Overview

  • The complaint, filed July 23, 2025, in Clark County’s Eighth Judicial District Court, seeks compensatory and punitive damages against Cardi B and Drai’s Management Group.
  • Plaintiff Jane Doe alleges that after Cardi B invited concertgoers to splash her with water during a July 2023 performance, the rapper suddenly threw her microphone, causing physical injury and emotional distress.
  • The suit charges Cardi B with assault, battery and negligence and names Drai’s Management Group for negligence and premises liability, citing a prior mic-throwing event at the venue.
  • Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department closed its criminal investigation into the incident months after it occurred, concluding there was insufficient evidence to file charges.
  • Cardi B’s attorney, Drew Findling, calls the lawsuit a “pitiful attempted financial shakedown,” while the plaintiff says the nearly $100,000 auction of the microphone worsened her distress.
