current tour run. Earlier, while performing "Sand In My Boots" in Denver, Wallen encountered problems with the piano accompaniment. After finishing the song without instrumental backing, he returned to the instrument and flipped it over on stage.

Wallen later commented on that incident with a sarcastic tone.
