An eye for an eye, and a hurled microphone for a thrown drink.<\/p>\n

When a concertgoer threw a liquid at Cardi B, the American rap star did not hesitate: she immediately threw her mic at the offending person, according to videos circulating Sunday on social media.<\/p>\n

The incident, at a concert in Las Vegas, made the influential rapper just the latest performer to suffer such an attack.<\/p>\n

Recently, pop star Bebe Rexha was struck in the head by a cell phone thrown by a New York concertgoer, and reportedly required stitches. And in London, someone threw a bag containing the ashes of her own mother at superstar Pink, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

Cardi B, in a bright orange floor-length dress, was singing near the front of a stage in Las Vegas when someone, apparently a woman, threw the contents of a tall plastic cup in her direction.<\/p>\n

Visibly shocked but only for a second, the New York-born rapper turned and hurled her microphone at the person while cursing her out, as members of her security team jumped into the audience.<\/p>\n

On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, several posts warmly praised Cardi B’s reaction, saying it was time that performers react aggressively to such attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
