Rapper Cardi B showed that she wasn’t going to stand there and take it as a fan threw a drink at her during a Saturday concert at a Las Vegas club.
Clips of the heated moment show the rapper nearing the corner of the stage when suddenly, what appears to be a beer is flung at her. After a split second of surprise, Cardi B, 30, quickly grabs the mic with her left hand and hurls it at the woman who threw the beer.
Security was already down around the fan, so there may have been a problem there already. The audience member was quickly led out of the venue.
It is not exactly clear, but it looks like the mic hit a person who did not throw the drink — as people in the audience jostled around right after the beer throwing.
The video caused some controversy among fans in another way, as well. Once the “Bodak Yellow” singer stopped performing and threw the mic, fans noticed that the music along with her vocals continued on even after she was no longer holding the mic, showing that she was lip syncing to her own music.
Fans reportedly waited for two hours in the 112-degree Vegas weather for the rapper to appear on stage, according to the Daily Mail.
Cardi B is one of many performers recently to be hit with something thrown from the audience.
