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.
Multiple fans captured the incident on video, showing security staff surrounding the individual responsible for throwing water at Cardi B. The security team retrieved the rapper’s microphone while managing the situation. Earlier in the concert, footage showed Cardi B requesting a member of the audience to spray water on her from behind, which she welcomed. However, she objected to the unexpected water throw, which hit her face later in the show.
No Crime Committed
After a show attendee reported a battery, Las Vegas police initiated the investigation. However, they have now concluded that no criminal act was committed, leading to the closure of the case.
Microphone Becomes a Collector’s Item
The microphone thrown by Cardi B has become an extraordinary collector’s item and is currently being auctioned on eBay. The bids have reached an astounding $99,000 so far, and the auction is being conducted by the owner of an audio company.
Cardi B, known for her chart-topping hits like “I Like It,” “Up,” “Bodak Yellow,” and the provocative bass-heavy rap duet “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion, is a prominent figure in the music industry.
