Title: Cardi B Throws Microphone at Audience Member After Drink Thrown Onstage
Cardi B, the popular rapper and entertainer, was caught on video throwing her microphone at an audience member who had thrown a drink at her during a performance. The incident, which occurred recently, has sparked a discussion on the increasing trend of artists experiencing such violations while onstage.
The video clip quickly went viral on social media, capturing the moment when Cardi B is surprised by the thrown liquid from a cup while she is performing. In an apparent act of retaliation, she hurls her microphone back at the person, visibly expressing her anger. The rapper’s Twitter account retweeted the video, bringing attention to the incident.
While it is not uncommon for artists to face objects being thrown at them during performances, most tend to walk off stage temporarily rather than striking back. The incident has raised questions about the appropriate response when faced with such situations.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Cardi B’s representative for comment on the incident, but no response has been received yet. This incident is not isolated, as several musicians have recently faced similar scenarios.
Just earlier this month, Bebe Rexha was hit by a cell phone thrown by an audience member during a concert. Country singer Kelsea Ballerini was also targeted when a fan threw a bracelet, accidentally hitting her in the eye. Both incidents highlight the growing trend of fans violating boundaries during live performances. Drake and Lil Nas X have also been targeted, with a phone hitting Drake’s arm and sex toys being thrown at Lil Nas X during their respective shows.
In June, Ava Max was hit in the eye by a concert attendee who rushed onto the stage. Pink, another popular artist, was shocked when a fan reportedly placed their mother’s ashes in front of her during one of her live shows. The violation of artists’ personal space and safety during performances is becoming an increasingly concerning issue.
Several performers have spoken out about their experiences with these troubling trends. Billie Eilish, Finneas, and Kelly Clarkson are among those who have openly expressed their thoughts on the matter. Kelly Clarkson, in particular, described these encounters as traumatic, emphasizing the vulnerability artists experience while performing onstage.
The incident involving Cardi B has sparked a debate about the appropriate response when faced with such violations. While artists have the right to defend themselves, the question of whether physical retaliation is the most effective solution remains. As this trend continues, it is important for both artists and audiences to address and prevent these incidents, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for everyone involved.
