Cardi B throws microphone at concertgoer who tossed drink at her onstage
She did not Like It.
Cardi B hurled her microphone at an unruly concertgoer who launched a drink at the rapper during a performance in Las Vegas on Saturday, becoming the latest artist to have an object thrown at them while onstage.
The New York native had been performing “Bodak Yellow” at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas when a fan raised a white, decorated cup and tossed liquid in the 30-year-old rapper’s direction.
The rapper, at first startled and visibly in disbelief, transformed into a fastball-throwing southpaw and launched the microphone at the woman.
Security quickly intervened while Cardi B yelled from the stage before the microphone was returned to her and she resumed her show, according to a video shared on Cardi B’s social media page.
It is not immediately known if any charges were filed against the concertgoer.
The night before, the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus, had thrown a microphone at the DJ at Drai’s nightclub, after she kept getting cut off during her performance, according to a TikTok video.
