Cardi B Sued For Throwing Microphone At Fan During Las Vegas Concert In 2023
Cardi B is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims the rapper threw a microphone at her during a 2023 Las Vegas performance.
Rapper Cardi B is facing a lawsuit after allegedly injuring a fan by throwing a microphone at her during a live show in Las Vegas in July 2023. The incident occurred at a beach club, where the artist was performing in extremely hot weather. A video from the event quickly went viral online.
According to Billboard, the fan, who is going by the name Jane Doe in legal papers, says Cardi B had asked the audience to splash her with water to cool her down. Jane Doe claims she followed this request and gently tossed her drink toward the stage, something several others in the crowd were also doing.
What the Lawsuit Says
But things took a turn when Cardi B allegedly threw her microphone at the woman in response. The lawsuit says Cardi's reaction was unexpected and violent.
'Multiple attendees responded in kind, throwing drinks toward the stage, several of which visibly reached Cardi B and the surrounding performance area," the lawsuit states as quoted by Hindustan Times.
'Plaintiff, acting by the environment created by Cardi B's express words and conduct, and in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction. In apparent anger and without warning, Cardi B suddenly and forcefully threw her microphone directly at the plaintiff," the complaint adds.
The woman says the mic hit her and caused physical injuries. She also says she suffered emotional distress and was harassed online after the clip went viral.
Her condition worsened when the microphone was later auctioned for $99,000 (approximately Rs 85 lakh).
Jane Doe is also suing the Las Vegas beach club where the performance took place. She claims the staff failed to keep the crowd safe and should have known Cardi might act out, especially since the lawsuit says she had thrown a mic at a DJ just one day earlier at the same location.
'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," Jane said in a public statement as quoted by Hindustan Times.
'I'm seeking justice in the hopes of holding Cardi B accountable for her misdeeds, as no celebrity is above the law," she added in her statement. Her lawyer, Cierra N. Norris, is expected to hold a press conference in Las Vegas.
Reportedly, Jane Doe has chosen to stay anonymous due to ongoing mental health struggles and fear of public backlash.
Cardi B's Team Responds
Cardi B's lawyer, Drew Findling, has denied all claims, calling the lawsuit a money grab. '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," he said.

Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan team up for a funny promo. It is for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Junaid jokes about rejecting a big film offer. He chose to premiere his father's movie on YouTube. Aamir recreates scenes from 'Andaz Apna Apna'. He also makes fun of his past films. The promo includes a cameo by Azad Rao Khan. What happens when a superstar dad meets his cheeky, aspiring actor son in a parody promo? A lot of laughs, a little trolling, and some nostalgic nods. Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan come together in a fun new promo for Sitaare Zameen Par, where Junaid reveals he rejected a ₹100 crore film to premiere his father's movie on YouTube—for just Rs 1100. Aamir will be seen recreating scenes from his 1994 classic Andaz Apna Apna as a tribute. The promo will also feature filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi watching RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par online. In one scene, Aamir Khan adds a twist to an iconic Andaz Apna Apna dialogue originally delivered by Deven Verma. The actor also pokes fun at himself, referencing past flops like Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Mock regret and ' nepo kid ' jibe In the promo, Aamir humorously reflects on past choices, saying he once followed his son's advice to do a multi-starrer and ended up doing Thugs of Hindostan, which brought him endless criticism. He adds that remaking Forrest Gump as Laal Singh Chaddha cost him both respect and money. Junaid is set to unveil his quirky plan to bring Sitaare Zameen Par to audiences at home. In the promo, the Loveyapa actor proudly tells his father, 'Aapko sun kar khushi hogi pitaji, maine Rs 100 crore ka offer reject kar diya hai. Aur aapki film Sitaare Zameen Par ko YouTube par daal diya hai sirf Rs 100 mein.' Aamir, taken aback, reacts in mock disbelief and jokingly calls his son a 'nepo kid.' The parody promo will wrap up with a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, making a brief appearance at the end of the video.

What was meant to be a quiet dinner outing in Mumbai quickly turned into a paparazzi moment that reignited ongoing dating rumours between Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru .

Check out the photos here: Pic: Yogen Shah Pic: Yogen Shah Icy glare caught on camera In a viral video, Raj is seen glaring at the paparazzi through the car window before driving off with Samantha Ruth Prabhu seated beside him. Though neither has commented on their relationship status, their frequent public outings and subtle social media interactions continue to keep fans—and the rumour mill—buzzing. Chic dinner look meets tense mood For the dinner outing, the actress kept it effortlessly stylish in a white and navy striped full-sleeve sweater. She wore her soft curls swept to one side and embraced a radiant, makeup-free look, accessorised simply with a black handbag and delicate bracelets. Raj Nidimoru opted for a laid-back look with an olive green jacket, a black cap, and a noticeably serious expression that has since become the focus of online chatter. Detroit photos fuel speculation The buzz around Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru's rumoured relationship intensified recently after Samantha shared a series of photos from her trip to Detroit, Michigan, where she attended the TANA 2025 event. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Raj appearing in multiple frames—including one notably intimate picture where his arm is affectionately wrapped around her—adding more fuel to the ongoing dating rumours. The two first worked together on Citadel: Honey Bunny, which Raj co-directed with Krishna D.K. Since then, their off-screen rapport has sparked continuous speculation, with fans and media closely tracking their growing closeness. According to a Pinkvilla report, Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been exploring properties together with plans to move in. The source also alleged that Raj officially divorced his wife Shhyamali in 2022 and later found love in Samantha following their collaboration on Citadel. However, Samantha's manager has denied the moving-in rumours in a statement to Hindustan Times, calling them untrue.
