CARDI B furiously ‘beaten’ a fan with her microphone after concert-goers touched the rapper during her explosive performance in London.
The incident happened after the Bodak Yellow performer lashed out at another fan for grabbing her microphone moments earlier.
Cardi B, 29, appeared to hit a fan with her microphone in a video recorded during her set at the Wireless Festval in London, England.
The video, posted on TikTokshows the rapper being hoisted onto the shoulders of a security guard as she tries to connect with concertgoers.
Cardi raps the verses of her 2017 hit Bodak Yellow as the guard tries to keep her out of the grabbing admirers.
As she pumps her fist in the air so her fans can finish the chorus when a concertgoer apparently got a little too close.
The recording shows Cardi abruptly stopping her performance, turning back her microphone and lunging at an unseen fan.
The concertgoer is among the crowd, so there’s no way of knowing whether or not the hit is connected.
However, it seems Cardi didn’t appreciate the groupie’s touch.
Fans on TikTok rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts on the rapper’s vociferous response.
A TikToker commented: “AS SHOULD BE.”
Another joke added, regarding Cardi’s hit singles as wall as her microphone wave, “don’t miss” followed by several laughing emojis.
A third fan wrote: “Getting hit with a microphone is crazy”.
While a fourth person commented: “Cardi always [proves] why she’s the queen of hip-hop”.
SLEEP TWO
Moments before the fans tried to grope, Cardi backed off and waved at another concertgoer who tried to snatch the microphone from her rapper.
The video shows Cardi B pulling her microphone away from the hands of a greedy fan.
She takes several jabs against the attempted thief before continuing to recite the words of her song.
Apparently, other fans in attendance thought Cardi’s violent response was justified, as after both incidents, the crowd roared in chants of “Cardi.”
After the performance, an obviously frustrated Cardi B stormed backstage, waving a friendly wave to some fans.
EXCLUDE MORE
Recently, Cardi B missed the 2022 Grammy Awards and later made headlines after deleting her Twitter account when fans called her out.
The Grammy Awards are often called music’s biggest night and when Cardi B didn’t show up, some fans were angry and took to Twitter to express their disappointment†
“I bet your son wouldn’t like it when you’re on your toes teasing us fans and never dropping music,” one user wrote via the New York Post†
“My thing is, why hype us up when you know” [you’re] do not go [to the Grammys] of the jump?” added another. †[Cardi B] should take her fans more seriously [because] This is getting ridiculous, I’m sorry.”
Furious, Cardi then lashed out at fans and wrote some controversial comments.
“When did I stir you up? Where and when did I ever [give] hint? Like are you okay,” she wrote at the time. “I’m not going to do that [an] award show if I don’t have a new song to perform or my album isn’t out.”
The rapper later reportedly told one fan to “drink acid”, adding that another may “suck”.
†[Cardi B] do you kiss you? [autistic] kid with that mouth?” wrote one user after Cardi broke her silence, to which she replied: “None of my kids are autistic…Don’t project what you have on my kids, damn it.”
As a result of the spat, Cardi decided to delete Twitter altogether, writing, “I’m deleting my Twitter, but for God’s sake, I hate this f***kin dumba** fanbase. You’ve got the slow dumba**es my kids drag , all because you all [thought] I went to the Grammys and I didn’t, the f**k?
“When the f**k hinted I was going? Just damn stupid. I can not do it. I have to protect myself.”
At this point, it remains unclear whether Cardi will rejoin the social media platform, but a number of users have expressed anger at her comments on the part of the autistic community, calling them inappropriate.
