Cardi B made headlines this weekend for her unconventional microphone use.
Not once, but twice, the 'WAP' rapper was captured on camera launching her microphone - first at a DJ, and later at an audience member who had doused her with a drink. Both incidents were widely shared on Twitter.
The rapper, also known for her recent collaboration 'Jealousy' with husband Offset, was performing her 2018 chartbuster 'Bodak Yellow' on stage. Dressed in a vibrant orange ensemble, Cardi B was in the middle of delivering a verse when an unexpected splash from a fan's beverage left her drenched.
Taken aback momentarily, Cardi B took decisive action by throwing her microphone at the presumed culprit in the audience. All the while, her song, along with her vocals, continued in the background as security stepped in to manage the crowd.
This incident came hot on the heels of a microphone-throwing episode the night before. Performing at Drai's Beach Club, Cardi B had grown frustrated with the DJ allegedly interrupting her songs prematurely. She expressed her displeasure by hurling her microphone at the DJ, before abruptly exiting the stage.
The day of Cardi B's performance already saw extremely high temperatures, with fans reportedly braving a scorching 112 degrees for two hours before she arrived. In the midst of this Sin City heat, Cardi B requested fans to douse her with water.
The incidents this weekend added to a whirlwind of controversy surrounding Cardi B and her husband Offset. Recently, the couple faced allegations of faking a cheating scandal as a promotional stunt for their new single, 'Jealousy'. Cardi B, however, was quick to shut down these rumors.
In a candid response to an Instagram comment, the Grammy-winning artist stated, "It wasn't no STUNT." She called out YouTuber Tasha K for starting the rumor and highlighted her own defamation lawsuit victory against the blogger last year.
Cardi B and Offset, who married in September 2017 and share two children, dismissed the recent spat as a minor squabble. An insider reassured fans, stating to People, "They'll hash it out like they always do."
Offset, who also has children from previous relationships, and Cardi B, mother to five-year-old Kulture and one-year-old Wave, are known for their rollercoaster relationship, but they always seem to weather the storms. Fans and followers, stay tuned for the next chapter in this unpredictable saga.
