Cardi B’s recent microphone-tossing incident in Las Vegas has not only made headlines but also resulted in a surprising $100,000 payday—but not for the rapper. The microphone she threw into the crowd during a performance has now been sold for a hefty sum, thanks to an eBay auction.
The Microphone Auction: A $100K Payday
According to a TMZ report, the microphone, which was involved in the infamous moment at Drai’s Nightclub on July 29, sold for a total of $99,900 after being auctioned off on eBay. The auction started at only $500 but quickly gained traction, with over 120 bids in just one week. The production company that owned the mic has confirmed that all proceeds from the sale will go to charities, including the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas.
What Happened During the Performance?
The incident occurred during Cardi B’s performance of “Bodak Yellow” at Drai’s, when a fan threw a drink at her. This prompted Cardi to throw the microphone back into the crowd, though it’s unclear whether she hit the person responsible. Cardi B was caught on camera angrily mouthing, “jealous-ass bitch!” as the fan was escorted off the premises. Interestingly, Cardi had asked the crowd to splash her with water earlier in the show, as temperatures reportedly reached 105°F that day.
Legal Outcome: No Charges for Cardi B
Following the incident, a woman filed a battery report with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department on July 30, claiming she was struck by the microphone. However, on August 3, it was confirmed that Cardi B would not face any battery charges related to the incident. Cardi’s legal team expressed gratitude for the prompt and thorough investigation, releasing a statement confirming the case’s resolution.
The event, while controversial, has certainly turned profitable for the production company, with the $100,000 microphone sale raising both eyebrows and charity funds.
