Cardi B is 'being sued' for a nasty incident that took place in Las Vegas two years ago
The 32-year-old New York native has been accused of 'assault, battery, negligence' by an anonymous woman.
The alleged victim has claimed that the rapper threw a microphone at her during an afternoon party in Las Vegas.
The location was Drai's Beachclub which is part of at the boutique hotel The Cromwell.
In the lawsuit the woman claimed that Cardi asked fans to throw water at her because there was a heatwave in Sin City. But when a concertgoer hoisted a cup of liquid with ice at her, the artist threw the microphone back at her.
Attorney Cierra N. Norris, who is representing Jane Doe, is holding a press conference on Thursday in Vegas.
DailyMail.com has reached out to her reps for comment.
In 2023 Cardi - born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar - was cleared legally after an investigation of the incident.
She did not face any charges, her legal team told TMZ.
'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,' a trio of lawyers for the pop star - Drew Findling, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld - told TMZ in a statement.
They continued: 'On behalf of Cardi, we appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept's diligent and prompt resolution of this matter.'
The WAP hitmaker was seen hurling the microphone from the stage after getting splashed by a drink thrown by a fan, in a video shared to Pop Base Twitter.
The person who was struck by the mic filed a report with authorities in the wake of the incident.
While the pop superstar was listed as a suspected batterer in the incident, police said that no crime occurred and the case had never been sent to the district attorney.
It wasn't the first time she decided to use her microphone for something other than singing.
The night prior, Cardi was performing at Drai's Beachclub when she became irritated after the DJ was allegedly cutting off her songs too early.
In a clip shared to social media by user kfen777 the entertainer was seen shouting out her name before turning around and flinging the microphone in the direction of the DJ as if she was throwing a football, before walking off stage.
The first clip sees Cardi, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, wearing a busty bright orange dress while performing on stage in the daylight hours.
She was in the middle of singing her 2018 hit Bodak Yellow, and raises the microphone up to her face for another verse, before suddenly a spray of liquid is seen hitting her in the face from a drink a cup in the audience
Cardi appears shocked for a brief second before swinging into action and throwing the microphone at someone in the audience, presumably the drink-tosser.
Meanwhile the soundtrack to her song along with her vocals continues on in the background.
Cardi is then seen fixing her hair as security appears to handle the situation in the crowd.
Fans in Las Vegas reportedly waited two hours in 112 degree heat before the star showed up to perform.
The hip hop star reportedly even asked fans to throw water on her as she complained about the excessive heat in Sin City.
The night prior she was seen barefoot on stage while performing her smash hit I Like It in a neon yellow mini dress prior to the microphone incident.
Cardi ended the set with a confetti celebration before throwing the mic and then leaving the stage.

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson cozy up on The Naked Gun red carpet in New York City amid romance rumors
LIAM Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been seen cozying up to one another on the Naked Gun red carpet amid rampant romance rumors. Rumors are rife that the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List from Northern Ireland, and the 58-year-old former Baywatch babe are romantically involved. 6 6 The glamorous pair star in the new Naked Gun movie together, with Liam recently saying about Pamela: 'I'm madly in love with her.' And last night in New York, the pair stepped out for the premiere of the hit flick, which first hit screens in 1988, starring Leslie Nielsen. Held at the School for the Visual Arts theatre in the Big Apple, the leading actor and actress gazed at one another while standing together at the glitzy event. Pamela looked chic in a midnight blue gown that was modestly cut and sailed all the way down to the ground. She wore her blond locks in a sleek style and finished off her old Hollywood look with some lace gloves on her hands. Meanwhile, Liam wore a gray suit and white shirt, complete with a black belt and matching shoes. Looking dapper and smart, Liam gazed down as Pamela as the pair smiled sweetly at one another. The Naked Gun duo were even joined on the red carpet by their children. Pamela has two sons, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. Meanwhile, Liam has two sons, Micheál, 29, and Daniel, 28, with his late wife, actress Natasha Richardson, who sadly died in 2009. The couple, along with each of their two sons, were seen standing with one another as they all smiled. Reacting to the red carpet snaps and videos circulating social media, one person said on X, "I'm just obsessed with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson!" Another gushed, "They are so cute. Hope they get together!" "I hope they fall for each other. They are two nice people who deserve a great love story," penned a third. I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy. Pamela Anderson on her bond with Liam Neeson "They would make a nice couple," swooned a fourth. A fifth then said, "They have a lot of chemistry." "They really nailed it with this pairing, damn," added a sixth, speaking of the Naked Gun movie casting. While a seventh person added, "I saw Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson interviewing each other and they are 100% in love,,, or if not then he's definitely in love with her." Earlier during the press tour for the comedy flick, the actress took snaps of the smartly suited actor's crotch, while he pretended to photograph her as she giggled on the floor. The off-screen chemistry went further with Liam planting a gentle kiss on the side of Pamela's head as he held her waist. Liam also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opens on August 1, was 'the sex scenes', which the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for. Liam added: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'.' Pamela is a five-times married former Playboy model, who has seemingly hinted that her on-screen love interest Liam will not be her next hubby. She commented of her co-star: 'I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.' She added: 'He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.' 6 6 6

I met my husband when I was 22 and he was 38 - but now I'm older, our love story gives me the ick
A woman has revealed how she is 'starting to regret' her 'age gap marriage', just two years after tying the knot. The 27-year-old, who is believed to be from the US, took to Reddit to anonymously share that she has gotten 'the ick' from her 43-year-old partner and regrets marrying him. They met when she was just 22 years old, and he was in his late 30s, although she said he acted much younger. The coupe wed when she was 25, and from the outside their relationship seemed great, with the woman describing their lifestyle as 'pretty comfy' and insisting they were in sync on many values and goals. However, she claimed now that her 'frontal lobe is fully developed' she has outgrown him and probably wouldn't have picked him as a partner if they met at this age. At the heart of her unease is a growing resentment towards the circumstances under which the relationship began, saying the fact he pursued her when she was aged just 22 is an 'ick'. The post read: 'When I first met him and he came along and offered security, I jumped on it! I knew it was weird dating a guy so much older, but I've always had a rebellion-ish mindset. 'I don't know, I thought it was kinda hot, I blame Lana Del Rey and people in my life for not telling me it was a questionable relationship. We married when I was 25 and everything has been pretty alright on paper so I feel bad complaining.' As a dual-income, no-kids couple, they have spent years building what she calls 'a solid foundation together'. She added: 'We show affection to each other, though sometimes it feels like he's just a roommate or a parental figure. Our sex life is boring and that's also a big part of it.' Financially, a divorce would mean giving up her current quality of life and she dreads the idea of returning to the dating pool. She added: 'Anyways, even though I'd say our marriage is like, 80 per cent good and I feel a deep love for him, I also realise now that my frontal lobe is fully developed I'm growing out of this container of him making all the decisions. 'I probably wouldn't chose him as a partner if I had met him now. Really the core of it all is that I'm carrying this resentful/ ick feeling that he pursued me when I was so young. 'So what if I was mature for my age? I couldn't even imagine dating a 22-year-old now and I'm only 27.' She later clarified: 'The ick from the age gap didn't come from social media, it came from me growing up and seeing relationship dynamics more clearly.' The post, which racked up over 4,000 likes, saw a flurry of supportive commenters offering the woman some advice. One person said: '27 is a really great age to start over. So is 28, so is 29 and so is 30. Who cares if you couldn't live how and where you want, that's kind of the beauty in messing it all up and getting to start again.' Another said: 'Can confirm. Even 43 and 48 are great ages to start again. I've done it and I'm 52 now. Never been happier in a relationship. 'With every year you know yourself better and importantly, know what is and definitely isn't okay for you in a relationship and partner. Don't be held back by putting yourself in a box. 'There's a risk that resentment builds as your doubt floods your head and you see the evidence that the doubts are justified. Seriously consider what that looks like as a future and then decide for yourself if it's jumping off time or if you're having a wobble. 'If you suppress your agency or sexual needs, you can pretty much guarantee that you'll be resentful. Disaster and pain then become inevitable. The strangers on the internet can't and shouldn't decide for you.' Another added: 'My mom is starting over at 59 and she's happier than I've ever seen her in my life! It's never too late to choose yourself.' A fourth added: 'OP, 27 is when I got divorced from my 8-years-older ex (married at 20, he was 28). It's unequivocally the BEST decision I've ever made. My life is mine, I'm so happy now (31).'
