Singer Cardi B threw her microphone at a concertgoer who hurled their drink at her while she was performing in Las Vegas on Saturday (July 29).
A viral video of the incident shows someone in the audience at Drai's Beachclub flinging the contents of their drink cup directly at the I Like It rapper, who flinches upon getting splashed before chucking her mic at the concertgoer.
Cardi B can be seen shouting from the stage at the person who targeted her as security guards close in on them.
The Grammy winner was performing her hit song Bodak Yellow at Drai's Beachclub when she got sprayed.
She is among a growing number of musicians – including Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Drake, Steve Lacy and Harry Styles – who have recently been hit by projectiles onstage.
This did not mark the first time Cardi B tossed her mic during a performance this weekend.
In footage from her show at Drai's Nightclub on Friday, the Hustlers star can be seen throwing her microphone across the catwalk stage after the backing track for her song I Like It was cut short and she finished the performance a cappella.
It's unclear who, if anyone, was struck by the flying mic. But a number of TikTok users speculated that Cardi B threw the mic because she was angry at the DJ for stopping the music early.
A representative for Cardi B did not immediately respond Sunday (July 30) to The Times' request for comment.
Cardi B played Drai's shortly after releasing a new single, Jealousy, with her husband and fellow rapper Offset. The couple's latest collab seems to allude to cheating allegations Offset recently leveled against Cardi B.
