Criminal Battery Charges Against Cardi B Dropped After Mic-Tossing Incident

Cardi B will not be facing any criminal charges related to an event where she flung a microphone into the crowd of a concert. The incident occurred after an audience member launched a beverage at her during her Las Vegas performance this past Saturday.

Following the viral video that surfaced online, the rapper’s lawyers — Drew Findling, David Chesnoff, and Richard Schonfeld — received news of the halted investigation. They told TMZ, “This afternoon, we were notified by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. that as a result of their investigation, there will be NO charges against Cardi. On behalf of Cardi, we appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept’s diligent and prompt resolution of this matter.”

The decision arrived a few days after the filing of a police report by the drenched concert attendee on Sunday (July 30). Although the statement reportedly kept clear of naming the musician directly, the location referenced in the incident report was the same as the rapper’s performance venue that weekend.
