Cardi B Sued For Throwing Microphone At Fan During Las Vegas Concert In 2023
Cardi B is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims the rapper threw a microphone at her during a 2023 Las Vegas performance.
Rapper Cardi B is facing a lawsuit after allegedly injuring a fan by throwing a microphone at her during a live show in Las Vegas in July 2023. The incident occurred at a beach club, where the artist was performing in extremely hot weather. A video from the event quickly went viral online.
According to Billboard, the fan, who is going by the name Jane Doe in legal papers, says Cardi B had asked the audience to splash her with water to cool her down. Jane Doe claims she followed this request and gently tossed her drink toward the stage, something several others in the crowd were also doing.
What the Lawsuit Says
But things took a turn when Cardi B allegedly threw her microphone at the woman in response. The lawsuit says Cardi's reaction was unexpected and violent.
'Multiple attendees responded in kind, throwing drinks toward the stage, several of which visibly reached Cardi B and the surrounding performance area," the lawsuit states as quoted by Hindustan Times.
'Plaintiff, acting by the environment created by Cardi B's express words and conduct, and in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction. In apparent anger and without warning, Cardi B suddenly and forcefully threw her microphone directly at the plaintiff," the complaint adds.
The woman says the mic hit her and caused physical injuries. She also says she suffered emotional distress and was harassed online after the clip went viral.
Her condition worsened when the microphone was later auctioned for $99,000 (approximately Rs 85 lakh).
Jane Doe is also suing the Las Vegas beach club where the performance took place. She claims the staff failed to keep the crowd safe and should have known Cardi might act out, especially since the lawsuit says she had thrown a mic at a DJ just one day earlier at the same location.
'What has been written off as a joke by many people is a traumatic experience that has significantly impacted my well-being and quality of life," Jane said in a public statement as quoted by Hindustan Times.
'I'm seeking justice in the hopes of holding Cardi B accountable for her misdeeds, as no celebrity is above the law," she added in her statement. Her lawyer, Cierra N. Norris, is expected to hold a press conference in Las Vegas.
Reportedly, Jane Doe has chosen to stay anonymous due to ongoing mental health struggles and fear of public backlash.
Cardi B's Team Responds
Cardi B's lawyer, Drew Findling, has denied all claims, calling the lawsuit a money grab. 'The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney's Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago, but the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up," he said.
