Bebe Rexha reportedly needed stitches above her left eye after being hit with a cellphone during a show Sunday night in New York.

But the pop star known for her “I’m good (Blue)” hit reassured fans Monday morning, posting to her official Instagram account with — what else? — “I’m good.”

According to the New York Daily News, a New Jersey man is accused of throwing the phone and was charged with felony assault.

Rexha, whose real name is Bleta Rexha, was singing and walking on the stage into the crowed when she was hit, according to video taken of the incident. She dropped to her knees after being struck.

She was escorted from the show by EMS to a local hospital, where she was treated, according to USA Today.
