Cardi B's controversial mic-throwing incident sparks social media frenzy at Drai's Beach Club in Las Vegas

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Las Vegas, the chart-topping singer, Cardi B, found herself embroiled in yet another controversy. As captured in a viral video shared on Pop Base Twitter, the 'WAP' hitmaker was seen throwing her microphone at an audience member after getting splashed by a drink thrown in her direction. However, this was not the only incident that led to her mic-throwing outburst.

The previous night, Cardi B had performed at the same venue and became increasingly frustrated when the DJ allegedly cut off her songs prematurely. In a separate video shared on social media, she can be seen shouting out her name before flinging the microphone like a football towards the DJ and then walking off stage. The daytime performance in Las Vegas had Cardi B donning a vibrant orange dress as she energetically performed her 2018 hit 'Bodak Yellow.' While in the midst of her performance, she was unexpectedly hit in the face by a cup of liquid from the audience.

Reacting quickly and clearly irritated, the singer retaliated by hurling her microphone at the presumed drink-tosser. The incident went viral, garnering a range of reactions from social media users. Many fans showed their support for Cardi B's actions, while others questioned the potential consequences of her actions had she missed her target.

This isn't the first time the rapper has been targeted during a performance. In 2022, audiences threw paper balls at her during a concert, leading to a barrage of insults from the artist before she dramatically stormed off stage. Despite the disruption, some attendees found the incident amusing, although others expressed their dissatisfaction and demanded refunds.
