‘My Suggestion to a Jealous Hater of Cardi B Is to Stay Home’: Woman Learns the Hard Way That Cardi B Doesn’t Play, Rapper Throws Mic at ‘Jealous’ Fan After She Tosses Drink

Fans may not know this about Bronx bombshell Cardi B, but when it is up it is stuck.

During her Saturday, July 29, performance in Las Vegas, Cardi B had to stop her show to deal with an unruly female concertgoer who threw a drink at her while she was singing “Bodak Yellow ” at Drai’s Beachclub.

Visibly surprised and shocked in disbelief, Cardi hurled her microphone at the woman who tossed the drink at her.

Someone captured the video and Cardi reposted it on her Twitter with a link to her new single “Jealousy,” with her husband Offset. She captioned, “Jealous #ss B##ch!”

Immediately after the Grammy Award winner pitched the microphone at the woman security stepped in to handle the situation,

The femcee was enraged, mouthing her anger from the stage. After the microphone was returned to her, the show continued.

As of now, it remains unclear whether any charges were filed against the audience member.

What was not unclear is that Cardi’s fans were riding with her 100 percent, noting that their favorite rapstress is about her business.

“Idk how to explain it but cardi makes me feel safe.”

“If s##t goes down when the world ends u need cardi on ur side.”

Some shifted the focus on to the security detail, wondering if they were even paying attention.

“Please get those security guards to wake up! Even after you got attacked they just stood there and looked on.”

Others wondered what was the purpose of the person violating the artist.

“If A PERSON is not A fan of CARDIB then my suggestion to A jealous hater of CARDIB is to stay HOME.”

This was not the only mic drop that Cardi did over the weekend.

A TikTok video from the night before the incident at Drai’s Beachclub shows Cardi throwing a microphone at the DJ at Drai’s nightclub. He got rocked with the microphone because he repeatedly cut her off during her performance.

There’s no word on whether charges were leveled against the star.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
