Cardi B is making headlines again, but not just because of her much-anticipated sophomore LP, “Am I The Drama?.” This time, it’s a lawsuit related to her notorious microphone toss during a 2023 Las Vegas show. The woman, who is not named in the suit, says that she was injured when the Grammy-winning rapper tossed the microphone into the audience. It happened during an outdoor set in scorching heat, and the MC allegedly asked the crowd for a bit of help in staying cool by tossing water her way.
The good vibes were short-lived, though, as a splash from a fan in her vicinity sent the crowd into a frenzy when it triggered an apparent controversial reaction from the “Bodak Yellow” star. In the suit, the plaintiff is charging Cardi B with assault and battery, and argues that the rapper’s response was both unreasonable and harmful. While the police investigated the incident at the time, no criminal charges were ever brought. Even so, the civil case marks a new chapter in what many believed was a closed case.

Video of the encounter quickly circulated on social media, fueling debate. Some fans defended Cardi, arguing that her response was a reaction to the heat of the moment, given the unexpected soaking she wasn’t prepared for, while others deemed her actions reckless and unprofessional. The video drew millions of views, and the mic toss had quickly become one of the buzziest viral concert moments of 2023.
Now, with Cardi B gaining momentum as she prepares for the release of her next album, the lawsuit looms as a potential cloud over her rollout. “Am I the Drama?” is already attention-grabbing, but the timing of this legal action raises the question of whether the drama is spilling over into real life. Cardi B has not offered a public response to the latest lawsuit, but the court of public opinion is already in session. As the anticipation for her next musical chapter continues to mount, both fans and detractors are watching to see how the Bronx-born rapper will navigate this latest legal curveball and whether the drama will stay in the music or follow her into the courtroom.
