Cardi B’s heartwarming moment with fans has been a huge payoff for a worthy cause!
The sensational rapper is known for his no-nonsense attitude and willingness to stand up for himself. However, his fiery persona almost led to legal trouble for the “WAP” hitmaker after an altercation with an unruly admirer.
The New Yorker went viral on social media following the release of a fan-filmed clip of him throwing a microphone at concertgoers. Surprisingly, the audio device became the star of the auction which was too high.
Fans React When Cardi B’s Viral Microphone Sold For Almost $100,000
Days after a controversial encounter at one of his concerts, the Grammy winner nicknamed the “Tantrum Microphone” has found a new owner. The audio amplifier, which was sold to the highest bidder, left its eBay home for a whopping $99,900.

As seen on the seller’s page, the product, described as “Cardi B’s Shure Axient digital mic thrown at someone,” was auctioned off for charity. The winning bid was finalized on Tuesday, August 8, at 08:15 am after receiving over 100 bids from interested buyers.
The race to own the viral microphone began shortly after the “Press” artist incident at Drais Beach Club on July 29. A man, identified as Scott, put the device on eBay following the incident to raise funds for a good cause.
According to the individual, he owns The Wave, which supplies audio equipment to Las Vegas nightclubs, including the one where Cardi collided with a fan. Scott claims “the device still works” and wants to sell it for charity.
“I intended to sell micros, but I have decided to do something good. 100% of the sales proceeds will be channeled to two charities,” the entrepreneur’s product description read.
The chosen beneficiaries are Friendship Circle Las Vegas, a local charity that helps people with special needs, and the Wounded Warrior Project, which supports severely wounded veterans. The second project was special to Scott because his father and son-in-law served in the US Army.
Despite the happy intentions behind the mic sale, not many could see the rainbow in Cardi’s controversial incident. Some fans expressed disbelief at the exorbitant price of the audio device, saying it was too expensive even for a good cause.
One fan quipped, “People don’t know what to do with money. What exactly are they going to do with the microphone now?” Another echoed similar sentiments about buyers, asking, “Who spends 90k on that …”

More expressions of surprise followed by a third wail, “When I read this, I physically moved forward and put my hands over my face and exhaled.” The disbelief continues as someone exclaims, “No way! The prices people will pay for celebrity merchandise is staggering!”
While many blame high prices on rich people flaunting their wealth, others see a conspiracy. Some fans accused the BET Award recipient of buying the microphone for influence. “We all know he has someone on his team buying it, just another PR scheme,” one claimed.
“I bet he bought it himself,” says one conspiracy theorist. However, not everyone was upset about the event as fans begged Cardi to release more microphones. “100k to charity? Cardi B should drop the mic every show!” The individual writes.
The Difference Between Rap Queens & Mic-Worthy Fans
As noted, the “I Like It” singer was upset while performing outdoors at Drai’s Beach Club & Nightclub. The dashing goddess showed off her enviable body in a sexy orange dress, inciting the crowd alongside the DJ to throw water on her body.
The racy moment passed with the 30-year-old continuing his performance of “Bodak Yellow” when a female fan suddenly threw the contents of her cup at the rapper. The action not only surprised the mother of two, but the drink also touched her face.
Wasting no time in getting revenge, the Soul Train Music Award recipient threw his microphone at the offending concertgoers. Several clips filmed by fans captured the perpetrator apologizing profusely to Cardi. However, some fans claim that the entertainer’s anger has touched the wrong people.

This unintended victim is allegedly behind the “battery” report against the media personality. A day after the incident, the individual told police he had been “hit by an object thrown from the stage.”
However, the case did not become a legal test for the “Up” hitmaker as the authorities dropped the investigation. In a statement released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, law enforcement announced:
“After a thorough review of this case and in consultation with the Clark County District Attorney’s Office, this case has been closed due to insufficient evidence. No charges will be filed in this case.”
