CARDI B THROWS MIC AT CONCERTGOER WHO THREW WATER

Audience members at concerts in recent months have continued a pattern ofĀ throwing objectsĀ at artists who are on stage performing, and rapperĀ Cardi BĀ has had enough.

On Saturday, the ā€œWAPā€ rapper was on stage at Drai’s Beach Club in Las Vegas when an audience member appeared to throw a drink at her, as seen inĀ video footageĀ posted to social media.

In the clip, Cardi B is seen getting splashed with liquid from the cup while performing her 2018 hit ā€œBodak Yellow.ā€ Clearly upset, she reacted immediately by throwing her microphone into the crowd as security guards rushed to the stage.

More security guards are then seen flocking to the person in the crowd as she watched from the stage before continuing on with her set.

In anotherĀ videoĀ posted to TikTok on Saturday, Cardi B is seen throwing her microphone at a DJ who appeared to cut off her song early during a performance at Drai’s Nightclub on Friday.

CNN has reached out to a representative for Cardi B for comment.

The incident in Las Vegas on Saturday is just the latest in a slew ofĀ similar scenesĀ at concerts where artists – including Drake,Ā Kelsea Ballerini,Ā Harry StylesĀ andĀ Bebe Rexha – have become the target of objects thrown at them while on stage, with some artists suffering injuries as a result.

Only recently have performers, including R&B singer Monica and country starĀ Miranda Lambert, gotten involved when they see behavior they do not approve of.

Last week, Monica jumped off the stage after witnessing someone allegedly assault a female audience member in the crowd at her Detroit show.

She was praised for her interference when footage of the altercation went viral on social media, and she laterĀ told CNN’s Abby PhillipĀ she feels concerts have become ā€œa dangerous space and place.ā€

ā€œI just really want that to change,ā€ she added.
