00:00 It looks like Cardi B won't be facing charges for throwing her microphone at a concertgoer
00:04 who threw a drink on her.
00:06 The viral video made the rounds last weekend in which the rapper was seen throwing her
00:10 microphone at an audience member who tossed their drink at her while she was performing
00:15 on stage.
00:16 The audience member filed a police report for battery the very next day, saying they
00:20 were struck by an object thrown from the stage.
00:22 But no arrests or citations were issued and authorities say the case is now closed.
00:27 The Las Vegas Police Department said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter
00:32 that the case has been closed as having insufficient evidence.
00:35 No charges will be filed.
00:36 The incident was the latest in a disturbing trend in recent months of artists having objects
00:41 thrown at them while on stage, with some artists being harmed in the process, from separate
00:46 concertgoers hurling a cell phone at Drake, as well as Bebe Rexha giving her a black eye,
00:51 to someone throwing a bracelet at Kelsey Ballerini, hitting her in the eye and forcing her to
00:56 stop her performance.
