It is common for partygoers in recent times to attack performers unprovoked, but you better have a second thought if Cardi B is your performer because she will fight you back even more if need be.
The controversial rapper performed famously at two different locations during the weekend, and she did well to throw her microphone at two people at both events.
The first concert she tossed at her DJ, who constantly interrupted her performance at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas. Cardi again hurled her mic at an attendee who threw a drink at her live on stage. The video has generated an overwhelming discussion, with fans divided on what should be Cardi’s professional reaction to the attack. While some are blaming the fan for attacking Cardi, others, on the other hand, are blasting Cardi for being childish.
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.
The video of Cardi B’s mic throw has generated over 25 million views on Twitter as they threw their support behind the “I Like It” hitmaker.
“Now they know, of all celebs, to not try that with Cardi B. Cardi was locked in!!!!” one TikTok comment said.

“I need to see all angles. Lmaoooo she F’D around and found out,” another comment read.
“Love her lol that’s exactly how she should’ve responded,” a third wrote.
Cardi B is the latest performer to be struck on-stage over the past few months, where fellow musicians have been hit with phones, sex toys and human remains.
Last month, Bebe Rexha was hit by a phone during a NYC concert on June 18.
The Grammy-nominated singer was left with a black eye and stitches following the attack, while accused thrower Nicolas Malvagna was arrested for assault aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment.
Singer Pink was “mortified” when a fan threw their mother’s ashes on stage at the British Summer Time festival.
Earlier this month Lil Nas X had a sex toy thrown at him while performing a set at European Lollapalooza in Sweden.
While there are numerous instances of ruthless fans attacking celebrities, Cardi’s instance is controversial because she asked a particular fan to pour water on her in her pissy moment before the other fan poured the drink on her. So while she accepted the first person pouring water on her, it is confusing how the second person throwing a drink at her could outrage her so much. But it is Cardi, nothing makes sense with her anyway.
