Cardi B is back in the news as she faces a new lawsuit over an incident that happened in 2023. The rapper is being sued by a woman who says she was hurt after Cardi threw a microphone at her during a performance in Las Vegas.

The woman, who is called Jane Doe in court documents, has accused Cardi B of assault, battery, and negligence. She filed the lawsuit this week, and it has brought the old issue back into the spotlight.

The incident happened at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas. Cardi B was performing under the hot sun and, according to the lawsuit, asked fans to splash her with water to cool down. But things went wrong when someone in the crowd threw a drink with ice towards the stage. Cardi then picked up her microphone and threw it into the audience.

Many people remember the video that went viral at the time. It showed Cardi looking shocked after being splashed, then quickly throwing her mic back into the crowd. She appeared upset as her music continued in the background. Security rushed to calm the situation while Cardi flicked her hair away from her face and tried to keep performing.

Although police investigated the matter in 2023, Cardi was not charged with any crime. Her lawyers said at the time, “As a result of their investigation, there will be no charges against Cardi. We appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept’s diligent and prompt resolution of this matter.”

Despite this, the woman has now filed a civil lawsuit. She claims she suffered emotional distress, shock, humiliation, and physical injury from what happened. Her lawyer plans to hold a press conference soon to talk more about the case.

For now, Cardi B has not made any public comment about the lawsuit.
