Cardi B, the renowned Grammy-winning rapper, became the latest victim of a concerning trend in which audience members disrupt live performances by throwing objects at artists. During her show at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas on Saturday, Cardi B was hit by a drink thrown by a concertgoer. In a video that quickly went viral on social media, the rapper can be seen retaliating by aggressively throwing her microphone at the person who threw the drink. Security quickly intervened and escorted the fan out of the venue. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that a woman filed a police report following the incident.

The incident occurred while Cardi B was performing her hit song "Bodak Yellow." Spectators caught the moment on video, capturing the drink being thrown at the artist. The video also showed Cardi B's furious response, throwing her microphone in the direction of the fan. The rapper remained on stage, visibly angered, as security addressed the situation. It is unclear if the concertgoer who filed the police report is the same person who threw the drink.

This incident adds to a series of recent occurrences where fans have dangerously interacted with artists during live performances. Just last month, a man was due in court after he allegedly threw a cellphone at singer Bebe Rexha during a show in New York City. Both Rexha and country music star Kelsea Ballerini have also been hit by objects thrown by fans. Ballerini was struck in the face with a bracelet, while Rexha was hit in the face with a cellphone, resulting in her needing stitches. Harry Styles, the former One Direction member, was also hit in the eye with an unknown object while performing in Vienna.

Cardi B's incident has sparked mixed reactions from fans on social media. Some defended her aggressive response, stating they would have done the same in her position, while others criticized her for reacting violently. The incident raises concerns about the safety of artists during live performances and has prompted discussions about implementing stricter policies to prevent such incidents in the future.

Cardi B's representative did not respond to CBS News' request for comment, and the artist herself has yet to directly address the incident. However, she did retweet a video of the incident, indicating her awareness of the situation. Prior to the incident, Cardi B was heard asking audience members to throw water at her, suggesting that she was hot and wanted to be cooled down.

The trend of audience members throwing objects at artists during performances has become increasingly problematic in recent months. Adele, during her Weekends with Adele residency in Las Vegas, addressed the issue, warning fans not to engage in such behavior. She emphasized the importance of concert etiquette and stated her zero-tolerance policy towards such actions.

The incident involving Cardi B highlights the need for increased security measures and stricter policies to ensure the safety and well-being of artists during live performances. It remains to be seen how incidents like this will impact the concert experience and if venues will implement a zero-tolerance policy towards disruptive behavior.
