Cardi B Throws Microphone At A Fan Who Pelted Her With A Drink On-Stage

What happened

Cardi B threw a microphone at a fan who showered her with a drink of some kind while Cardi was performing on stage in Vegas on July 30, 2023.

In a now-viral video, Cardi is performing her hit “Bodak Yellow” and can be seen looking surprised when a drink is thrown in her direction. In response, Cardi threw her microphone at the front-row attendee, who security seemingly escorted away.

After the incident, Cardi retweeted a video that showed the incident in a more clear view. She seemingly continued with the performance afterward.

Cardi B: Battery suspect

Cardi B may actually face consequences for throwing her microphone back at a fan who showered her with water. According to TMZ, Cardi is now listed as a “battery suspect”. According to the tabloid: “The woman who was struck by Cardi’s mic when she hurled it into the crowd at Drai’s Nightclub on Saturday … went to Las Vegas Metro PD the next day to report the incident,” the site reported. “She told police she’d been struck by an item — the microphone — thrown from the stage. Of course, the whole incident was captured on cameras during Cardi’s show.”

Splash me down

A second clip of the viral incident provides more context, with Cardi asking the crowd to give her some water given the soaring temperatures in Vegas. “Give me some water,” the rapper told crew members, as her DJ instructed the crowd to “splash her down.” She then asked—though it’s unclear whether she meant the crowd or her crew—”Splash me down,” and fans obliged, throwing water toward the performer. “That s—t feel good. Put that s—t in my p—y, bitch. Come on.” Another clip on social media taken at the end of the show showed Cardi explaining the incident. “I don’t wanna look that ghetto, bitch. I said splash my p—y, not my face, bitch.”
