What happened at Cardi B's concert?
On Saturday, July 29, an audience member tossed a drink at Cardi during a gig at the Vegas club. The rapper then threw her microphone into the crowd. The video shared by fans showed the singer appearing to be cheerful raps 'Bodak Yellow'. An audience member then tossed a drink on her face.

However, it remains unclear which of those individuals reported the incident to the police.

The eyewitness told the media outlet that the singer was "performing at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas on Saturday. She was telling the crowd that she was hot and wanted them to throw water on her body and legs while she twerked due to the heat."
