Cardi B Takes Decisive Action: Microphone Thrown in Concert Controversy
Exploring the Emergence of Audience Disturbances in Live Shows
An alarming surge in audience members throwing items at performers during live concerts has been observed. Numerous artists, like Bebe Rexha, Harry Styles, and Latto, have faced such incidents, encountering projectile-related disruptions. Joining this roster is Cardi B, who demonstrated her assertiveness during her recent performance at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas.

});
While passionately performing her 2017 track “Bodak Yellow,” an unruly attendee decided to throw a beverage at Cardi B. The incident was filmed and later circulated widely on social media. In the video, the drink splashed on Cardi’s face and drenched her orange swimsuit cover-up, clearly aggravating her. Responding promptly, Cardi B, who is known for being left-handed, retaliated by fiercely tossing her microphone at the disruptive individual.
Security swiftly intervened, ejecting the individual from the premises. Despite exchanging some undoubtedly colorful words with the offender, Cardi continued her show.
Although such incidents may appear relatively recent, historical records document audience disruptions during concerts.

Back in the ’70s, incidents like firecrackers and M-80s were common disruptions, with some cases resulting in severe injuries to performers, such as the renowned Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin.
In Cardi B’s situation, the reason behind the drink-throwing episode remains uncertain, mirroring similar occurrences in recent times. It seems that certain individuals seek attention, yet their motives often remain elusive.
Cardi B now joins the list of artists who have encountered audience-related assaults recently. Bebe Rexha was struck by a phone, Ava Max faced slapping and scratching during a performance, and Kelsea Ballerini, Pink, and Lil Nas X all had unwanted items thrown at them during their shows.
