Cardi B’s tumultuous relationship with her microphone takes center stage once again as the notorious prop from her recent onstage incident goes up for auction. The rapper finds herself embroiled in controversy yet again, this time facing a battery investigation after allegedly hurling the mic at a fan during a performance at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas.
The microphone, owned by the Vegas-based audio production company The Wave, has quickly become a hot commodity on eBay. With bids already reaching a staggering $25,000, the item’s auction aims to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project and local charity Friendship Circle, supporting children with special needs.
Scott Fisher, an employee of The Wave, retrieved the mic and noted its resilience despite being thrown with considerable force by Cardi B. The incident occurred just hours after she reportedly tossed another mic at her DJ during a previous performance.
The altercation at Drai’s Beachclub unfolded when Cardi B, real name Belcalis Almánzar, was struck in the face by a drink tossed by an audience member. In response, she aggressively launched the mic into the crowd, sparking a battery investigation by Las Vegas Metro PD.
The auctioned mic, adorned with a single word “MAIN” taped to its handle, serves as a tangible artifact of Cardi B’s headline-grabbing antics. As bidding wars intensify on eBay, it’s expected that the price will skyrocket over the remaining six days of the auction.
In a twist of events, another fan has claimed on social media to have been hit by the mic, suggesting it did not strike the person who threw the drink at Cardi B. This revelation adds further complexity to an already controversial situation.
Prior to the Drai’s Beachclub incident, Cardi B’s frustration reportedly boiled over at Drai’s Nightclub, where she allegedly became irate over her DJ cutting off her songs prematurely. A video circulating on social media captures the rapper hurling the mic in the direction of the DJ before storming offstage.
Despite the drama, Cardi B maintains a strong presence on social media, showcasing her outfit changes and enjoying time with her husband Offset amidst rumors of relationship turmoil. The couple, who secretly tied the knot in 2017, recently faced speculation of a staged cheating scandal to promote their collaborative single, “Jealousy.”
As Cardi B navigates both personal and professional challenges, her fans eagerly await the outcome of the mic auction, offering a glimpse into the allure of celebrity memorabilia and the fervor surrounding one of hip-hop’s most polarizing figures.
