Cardi B Sued Over Microphone Throwing Incident

Cardi B has been sued over an incident in 2023 where she threw a microphone into a crowd.
The rapper had been accused of assault and battery by an anonymous woman who claims she was hit with the microphone during Cardi's performance in Las Vegas a couple of years ago.


Cardi is yet to comment on the lawsuit.
There is video footage of Cardi launching the microphone into the crowd and she was investigated by Las Vegas police but ultimately no charges were filed.
It is not known if the person filing the lawsuit is the same person who made the criminal complaint.
In clips of the incident, a fan appears to launch their drink at the "Bodak Yellow" star prompting the rapper to angrily launch her microphone into the crowd at the offender, but it's unclear whether she hit the person who threw the drink on stage.


Cardi B appeared to mouth "jealous-ass bitch!" as the suspected culprit was escorted off the premises. She was later handed the mic back and resumed her performance.



According to TMZ, however, the drink was thrown after Cardi had asked the crowd to "splash" her "pussy" with water.
Additional footage of the incident showed Cardi urging fans to throw water on her in between songs as the temperature that day reportedly hit 105 Fahrenheit.
The microphone in question was later sold for $100,000 at auction with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas.


Cardi later addressed the incident during an interview on The Breakfast Club.
"It was a really quick reaction," she explained. "And let me tell you - I didn't want to address it, because I thought a bitch gon' go to jail. But I'm not.
"Let me tell you something: it was hot as fuck. That Vegas heat ain't no joke. That shit was hot. It was hotter than a muthafucka; so there was a part of the show where I told people, like, you know, 'Splash me.'"
She continued: "But even when I told them, 'Splash me,' I was like, 'Be careful with the face. Because the face is beat, bitch.' So, fucking four songs after - nobody had splashed me, I told y'all to splash me for one little second. So four songs after, which is, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes after, this bitch threw water and ice on my face. So I just automatically reacted.
