Rapper Sued After Throwing Mic Off Stage
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 25 – The lawsuit claims Cardi B caused physical and emotional harm by throwing a microphone after a fan splashed her, with the mic auctioned for nearly $100,000, escalating the dispute.
- In July 2023, Cardi B performed at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas where she threw her microphone at a fan after water was splashed on her face.
- The incident followed Cardi's request for fans to splash water due to hot weather, which led to a viral video and legal claims of assault and battery.
- An Ohio woman filed a lawsuit alleging the microphone caused physical injury and emotional distress, while Cardi’s lawyer called the suit a financial shakedown.
- The microphone was sold at auction for close to $99,000, with the funds benefiting two charitable organizations: a veterans support group and a community service group based in Las Vegas.
- The police and district attorney closed the criminal investigation for insufficient evidence, but the lawsuit’s impact on Cardi's ongoing album rollout remains uncertain.
