In a recent incident at Drai’s Beach Club in 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.
Fans who eagerly awaited Cardi B’s performance in Las Vegas reportedly endured a two-hour wait in sweltering heat. The hip-hop star even encouraged fans to throw water on her, highlighting her discomfort with the excessive heat in Sin City.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Cardi B and her team will address the situation. The incident has certainly added fuel to the ongoing discussions surrounding her penchant for controversy.
More drama has emerged as a result of Cardi B throwing a microphone at a fan after a fan seemingly threw a drink at her. As Cardi performed “Kodak Yellow”, an audience member threw their drink at the rapper. In response, Cardi threw her microphone at the offender before security intervened. Cardi had been spending the weekend in Vegas to celebrate her new song with Offset, “Jealousy”. On Friday night, Cardi twerked up a storm while performing “No Limit” at Dria’s Nightclub.
A compilation of videos from the event appears to show the series of events that led up to the altercation. While performing, Cardi can be heard hearing “Splash my pussy, bitch” while bending over for the crowd. After composing herself falling the mic throw, Cardi hilariously clapped back at the offender. “I said splash my pussy, not my face, bitch.” While Cardi was shocked by the drink throw, she was able to continue providing fans with a stand-out performance afterward. However, new layers have thrown new light onto the proceedings.
