Weekend concertgoer who tossed a beer at Cardi B during her set was hit with a microphone.
The Grammy winner, 30, became the most recent singer to be attacked with objects thrown at them while performing on Saturday at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas.
In a video of the incident that has now gone viral, Cardi can be seen performing while donning an orange dress and seems astonished when the drink is thrown in her way. She is also performing the smash song “Bodak Yellow.”

Cardi responded by throwing her microphone at the audience member in the front row, who security reportedly led away.
A new camera angle of the incident, which gives a closer view of the fan attempting to pour their cup towards Cardi, who apparently continued performing after the mic toss, was retweeted by the rapper after the incident.
The previous night at Drai’s Beachclub, Cardi reportedly threw her microphone at a DJ who appeared to be ending another performer’s songs too soon. This is according to a TikTok video.
Cardi’s on-stage retort comes after a number of singers this year have experienced item throwing at performances.
This on-stage incident came after others involving celebrities including Bebe Rexha, Drake, Kelsea Ballerini, Harry Styles, Steve Lacy, Kid Cudi, and Pink, who were all the targets of concertgoers hurling things at or towards them in the middle of performances.
