Rihanna hit a concert fan on the head with her microphone Tuesday night during a stop on her Diamonds World Tour at a venue in Birmingham, England.

The singer was performing ‘We Found Love’ as she made brief hand contact with a number of fans. One overzealous concert attendee grasped RiRi’s hand firmly and wouldn’t let go.

Without missing a beat, Rihanna smacked the fan in the face with her microphone before moving on to complete her set.

After the show she hit Twitter to emphatically state that her knee jerk reaction was intentional. She tweeted, “Purpose! That b— wouldn’t let me go.”

This mini-drama is par for the course for the Barbadian songstress. Police recently arrested a man on the roof of her Pacific Palisades home. Several months ago LAPD officers arrested another guy who broke into Rihanna’s home and slept in one of her beds.
