Looks like Cardi B won’t face any primal charges after she threw a mic at fan who tossed water at her while she was performing in Las Vegas.
According to TMZ, the criminal battery investigation has been dropped and the female rapper’s lawyers, Drew Findling, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, released a statement to the news outlet saying: “This afternoon we were notified by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept., that as a result of their investigation, there will be NO charges against Cardi. On behalf of Cardi, we appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept’s diligent and prompt resolution of this matter.”

In recent months, there have been several highly publicized incidents of things being thrown at musical artists. In June, singer Bebe Rexha was sent to the hospital and ended up needing stitches on her left eye after a fan threw a cellphone at her and she collapsed. Rapper Drake was also hit with a cellphone at a show in Chicago this month.
One fan threw their mother’s ashes onstage at singer Pink’s concert in London, and singer Harry Styles was seen in a video holding his left eye and wincing after an unknown object hit him in the face at a concert in Vienna.
Singer Adele, while performing during her residency in Las Vegas, warned an audience not to throw anything. “Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing s*** onstage?” she said. “Have you seen them? I f***ing dare you. I dare you to throw something at me, and I’ll f***ing kill you.”
We’re not sure where this trend came from, but a lot of artist are not having it when it comes to fans throwing objects at them while they’re performing on stage.

Also, that same mic that Cardi threw at a fan went up for sale on Ebay! The microphone is currently going for $99,900 according to the eBay listing with just over four days left in the auction and $20 shipping. The mic was posted by Scott Fisher, owner of The Wave, which is the audio company that lent services to Cardi B’s July 29 performance at Drais Beach Club in Las Vegas. Fisher says the intention is to donate the funds from auctioning off the microphone to Friendship Circle Las Vegas, a charity helping special needs children, teens, and their families, and the Wounded Warrior Project.
