Mic Thrown At a fan: With five days remaining until the auction concludes, the winning offer for Cardi B’s controversial microphone remains unknown.
A microphone-turned-weapon hurled by Cardi B at her recent Las Vegas performance will soon be of use to others.
According to aceshowbiz.com, the microphone is being auctioned off on eBay for a preposterous price.
According to the listing, the digital Shure Axient microphone is being auctioned for charity. The used microphone actually belongs to an audio production company in Sin City called The Wave, according to the owner, who told tmz.com that the proceeds will be split between two charities: the Wounded Warrior Project and a local Las Vegas charity called Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which helps teens and young adults with special needs.

Bidding for the microphone, which was originally valued at $1,000, began at $500 and has since increased to nearly $100,000.
There have been 121 bids placed, bringing the price to over $99,000. With five days remaining until the auction concludes, the winning offer has yet to be determined.
The owner of The Wave in Sin City, Scott Fisher, tells TMZ that it was relatively simple to locate the microphone after the performance, as the white tape across the bottom of it reads “MAIN.”
Despite being thrown into the audience by the Bronx emcee, he notes that the mic is still operational.
Cardi was captured on camera tossing the microphone into the audience at Drai’s nightclub on Saturday, July 29, after someone threw a drink at her during her performance. The Grammy Award winner, visibly astonished, launched the microphone at the woman. Then, security intervened as the rap star shouted from the stage. After retrieving her microphone, she addressed the audience as follows: “I said to splash my p***y, not my face, b***h.”
Mic Thrown At a fan: A woman who claimed she was struck by the microphone but did not throw the drink subsequently filed a battery report against Cardi.
The 26-year-old woman stated that she stood next to the individual who hurled the drink and was struck on the right shoulder by the microphone. She stated that she is “experiencing pain as a result of the incident” and will seek medical attention after returning home today (7/30/23).
The LVMPD is currently conducting an investigation, but no arrests or citations have been made. Cardi B has not directly addressed the battery allegation.
