Puerto Rican artist Hades66 was attacked with a glass during his performance at a nightclub in Palma, suffering visible injuries and bleeding. The show was halted and the singer went into the crowd to search for the attacker.
Puerto Rican rapper Hades66, on tour in Spain to promote his latest album 'El Se66eis', experienced a violent episode during a concert at a nightclub in Palma. While performing one of his songs, a glass object struck his face, causing bleeding injuries and forcing an immediate stop to the show.
According to sources close to the artist, the glass shattered into a thousand pieces upon hitting his face, resulting in a visible cut. Hades66, visibly shaken, stepped down from the stage to try to locate the attacker among the audience, although he initially failed to do so.
Later, the singer himself posted several stories on his social media, specifically on Instagram, showing a group of people hitting a young man on the ground, accompanied by the message: 'Los 66 hpta, the real faltones'. In another video, with a plaster on his nose, he sent a direct message to the attacker: 'I'm in Mallorca, you idiot, slide into the DM to meet up, I was going to drag you across the stage and you ran away.'
The incident has generated a significant uproar in the island's music scene. Hades66 is part of the 'Money Way' movement, closely linked to street culture and with a history of disputes among groups in Puerto Rico. However, sources from the concert's organisation claim there were no prior threats or any altercations before the incident.
The local police in Palma, as confirmed by municipal sources, have not received a formal complaint from the artist or his team. Nevertheless, officers have opened an informational investigation to clarify what happened and determine if there was any criminal offence. The attacker, who managed to flee the venue after the altercation, could face charges for assault if a complaint is filed.
The concert was part of a series of performances that the rapper had planned in various locations across Spain during the summer. The nightclub where the incident occurred, located in Palma's nightlife area, has chosen not to make public statements about what happened, although internal sources indicate that security measures will be reviewed for future events.
The incident has reopened the debate about safety at concerts and artists' responses to assaults. While some of the singer's followers applaud his attitude of 'defending his honour', others criticise him for taking justice into his own hands. The Balearic prosecutor's office, consulted on the matter, reminds that anyone who suffers an assault should report it to the authorities and not act on their own, as this could lead to a charge of assault.
Hades66, who remains in Mallorca completing his tour, has not announced whether he will cancel or postpone his upcoming concerts. His team has declined to make further comments. The news has spread rapidly on social media, where videos of the altercation have gone viral, accumulating thousands of views on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
For concert attendees, the night ended abruptly. Many of them, who had paid to see the artist, expressed disappointment at the show's cancellation. Some witnesses reported on social media that the atmosphere quickly became tense and that the venue's security intervened to disperse the crowd.
From the Palma City Council, municipal sources have indicated that an investigation will be conducted to determine if the nightclub complied with all required safety measures, especially regarding the sale of drinks in glass containers. Municipal regulations in nightlife venues recommend the use of plastic or polycarbonate cups to avoid such incidents, but this is not mandatory in all cases.
This is not the first violent incident at a concert in Mallorca in recent months. Last summer, another artist suffered a similar assault at a venue in the Magaluf area, although in that case, the attacker was identified and arrested by the police. The recurrence of these episodes is concerning to event organisers, who are calling for more checks at entry points.
For now, Hades66 continues his tour with uncertainty about whether the attacker will be located and whether the artist will ultimately decide to file a complaint. Meanwhile, his followers on the island hope that the singer can offer a new date to compensate for the disrupted concert.
