UPDATED: Exciting News! Cardi B will not be facing any charges for the microphone-throwing incident in Las Vegas. It turns out she was provoked when someone threw a drink at her first. Cardi’s lawyers, Drew Findling, David Chesnoff, and Richard Schonfeld, shared the good news with TMZ.

EARLIER: Cardi B experienced a shocking incident while performing at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas. A drink was thrown at her during her performance of “Bodak Yellow.” In response, Cardi B retaliated by throwing her microphone at the person who threw the cup. Security quickly intervened, and Cardi B continued with her show after retrieving her microphone.
The identity of the cup thrower remains unknown.
In another incident at Drai’s nightclub, Cardi B threw a microphone at the DJ after repeatedly being interrupted during her performance, as captured in a TikTok video.
Unfortunately, Cardi B is not the only artist who has faced such incidents. It has become a disturbing trend for performers to be targeted with thrown objects. Artists like Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, Drake, Pink, Kid Cudi, Steve Lacy, Kelsea Ballerini, and Ava Max have all fallen victim to this behavior. Adele even issued a strong warning during her own concert, vowing to fight anyone who dared to throw something at her.
Bebe Rexha suffered the most serious injury when a thrown phone hit her near her eye, causing her to collapse on stage. The perpetrator, a 27-year-old man, was arrested.
During her show in Idaho, Kelsea Ballerini addressed her audience after an object was thrown, emphasizing the importance of safety and urging fans to report any suspicious behavior instead of resorting to throwing things.
