Overview

• An anonymous woman filed a suit on Monday in Clark County, Nevada, accusing Cardi B of assault, battery, negligence and emotional distress for throwing her microphone during a July 2023 performance at Drai’s Beachclub.
• Court documents cite video footage showing Cardi B inviting concertgoers to splash her with water before forcefully hurling the mic and striking the plaintiff.
• Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigated the incident in 2023 and closed the probe without pursuing criminal charges against the rapper.
• The microphone sold for $99,000 to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, a sale the plaintiff claims deepened her trauma.
• Attorney Cierra N. Norris plans to hold a press conference to discuss the case, while representatives for Cardi B have declined to comment.
