In a recent incident that has sparked controversy, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B is facing potential legal repercussions after an altercation during a performance at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas on July 29, 2023. The incident involved Cardi B throwing her microphone at a fan who had splashed her with a drink during her performance.
The Bronx rapper was mid-performance when a woman in the audience splashed her with a drink. Reacting swiftly, Cardi B retaliated by throwing her microphone at the woman. However, there are conflicting reports about who was actually hit by the microphone. Some eyewitnesses claim that the microphone hit a different person as the woman who splashed the drink managed to evade the throw.
A video of the incident, posted on Twitter, shows Cardi B appearing to curse at the woman who was subsequently apprehended by security. The tweet accompanying the video suggested that Cardi B might face a lawsuit for hitting the wrong person with the microphone, with the user stating, "I hope they lock her up for assault."
Another video, taken from a different angle, suggests that the woman who threw the drink may have done so accidentally and was seen apologizing to Cardi B after the incident. This video also suggests that the microphone may have hit another person standing next to the woman who threw the drink.
Social media users have been quick to comment on the incident, with some suggesting that Cardi B could face a lawsuit if it is proven that she hit the wrong person with the microphone. Others have defended the rapper, arguing that she was acting in self-defense.
As of now, Cardi B has not publicly addressed the incident. However, she did retweet a video of the altercation on her Twitter account. The incident has sparked a debate about the responsibilities of performers and the rights of fans at live performances.
