Cardi B Cleared of Criminal Battery Charges After Mic-Throwing Incident at Vegas Concert

American rapper Cardi B has been cleared of a criminal battery investigation by the Las Vegas police, according to a report in People Magazine. The incident occurred at Drai's Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas last week during one of Cardi B's concerts.

A video of the incident went viral on social media, showing the rapper asking her fans to cool her down by splashing her with water. However, someone in the crowd threw liquid and ice at her, prompting Cardi B to retaliate by throwing her microphone, which accidentally hit a woman in the audience.

The woman filed a police report, claiming she was not the one who initiated the act. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department conducted a thorough review of the case and consulted with the Clark County District Attorney's Office. They determined that there was insufficient evidence to file charges against Cardi B.

The woman who was hit by the microphone reported experiencing pain and sought medical attention. However, with the investigation now closed, Cardi B will not face any charges. Cardi B's lawyers, Drew Findling, David Chesnoff, and Richard Schonfeld, expressed their appreciation for the prompt resolution of the matter by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In a statement to TMZ, they confirmed that no charges would be filed against Cardi B.

The news of Cardi B being cleared of charges was celebrated by her fans on social media. The rapper took to Twitter to share the news and posted a picture of two Jewish men, seemingly referring to her Jewish lawyers. Her fans joined in, responding with lyrics from her hit song "Bickenhead," which references having a lawyer who will "chew up all the charges."

The investigation into the incident stemmed from a viral video shared on TikTok, which showed a concertgoer throwing a drink at Cardi B. In response, she threw her microphone, unintentionally hitting another woman who was standing nearby. Security promptly removed the woman who was hit by the microphone.

The microphone that Cardi B threw during the incident is now being auctioned for charity on eBay. The auction, organized by Scott Fisher, whose company provided audio support for the show, has already received a high bid of over $99,000. This piece of hip hop infamy has garnered significant attention and has become national and world news.

The decision to close the investigation and not press charges against Cardi B brings a sigh of relief for the rapper, who could have potentially faced up to six months in jail if convicted of battery. She can now continue her music career without the legal burden of this incident hanging over her.
