The “I Like It” hitmaker, who is married to rapper Offset, was performing at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub last Saturday when she requested her fans cool her down by splashing her with water in an attempt to beat the Las Vegas heat.

 

However, when one audience member responded by dousing the rapper with not just liquid but also ice, she lashed out by throwing the microphone directly at the alleged liquid launcher.

The mic then ricocheted and hit a female bystander, who filed a police report, claiming she wasn’t the one who launched the melting missiles at Cardi, 30.

According to NBC, the woman told local law enforcement that she got hit by the microphone on the right shoulder and is now “experiencing pain because of the incident and is going to go get medical attention after she returns home on 7/30/23.”

While the mother-of-two was listed as a battery suspect, the case was never referred to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office and the cops concluded Cardi did not commit a criminal offense.

As for the infamous microphone that Cardi threw at the crowd, it’s now up for auction on eBay, with bids so far eclipsing $90,000.
