WASHINGTON – An eye for an eye, and a hurled microphone for a thrown drink.
When a concertgoer threw a liquid at Cardi B, the American rap star did not hesitate to throw her mic at the offending person, according to videos circulating on Sunday on social media.
The incident at a concert in Las Vegas made the 30-year-old rapper the latest performer to suffer such an attack.
Recently, American pop star Bebe Rexha was struck in the head by a cellphone thrown by a New York concertgoer,
In London, someone threw a bag containing the ashes of her own mother at American superstar Pink, according to media reports.
Cardi B, in an orange floor-length dress, was singing near the front of a Las Vegas stage when someone, apparently a woman, threw the contents of a tall plastic cup in her direction.
Visibly shocked but only for a second, the New York-born rapper turned and hurled her microphone at the person while cursing her out, as members of her security team jumped into the audience.
On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, several posts praised Cardi B’s reaction, saying it was time that performers react aggressively to such attacks. AFP
