Cardi B throws mic at concertgoer who hurled drink at her
Concertgoers are getting out of hand and musicians are striking back!
Cardi B is the latest musician to have something thrown at her while performing on stage, but unlike most celebrities, she is fighting back.
The American rapper was performing in Las Vegas when a woman in the crowd tossed a drink at her.
In the words of the 30-year-old's 'Bodak Yellow' lyrics:
She gon' do what to who? Let's find out and see, Cardi B.
Cardi B didn't think twice before throwing her microphone at the woman. She did not miss!
A video of the incident has since gone viral. Several media outlets credited social media user @j_blizzyy (Twitter, TikTok) as the person who took the video.

Several angles of the incident were taken by different concertgoers. One video showed the woman apologising profusely after Cardi B threw the mic at her.
But according to some fans, the woman did so in jest after a DJ encouraged an audience member to splash Cardi B with water.
A video shows the audience member doing just that, and Cardi B did not seem to mind. You can watch that video here: Cardi B splashing video. (Warning: The video contains foul language).
To add to the chaos of the situation, several other Twitter users shared a video that showed Cardi B throwing her mic at a DJ in Las Vegas just hours before her now-viral mic-throwing video.
