Mic is now up for sale
The microphone she threw belonged to an audio production company called The Wave in Las Vegas. The owner, Scott Fisher, told TMZ that he has decided to auction it off for charity. Despite being thrown into the crowd, the microphone is still in working condition, as indicated by the white tape with "MAIN" scribbled across the bottom. Scott's company provides audio support for many major nightclubs in Vegas, including Drai's.
The auction proceeds will benefit two charities, the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which supports teens and young adults with special needs. The sale of the microphone presents an opportunity for fans to own a unique piece of Cardi B's show while contributing to meaningful causes.
Did Cardi B ask for it?
During her performance at Drai's Beach Club in Las Vegas on a scorching hot day, Cardi B had asked the crowd to douse her with water to cool off. However, things took a turn when a fan threw a cup full of liquid and ice at her, causing her to lose her cool. She retaliated by tossing the microphone into the crowd.
However, it remains unclear if the fan's actions were intentional. A new angle shared on TikTok shows the woman appearing apologetic after the incident. This new perspective has sparked discussions and comments from fellow TikTokers.
As for the auction, the starting bid on the eBay listing for the microphone is $500. Scott mentioned that the mic originally cost $1,000. It will be interesting to see where the winning bid lands as fans and supporters have the opportunity to acquire the unique piece from Cardi B's show.
