Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi Bis facing legal action related to an incident that occurred during a 2023 concert in Las Vegas.
According to a report published by TMZ, the artist, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is being sued for assault and battery after allegedly throwing a microphone into the crowd and striking an audience member.
The civil suit has been filed by a woman who attended the performance. The plaintiff alleges that Cardi B became upset after water was thrown on her from the crowd and responded by throwing a handheld microphone, which hit the woman.
The lawsuit claims the rapper had previously instructed audience members to splash water on her to help cool her down in the high temperatures. The woman contends that she was following the artist’s request when the incident took place.
“Several individuals in the crowd participated after the performer invited them to throw water,” the complaint states.
“However, when the plaintiff did the same, she was unexpectedly struck by a microphone thrown from the stage.”
Police opened an investigation
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reportedly opened an investigation into the matter shortly after the incident occurred.
At the time, authorities concluded their inquiry without pressing criminal charges against the rapper. However, the civil lawsuit now brings renewed attention to the case.
The timing of the legal filing coincides with a critical moment in Cardi B‘s career. The rapper is preparing to release her long-anticipated second studio album, titled Am I The Drama?, which is scheduled to debut on September 19.
In a recent announcement, Cardi B described the project as a personal body of work reflecting the past seven years of her life, focusing on themes such as love, personal growth, and loss.
The album marks her first full-length release since her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy, which earned her a Grammy Award and solidified her position in the mainstream music industry.
In addition to her music career, Cardi B has remained in the public spotlight for her personal life, including her reported relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
The rapper has not issued a public statement addressing the recent lawsuit, and her legal representatives have yet to respond to the allegations. No official court date has been set.
Legal experts note that while no criminal charges were pursued initially, a civil suit can still proceed if a plaintiff believes they suffered physical or emotional harm.
The outcome of such cases often hinges on available evidence, including video footage, eyewitness testimony, and documentation of injuries.
Cardi B remains one of the most prominent figures in contemporary hip-hop, and the pending legal matter may draw increased public and media scrutiny as the release date of her upcoming album approaches.
Whether the lawsuit will impact her promotional activities or future public appearances remains to be seen.
As the case develops, further updates are expected to emerge regarding court proceedings and any official responses from Cardi B‘s legal team.

Wisconsin starting QB Billy Edwards Jr. leaves Week 1 win over Miami (Ohio) with non-contact injury
Getty Images Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards never returned to the Badgers' 17-0 win over Miami (Ohio) after suffering an apparent non-contact injury. Edwards headed to the locker room after the injury and returned for the second half in street clothes. Early in the second quarter, Edwards handed the ball off to running back Tyrell Henry for a 3-yard run. Afterward, Edwards suddenly came up limping after turning from the play to run off for a routine fake. He was taken to the locker room after the sequence, but was able to leave under his own power. Edwards completed 6 of 13 passes for 68 yards during an inconsistent first half of work before the injury. With Edwards out, the Badgers turned to San Diego State transfer Danny O'Neil. The sophomore threw for 2,181 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Aztecs as a […]

WATCH: Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber ties MLB record with four home runs in 19-4 rout of Braves
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber made history on Thursday night against the Atlanta Braves (PHI 19, ATL 4) when he tied an MLB record with four home runs in a single game. He becomes the 21st player in MLB history with a four-homer game and third of the 2025 season. Rookie Nick Kurtz of the Athletics hit four home runs on July 25 against the Astros, and Eugenio Suárez, then of the Diamondbacks, did it against those same Braves on April 26 of this year. Prior to that, no one had homered four times in the same game since J.D. Martinez in 2017. Here's a look at the history-making seventh-inning homer by Schwarber: And here's the alternative angle on history: Schwarber is the fourth Phillies player to hit four home runs in a game and first since Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt in 1976.

Cowboys lost the Micah Parsons trade to Packers, and in process Jerry Jones debunked a Super Bowl myth about himself
For more than a decade, Jerry Jones has kept upping the ante on his favorite self-proclaimed desperation. There was no amount of money the Dallas Cowboys owner wouldn’t pay to win a Super Bowl. The size of that check would be embarrassing. It would be obscene. If cash guaranteed it, he’d give up “two-thirds, or a third, whatever percentage” of the franchise’s valuation.He’d say it with tears in his eyes or a sly grin on his face, all to convince an audience of one or assure a Netflix viewership of millions — or maybe just sell the dream to himself.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I’d do anything known to man to win a Super Bowl,” Jones once said. “That’s a fact.”On Thursday, it became a myth.Jones traded one of the best players he’s ever laid eyes on — 26-year-old edge rusher and perennial Defensive Player […]
