Cardi B in trouble, singer sued for battery after throwing microphone at 2023 concert
Cardi B is being sued by an Ohio woman claiming that she was 'forcefully' hit by a microphone thrown by the rapper during a performance at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas in 2023. According to a complaint filed in the Eighth Judicial Court in Clark County, Nevada, the woman, identified as Jane Doe, was on her first solo trip to Las Vegas and attended Cardi's headlining performance at Drai's Beachclub on July 29, 2023.
In the lawsuit, it was claimed that during her performance, Cardi, 32, "appeared onstage under visibly high-temperature conditions and, while holding a microphone, verbally requested that the audience splash water on her," according to PEOPLE. Back then, a video clip from the concert went viral in which the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker was seen asking the crowd to "splash her down"—with one condition.

"Splash me down. That s--- feels good. Put that s--- in my p----y, bitch. Come on," the video shows her telling onlookers, PEOPLE reported. It is, however, unclear whether the video was taken before or after the incident.
Cardi B made repeated gestures
Live Events
According to the lawsuit, Cardi B was making repeated gestures and statements encouraging concertgoers to throw water, implicitly authorizing and inviting light splashing from drinks.
Doe also claimed that the rapper further demonstrated her consent and participation by pouring water from a bottle over her body while onstage and that she "physically reacted to splashes by slapping her posterior while audience-thrown liquids made contact with her." According to the complaint, Doe, to act in "accordance with the environment" and "in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction."
Cardi allegedly acted in "apparent anger and without warning" by "suddenly and forcefully" throwing her microphone "directly" at her, Doe claims, alleging that she experienced "immediate apprehension of an imminent harmful contact" immediately after. She claims that the microphone did make contact with her after it was thrown, "resulting in offensive and unconsented physical contact and causing physical injury."
In her complaint, Doe stated that Cardi should have known that the microphone "presented a foreseeable risk of physical injury when thrown." This made the Grammy winner's actions an unjustified and retaliatory act that led to harmful and offensive contact with Doe. Cardi's actions were "excessive, disproportionate, and undertaken in a public venue, causing additional reputational and emotional harm," Doe alleged.
Jane Doe is suing Cardi B for assault, battery, and negligence. She has alleged that she underwent "severe emotional distress, shock, humiliation, and physical injury."
Probe launched against Cardi B
A criminal battery investigation was launched against Cardi B. The case was, however, closed due to "insufficient evidence." "What has been written off as a joke by many people is a traumatic experience that has significantly impacted my well-being and quality of life. I am seeking justice in the hopes of holding Cardi B accountable for her misdeeds, as no celebrity is above the law," Doe said in a statement shared with PEOPLE.
Cardi B's attorney reacts
Reacting to the lawsuit, Drew Findling, an attorney for Cardi B, in a statement, said, "The filing of a civil case against Ms. Almanzar regarding the two-year-old microphone incident is a transparent and pitiful attempted financial shakedown."
"The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney's Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago, but the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up."

Hulk Hogan's car collection was just like him - muscly and loud - adding to his impressive net worth
Hulk Hogan with The Hulkster Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71. While the cause of death is yet to be revealed, it's assumed that a massive cardiac arrest led to his sudden demise. He leaves behind a family - his wife, Sky Daily, and his children - Brooke and Nick. At the time of his death, Hogan had a net worth of $25 million. From liquid assets to real estate to his impressive car collection, they all added to his fortune. Let's take a look at all that Hulk Hogan has left behind. Hulk Hogan's spectacular collection of cars From "The Hulkster" - a red and yellow 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10, that paid tribute to his wrestling persona, to his other muscle cars, Hulk Hogan's car collection was impressive, to say the least. And while Hulk Hogan had quite the collection of Dodges and Plymouths, he didn't hesitate to show off with machines like a Porsche 911 Carrera, a Ferrari 360 Spyder, and a Lamborghini Gallardo. His garage was a mirror image of himself: over-the-top and loud. Now let's take a look at all the cars his garage has housed until now.

And while personally things had taken a nosedive for him, he soon gained his footing and got back in the game. In 2016, he won an amazing $115 million from the magazine Gawker, which had released his sex tape after Hogan sued them. He also earned around $2.5 million annually in recent years, thanks to his WWE Legends contract, various endorsements, and multiple entrepreneurial efforts like Hogan's Beach Shop and The Real American Beer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Walgreens Hides This Cheap 87¢ Generic Cialis Health Alliance by Friday Plans Learn More Undo Both brands found success - his bar and restaurant business even saw expansion, as the Hogan's Beach brand got into retail, and the veteran star opened shops in both Orlando and Clearwater, Florida.
