Cardi B is commonly known as someone who is fearless and has no regard for the ones that disrespect her. Musicians or artists in general perform on stage across the world to entertain or get entertained at times. While in most cases artists always love seeing fans fill up the bleachers during their performances on stage, there have been few instances when crowds have crossed boundaries.
At one of her most recent shows in the United States, the Grammy award-winning rapper performed her hit song Bodak Yellow. Whilst performing, a fan ended up throwing a drink at her which immediately infuriated her. Cardi B, popularly known for her savage attitude, threw her microphone at the fan. The culprit hasn’t been recognized, but they are surely on her hitlist at this point.

However, this wasn’t the only time the rapper had an outburst of rage on stage. During another show in Las Vegas, her accompanying DJ fell victim to her anger. Cardi flung her microphone in his direction out of anger that he kept cutting her songs in between. These instances happen quite often. Fans have previously forced themselves onto the stage to attack artists.
Cardi B mistook an innocent fan for the heckler who threw a drink at her
Hours after the incident went viral, Cardi B received a lot of backlash as well as some support. Despite the social media outburst, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal appreciated her response to the heckling fan. As a touring DJ himself, Shaq is most certainly aware of fans that cross the limit. While these scenarios don’t generally happen at every show, musicians are bound to face them at some point.

However, the person Cardi B thought was the heckler turned out to be an innocent fan of hers. A woman identified as paxybabyy on Tik Tok posted a video of her getting slammed in the face with Cardi’s microphone. She captioned the video, “When you’re the one gets smoked by Cardi B microphone but didn’t throw the drink.” This woman was just another concert attendee who was videotaping the rapper’s performance.
The heckler was standing right in front of her as the video claims. Another clip was uploaded on Instagram which showed the incident from a different angle. It was apparent that the heckler ducked away from the microphone which ended up hitting the woman from Tik Tok. Someone else was seen pointing at the heckler gesturing to the rapper that she attacked the wrong person.
