After an incident involving Cardi B in Las Vegas, the microphone she threw at a fan is up for auction on eBay.
The Bronx-born artist was onstage at Drai's Nightclub when the event took place. Reportedly, due to the intense Las Vegas heat, she asked to be sprayed with water. However, one contestant apparently went too far by hurling a glass full of liquid and ice at the star. In response, Cardi threw her microphone into the crowd.
The now-infamous microphone, originally valued at $1,000, belongs to a Las Vegas-based company that supplies audio equipment to local clubs. Its owner, Scott Fisher, confirmed the news by revealing that the device was easily identifiable after the incident, thanks to the white “MAIN” tape on the base. Despite being released, the microphone remained functional and would allow the auction winner to use it for their own means.
The listing read: “This is the microphone that was seen across the country flying through the crowd after Cardi was splashed with some liquid. The mic still works, as I tested it when it went back to the audio shop this afternoon [July 31st]. If you want to use it, you still need a receiver, which is not part of the auction. I will also include a letter stating that this is the actual microphone shown in all videos shown across the country.”
He continued: “I was encouraged to sell the microphone, but I decided I would try to make something good. [One hundred percent] of the proceeds from the sale of this microphone will be divided equally between two charities. The first charity is a local Las Vegas charity called Friendship Circle Las Vegas.”
At the time of the auction, bidding started at $500. However, as word spread, her interest evidently soared. Currently, the highest bid stands at a staggering $85,000 after 61 entrants.
Meanwhile, the person the mic allegedly hit took legal action against Cardi earlier this week. According to TMZ, the rapper is now involved in a pending battery case.
On Friday (July 28), Cardi teamed up with husband, Offset, for the latest track, "JEALOUSY." The single, which samples Three 6 Mafia's "Jealous A**B**ch", served as a direct rebuke to its detractors.
