The viral video began circulating on social media Saturday night, showing the musician surprised when the person in the crowd flings liquid from a cup at her while she was performing.
In retaliation, Cardi B hurled the microphone back at the person while appearing to yell at them. After the incident, the rapper’s Twitter account tweeted the video.
While this wasn’t the first time an artist has been struck by objects thrown at them while performing, most have not been seen striking back, but rather walking off the stage to take a moment apparently in protest.
Throughout the years, musicians have faced similar scenarios, but more recently, there has been an uptick in them being violated while onstage.
Earlier this month, Bebe Rexha was hurt after being struck by a cell phone during a concert as well as country singer Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the eye by a bracelet thrown at her by a fan. A phone was also flung at Drake’s arm during the opening night of his ‘It’s All a Blur Tour’, and Lil Nas X had sex toys thrown at him during a headline show.
