Cardi B made headlines during her recent trip to Las Vegas, where she seemingly lost her cool not once, but twice. The Grammy-winning rapper threw her microphone in frustration during two separate performances in Sin City.
The first incident occurred during an outdoor daytime party at Drai’s Nightclub on Saturday when a drink was thrown at Cardi B while she was performing. In response, she launched her mic at a fan in the crowd, sparking viral attention.
But it wasn’t just a one-time occurrence. Footage has now emerged of Cardi B losing her temper during another performance at Drai’s Nightclub the night before. In a TikTok video uploaded by user @kfen777, the rapper can be seen angrily throwing her mic at her DJ. Dressed in a yellow dress and sporting a long blonde and pink wig, Cardi was performing her hit track I Like It when she suddenly turned around and launched her mic at the DJ booth. She then pointed and mouthed something at the DJ before walking off the stage.
While it’s unclear what exactly triggered Cardi B’s outburst, fans have speculated that it may have been due to the DJ cutting the music during her performance. Nevertheless, the DJ didn’t react and continued playing Cardi’s new single, Jealousy, with her husband Offset.
This isn’t the first time Cardi B has had mic-related flare-ups during her shows. Last summer, while headlining London’s Wireless Festival, she struck a fan multiple times with her mic after they inappropriately touched her. The incident occurred when Cardi tried to connect with the crowd by sitting on her security guard’s shoulders and greeting fans. However, someone grabbed her hair, prompting Cardi to swing her mic at the offender.
In contrast, Cardi B managed to avoid any incidents during her surprise appearance at Rolling Loud Miami earlier this month. She joined her husband Offset on stage and together they performed their festival-ready collaborations Clout and MotorSport. Offset introduced Cardi as his beautiful wife, and the couple’s performance electrified the crowd.
While Cardi B’s mic-throwing episodes have generated attention, it’s important to exercise balance and present a variety of perspectives. The rapper’s passionate outbursts can be seen as a response to the challenging nature of performing and the pressures of being in the spotlight. Despite the incidents, Cardi B’s talent and showmanship continue to captivate audiences, who eagerly await her future performances.
