The investigation was prompted when a show attendee allegedly threw water at the performer, leading to the now-infamous microphone throw. However, due to “insufficient evidence,” Cardi B will not face any charges, as announced by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in a statement reported by PA news agency.
Gratitude from Cardi B’s Legal Team
Responding to the police decision, lawyers representing the Grammy Award-winner expressed gratitude for the “diligent and prompt resolution of this matter” in a statement relayed by multiple outlets.
