Las Vegas: Cardi B Goes Viral After Throwing Mic at Fan Who Splashed Drink on Her
In a now-viral video surfacing on social media, Cardi B can be seen reacting swiftly when a rude fan throws a drink at her while performing on a Las Vegas stage, according to USA Today.
The incident occurred during her performance of her hit song "Bodak Yellow" at Drai's Beachclub.
In response to the attack, Cardi B angrily threw her microphone at the person throwing the drink.
Security personnel then intervened, retrieving her microphone and reportedly removing the fan from the venue.
The incident video quickly gained traction online, garnering 68 million views and counting. In response to the incident, the rapper retweeted another event video shared by a fan account.
Cardi B released her new song "Jealousy" on Friday, featuring a collaboration with her husband, Offset, who is a member of the popular hip-hop group Migos.
However, it is unfortunate that Cardi B, like many other artists, has also faced disruptive behavior from some audience members during live performances.
Cardi B Became the Latest Artist Attacked by a Fan
Recently, audience members throwing objects at performers have risen, with several notable cases, making Cardi B's Las Vegas incident the latest, per Entertainment Weekly.
One such instance involved pop singer Bebe Rexha, who was struck in the face with a cell phone by a man during a concert, leading to his arrest and assault charges.
Country artist Kelsea Ballerini also faced a similar situation less than two weeks later when she was hit by a projectile while performing.
During a live show, pop star Ava Max experienced an alarming incident when a concertgoer rushed onto the stage and slapped her.
Celebrities Lil Nas X and Drake also found themselves in unusual situations during their performances.
Lil Nas X noticed a thrown sex toy, while Drake encountered a chucked vape, drawing considerable attention in the media.
However, one of the most peculiar and bizarre incidents occurred in late June when a person threw their mother's ashes at Pink during one of her concerts.
The unexpected and deeply unusual act left the singer visibly taken aback, expressing uncertainty and discomfort, telling the audience, "I don't know how I feel about this."
Cardi B Throws Mic at DJ
The night before the tossed drink incident, Cardi B was performing at the same venue in Las Vegas when a video captured her frustration with the DJ for prematurely cutting off her songs.
A video showed the WAP rapper shouting her name before flinging the microphone towards the DJ, reminiscent of throwing a football, before exiting the stage.
Cardi B's throwing microphones has since ignited a frenzy among fans and on social media, Radar reports.
Many were taken aback by the rapper's swift reactions and the intensity of her behavior during the incidents.
Speculation has arisen among fans regarding the reasons behind her actions, with some attributing her behavior to technical difficulties during the performance or the pressures performers face on stage.
In response to the video, one fan supported Cardi B's actions, asserting that attendees should refrain from throwing objects at performers during their sets.
Another fan condemned the trend of targeting female artists during their shows, expressing hope for a shift in such behavior.
However, not all responses were in favor of the artist's actions.
One individual criticized her, mentioning past incidents of Cardi B engaging in altercations with fans on social media and seemingly doing the same during concerts, particularly that incident in Las Vegas.
