Cardi B is the latest artist to be attacked during a concert, as the rapper retaliated against a concertgoer who threw a drink at her by throwing her microphone into the audience.
Cardi B can be seen visibly upset after the incident in a video that began circulating online on Saturday, which Cardi B retweeted. In the video, recorded during a concert in Las Vegas, a fan hurls a drink at Cardi B while she’s performing, and Cardi B then throws her microphone right back at the perpetrator. Cardi B is seen in the video yelling at the audience member, but it’s difficult to make out what she said.
This is the latest in a troubling string of incidents involving fans throwing objects at performers during concerts. Last month, pop star Ava Max was attacked by a fan who jumped on stage and slapped her in the face. Pop star Bebe Rexha was also attacked last month by a fan who threw a cell phone and hit Rexha in the face.
Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the eye by a bracelet a fan threw at her, and P!nk was hit by a bag filled with the ashes of a concertgoer’s mother.
In all of these incidents, the artists declined to retaliate. Cardi B is the first to strike back.
Cardi B’s representative did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
