Cardi B, 29, appeared to strike a fan with her microphone in a video recorded during her set at the Wireless Festival in London, England.
Cardi raps the verses of her 2017 hit Bodak Yellow as the guard attempts to keeps her out of the grasping admiers.
As she pumps her fist into the air, allowing her fans to finish out the chorus when one concertgoer apparently got a little too close.
The recording shows Cardi abruptly stopping her performance, cocking back her microphone, and taking a swing at an unseen fan.
The concertgoer is below the crowd line so there is no way to know if the hit connected or not.
It does appear though that Cardi did not appreciate the groupie’s touch.
Fans on TikTok rushed to the comment section to give their take on the rapper’s rowdy reaction.
One TikToker commented: “AS SHE SHOULD.”
Another joking added, in relation to Cardi’s hit singles as wall as her microphone swing, “you don’t miss” followed by several laughing emojis.
A third fan wrote, “getting hit with a mic is crazy”.
While a fourth person commented: “Cardi always [proves] why she’s the queen of hip-hop”.
STRIKE TWO
Moments before the fans attempted groping, Cardi reared back and swung at another concertgoer who tried to take her rapper’s microphone.
The video depicts Cardi B pulling her mic away from the hands of a grabby fan.
She takes several jabs at the attempted thief before she continues reciting the words of her song.
Apparently, other fans in attendance thought Cardi’s violent reaction was justified as after both incidents the crowd roared into chants of “Cardi”.
After the performance was over a clearly frustrated Cardi B rushed backstage while giving a few fans a friendly wave.
MORE LASHING OUT
Recently Cardi B missed the 2022 Grammy Awards and later made headlines after deleting her Twitter account when fans called her out.
The Grammy Awards are often referred to as music’s biggest night and when Cardi B no-showed, a number of fans were upset and took to Twitter to voice their disappointment.
“I bet your son wouldn’t like for you to be on your a** while teasing us fans and never dropping music,” one user wrote, via the New York Post.
“My thing is, why hype us up if you know [you’re] not going [to the Grammys] from the jump?,” another added. “[Cardi B] needs to take her fans more seriously [because] this is getting ridiculous, I’m sorry.”
Furious, Cardi then lashed out at fans, writing some controversial responses.
“When did I hype y’all up? Where and when did I ever [give] hints? Like are you okay,” she wrote at the time. “I’m not going to [an] award show if I don’t got a new song to perform Or my album ain’t out.”
The rapper later went on to reportedly tell a fan to “drink acid,” adding that another one can “suck d**k.”
“[Cardi B] do you kiss your [autistic] child with that mouth?,” one user wrote after Cardi broke her silence, to which she responded, “None of my kids are autistic … Don’t project what you got on my kids the f**k.”
As a result of the beef, Cardi then decided to delete Twitter altogether writing: “I’m deleting my Twitter but on God I hate this f***kin dumba** fan base. You got the slow dumba**es dragging my kids all cause y’all [thought] I was going to the Grammys and I didn’t, the f**k?
“When the f**k I hinted I was going? Just f**kin stupid. I can’t. I needs to protect myself.”
At this time, it remains unclear if Cardi will rejoin the social media platform, however, a number of users were upset about her remarks towards the autistic community, calling them uncalled for.
