Overview

• The lawsuit filed in July 2025 accuses Cardi B of assault, battery and negligence after she allegedly hurled a microphone into the crowd during a July 2023 performance at Drai’s Beachclub.
• Plaintiff Jane Doe claims the blow inflicted both lasting physical injuries and severe emotional distress.
• The complaint highlights that the fan’s trauma was compounded when the same microphone fetched nearly $99,000 at a charity auction.
• Drai’s Beachclub management is named as a defendant for failing to anticipate or curb the incident despite prior warnings of aggressive crowd behavior.
• Cardi B’s attorney dismissed the suit as a publicity-driven money grab and noted that a 2023 criminal investigation was closed for lack of evidence.
