Cardi B’s mic throw incident is yet to see its last days as one concertgoer reported her for battery amid the lip sync backlash. Cardi has attracted some negative publicity since her ballistic retaliation at a fan who threw the content of a cup at her during the Drai Beachclub performance in Las Vegas on Saturday. The offending concert-goer has shown some level of remorse since the incident. However, ensuing events have made it a struggle for the Bodak Yellow crooner to sweep the Saturday events behind her.
According to TMZ, one fan present at the event claims the microphone Cardi threw at her assailant made contact with them. Hours after the fan claimed the impact of the microphone left them bruised and sore, reports show Cardi B is now being dragged into a battery case relating to the mic throw.
Cardi B Becomes Suspect in Battery Incident
While the identity of the originator of the complaint remains unclear, TMZ confirmed that the woman in question filed a report the next day at Las Vegas Metro Police Department. In her police report, the woman claimed an item, thrown from the stage into the crowd, struck her during Cardi’s Saturday performance. By a stroke of luck on the complainant’s part, the entire incident was captured on camera from various angles, making it a walk in the park to ascertain her claims.
Videos of the mic throw incident circulating on the net confirmed that right after Cardi B hurled the mic into the crown in retaliation, it indeed struck the target. However, it bounced off the drink thrower and landed right on another woman standing next to her. It remains unclear which of the two women filed the complaint. Nonetheless, Cardi B remains a prime suspect for battery, in line with the police reports.
Video excerpts from the event have shown the crooner encouraging fans to throw water on her to beat down the scorching heat. However, she certainly did not sign up for the content of the cup that was thrown, hence her swift retaliation.
The possibility of the songstress facing battery charges is one of the many pitfalls her mic toss incident has caused. Cardi B has also faced backlash from angry fans after the mic throw incident exposed her on-stage lip sync. The dust is yet to settle on the lip sync bust, and this battery turmoil is already brewing.
