Following the mic-throwing incident on 29 July, the woman who was hit by next day went to the Las Vegas Metro PD. After the investigation, the police decided that no crime occurred and the case was never sent to the district attorney.

Cardi’s legal team, consisting of Drew Findling, David Chesnoff, and Richard Schonfeld, confirmed on Thursday that the case was closed. Following this fans began tweeting the lyrics of her 2018 song Bickenhead. It soon began trending and Cardi took to Instagram to give a ‘shout out’ to her lawyers. She posted a screenshot of a tweet that quoted a lyric from her 2018 song Bickenhead: “Lawyer is a Jew, he gon’ chew up all the charges.” 

'Lawyer is a Jew, he gon’ chew up all the charges'

The lyric is part of a verse that goes, “Now, I said luxury apartments (wow) // I’m young and I’m heartless (yeah) // There’s a b*h that’s in my vision, that bitch is a target (brrr) // Lawyer is a Jew, he gon’ chew up all the charges… Don’t matter if you fk with me, I get money regardless (cash).” Cardi’s lawyers, the Daily Mail reported, have represented many celebrities in the past, including Donald Trump, Lindsay Lohan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martha Stewart, Britney Spears, and Mike Tyson.

Cardi reportedly also threw a mic at the DJ 

The incident that sparked the battery probe happened on Saturday when Cardi was performing in the scorching heat and asked someone to splash water on her. A concertgoer threw a cup of liquid and ice at her, which angered her and made her throw the mic into the crowd which ricocheted and also hit another woman standing next to her who later filed the complaint. The night before, Cardi reportedly also threw a mic at the DJ who was allegedly cutting off her songs too early. She yelled out her name and then tossed the mic like a football before walking off stage.
