Cardi B Faces Lawsuit Over Microphone Incident at Las Vegas Concert

The lawsuit against Cardi B and Drai's Management Group LLC stems from an incident in July 2023, where a woman was hit by a microphone thrown by the performer during a concert in Las Vegas. The victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous due to mental health concerns and potential backlash, was attending the concert at Drai Beachclub and Nightclub. According to the lawsuit, Cardi B, in response to high temperatures, requested the audience to splash water on her. After several attendees complied, Cardi B allegedly threw her microphone in anger, hitting the victim and causing her physical and emotional distress.

The victim's lawsuit claims that the incident led to significant emotional and reputational harm, and that Cardi B's actions were reckless. It also asserts that Drai's Management Group failed in their duty to ensure the safety of the concertgoers. Although a police report was initially filed, the case was closed due to insufficient evidence. The lawsuit seeks at least $15,000 in general damages, along with special damages for medical expenses and emotional distress, as well as punitive damages and attorneys' fees. The incident drew further attention when the microphone was auctioned for $99,000, exacerbating the victim's distress. The lawsuit also notes a similar incident involving Cardi B the previous night, suggesting a pattern of behavior.
