Cardi B Fiercely Reacts As She Joins List Of Artists Targeted By Thrown Objects
In an incident that has sparked discussions in the music world, Cardi B, the Grammy-winning artist, showed her no-nonsense attitude during a recent concert in Las Vegas. While performing her chart-topping hit Bodak Yellow at Drai’s Beachclub on Saturday, the rapper found herself facing an unexpected challenge.
A fan in the front row decided to hurl a drink in her direction, catching Cardi off guard. The incident was caught on video and quickly went viral, leaving fans and music enthusiasts divided in their opinions.
In the video, Cardi can be seen in an eye-catching orange dress, immersed in her performance when the drink was thrown. In a moment of spontaneity, she reacted by throwing her microphone back at the concertgoer. Security swiftly intervened and escorted the individual away.
Cardi’s response to the incident re-ignited debates about safety and respect at concerts. For her fans, the rapper’s reaction showed that she would not tolerate any form of disrespect during her performances. Some argued that artists deserve a safe and supportive environment while giving their all on stage.
This is reportedly not the first time Cardi has dealt with issues that way. The night before the incident, she reportedly threw her microphone toward a DJ who was seemingly cutting off her songs early during another performance.
The incident with Cardi B is part of a larger trend in the music industry this year. Several artists, including Harry Styles, Drake, Pink, Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Kid Cudi, and Steve Lacy have all faced concertgoers throwing objects at them during their shows.
Earlier this month, Harry was hit in the eye with a flying object during his Love on Tour show in Vienna, prompting him to crouch to the ground before continuing his performance.
In June, 33-year-old Bebe was performing in New York City when someone in the audience threw his phone toward her. The incident affected her so badly that she had to get stitches on her eyebrow which got split with the phone.
The concern for artists’ safety has reached a point where Adele, during her Weekends with Adele show at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, addressed the issue directly, calling out the lack of show etiquette and warning fans not to throw anything at her stage.
“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f—ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing s— on stage. Have you seen that?” she asked, adding, “I f—ing dare you — I dare you throw something at me. I’ll f—ing kill you.”
