A woman attending a Cardi B concert in Las Vegas over the weekend has filed a police report after being struck by a microphone thrown by the rapper during her performance. The incident occurred when a concertgoer allegedly tossed a drink at Cardi B while she was performing “Bodak Yellow.” In response, the artist retaliated by hurling her microphone toward the fan before security escorted the individual out of the venue. Spectators captured the moment on video, sparking concerns about the safety of artists and fans at live events. As of now, no arrests or citations have been issued, and Cardi B’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment on the matter.
This incident is the latest addition to a concerning trend of fans engaging dangerously with performers during live shows. Recently, a New Jersey man faced legal consequences after allegedly throwing a cell phone at Bebe Rexha during a New York City concert. Similarly, both Harry Styles and Drake experienced similar incidents when hit by cellphones during their respective performances in July. Last month, singer Ava Max was slapped on stage, and country music star Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the eye by a thrown bracelet. These incidents raise questions about concert security measures and the need to ensure the safety of both artists and audience members during live events.
As authorities investigate the incident at Drai’s Beachclub, fans, and industry professionals are urging for increased awareness of concert safety protocols. Concert organizers, artists, and security personnel are under pressure to implement measures that protect performers and attendees from such dangerous interactions. Meanwhile, Cardi B has yet to address the specific incident directly, though she retweeted a video of the moment. Concertgoers and performers alike hope that awareness and proactive measures can prevent such incidents from occurring in the future and create a safer environment for live entertainment experiences.
