Morgan Wallen sparked another viral moment during a concert in Pittsburgh after he was caught on video grabbing a cellphone from a security guard and throwing it across the stage mid-performance.

The incident took place Friday night at Acrisure Stadium. Footage shared online shows Wallen noticing the guard holding up a phone near the stage before suddenly taking the device and launching it away while continuing his set.

Fans who were reportedly at the show claimed the security guard was recording video for someone in the crowd rather than using the phone for personal reasons. Even so, Wallen appeared unhappy about the device being pointed in his direction.

The unexpected moment comes just a week after the country star made headlines for flipping a piano during a Denver concert following a technical glitch. Now, another onstage outburst has gone viral among fans.

The phone-throwing incident happened one day before Wallen's second scheduled Pittsburgh show was canceled due to weather concerns, a decision that drew backlash from some concertgoers.

With a piano and now a cellphone sent flying during recent performances, Wallen continues to generate buzz both on and off the stage.
