Cardi B performed at a concert in Las Vegas over the weekend, where a concertgoer threw a drink at her. In response, Cardi B retaliated by throwing her microphone at the fan, who was later escorted out by security. Following the incident, a woman hit by the microphone filed a police report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Video footage of the incident captured the moment when the concertgoer threw the beverage at Cardi B while she was performing her hit song “Bodak Yellow.” It is unclear if the person who filed the police report is the same individual who threw the drink.
The police confirmed that they received a report of battery at Drai’s Beachclub, where the concert took place. The report stated that the woman was “struck by an item that was thrown from the stage.” However, no arrests or citations have been issued at this time.
Cardi B’s representative did not comment on the incident, and the rapper herself has not addressed it directly. However, she retweeted a video of the incident, suggesting that she is aware of what happened.
This incident is part of a troubling trend of fans interacting dangerously with artists at live events. In a similar incident last month, a New Jersey man was arrested for throwing a cellphone at Bebe Rexha during her show in New York City. Additionally, both Harry Styles and Drake were hit by cellphones during their concerts in July. Other artists, such as Ava Max and Kelsea Ballerini, have also recently experienced unsafe interactions with fans at their shows.
As the incident with Cardi B demonstrates, it is essential for concert organizers and security staff to prioritize the safety of both performers and attendees. These incidents highlight the need for increased security measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
