CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 23 – An Ohio woman alleges Cardi B threw a microphone at her after she splashed water onstage during a 2023 Las Vegas concert, causing physical injury and emotional distress.
- An Ohio woman filed a civil lawsuit on July 21, 2023, against Cardi B and Drai's Beachclub for assault and battery after a microphone struck her during a Las Vegas concert.
- The suit claims the incident followed Cardi B repeatedly asking the crowd to splash water on her, culminating in the rapper throwing her microphone at the plaintiff without warning.
- Cardi B, whose legal name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, performed outdoors at Drai's Beachclub amid high heat, and multiple drinks reached the stage before the mic-throwing incident went viral.
- The lawsuit alleges that the woman experienced bodily injury, emotional turmoil, and public shaming, which intensified after the microphone was sold at auction for $99,000. Additionally, police declined to pursue criminal charges due to a lack of sufficient evidence.
- Cardi B's legal team describes the lawsuit as an attempt to exploit her financially, while the plaintiff emphasizes her pursuit of justice to ensure the pop star faces consequences, underscoring that fame does not grant exemption from legal responsibility.
