When two years of the viral incident are about to be completed in which it was seen how (New York, 32 years old) launched a microphone from the stage to a follower, the matter is far from forgetting. The follower has just sued the artist in the Judicial Court of Clark County (Nevada), and “seeks justice in the hope of holding Cardi B for their misdeeds,” according to the documents to which they have had access to media such as. Identified as Jane Doe, she is demanding assault, aggression and negligence, claiming that she suffered “serious emotional anguish, shock, humiliation and physical injuries” as a result of the incident.
In videos that were uploaded to social networks, you can see how the team encourages the attendees of the first ranks to throw water during their interpretation of Bodak Yellow due to heat. But when Jane Doe threw water, the ice also flying, Cardi B is seen reacting almost immediately and throwing her microphone directly against her from the stage. Then, the visibly angry rapper is seen already the security members intervening, while the fan apologized to the singer of WAP.
This is explained in the demand brief, in which it is stated that, during his performance of July 29, 2023 in Drai’s Beachclub, a well -known Las Vegas local (Nevada), Cardi B “appeared on the stage in visibly high temperature conditions and, while holding a microphone, he verbally requested that the public threw water”. Doe’s lawyers claim that the artist “made repeated gestures and statements encouraging the concert attendees to launch water, authorizing and implicitly inviting the drinks to spit slightly.”
Doe also states that the first woman to win the solo and one of the most outstanding voices of the genre, “further demonstrated her consent and participation when pouring water from a bottle on her body while she was on stage” and that “physically reacted to splashes by patting in the back when the liquids that the public threw in contact with it.” According to the complaint, Doe, in an effort to act “according to the environment” and “in a way consistent with the other attendees, splashed a small portion of their drink in the direction of Cardi B”. It is true that there are videos where you are seen saying: “Duff me. How good it feels. Try that shit.”
A Cardi B lawyer, Drew Findling, has declared that the demand filed is an “unfortunate attempt at financial extortion.” “The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office closed this case for a long time for lack of evidence, but apparently, the opportunity to try to profit from a famous was too much for a law firm not to let it pass,” said Findling a.
The rapper acted with “apparent anger and without prior notice” by throwing the microphone “suddenly and strongly” directly towards her, says the plaintiff. He alleges that he experienced “immediate apprehension of a harmful contact” immediately afterwards, “which resulted in an offensive and unseeled physical contact, causing physical injuries.” Doe states in his demand that Cardi B should have known that the microphone “presented a foreseeable risk of physical injuries when launched”, which converts the singer’s actions, which qualifies excessive and disproportionately, in “an unjustified and retaliation act that resulted in a harmful and offensive contact.” According to legal documents, the complainant has “suffered physical pain, emotional anguish, damage to her reputation, shame and harassment of both the media and the public,” and seeks compensatory and punitive damage.
Cardi B, after throwing the microphone, justified on stage: “I said you would get the pussy, not the face, fox.” In August 2023, for more than 90,000 euros. “This is the microphone that has been seen throughout the country flying towards the crowd after Cardi was splashed with a little liquid. It still works,” described it by its seller, Scott Fisher, owner of The Wave Inc, an audio producer based in Las Vegas that provided sound equipment to Drai’s Beachclub on the day of the incident. 100% of the sale, he said, was going to be allocated to charity works.
In a statement shared with the magazine PeopleDoe has a very different vision of the incident that became a conversation of social networks two years ago: “What many people have ruled out as a joke is actually a traumatic experience that has significantly impacted my well -being and quality of life. I am looking for justice in the hope of holding Cardi B for their misdeeds, since no celebrity is above the law.”
