Cardi B allegedly threw a microphone at a concertgoer earlier this week, and the microphone is now being auctioned off for charity. According to an eBay auction by Scott Fisher, the owner of the audio firm that supplied the microphone for Cardi’s performance, the earnings from the sale of the microphone will be donated to two charities: Friendship Circle Las Vegas and Wounded Warrior Project.
According to the listing, Fisher stated that he wanted to “try to do something good.” He stated that he was pushed to sell the microphone that Cardi allegedly tossed at a concertgoer after he threw a drink at her on stage during the performance.
“I own the mic that Cardi B was nice enough to tomahawk at somebody who splashed some liquid on her a few days ago,” Fisher also shared in a Facebook post. “After some encouragement from people, I decided to auction it off with 100% of the profit going to be split evenly amongst 2 charities. One is a local charity called Friendship Circle Las Vegas. () The other is Wounded Warrior Project.”
So far, the highest price for the microphone has been $30,100. The listing will expire on August 8.
Microphone Incident at Cardi B Concert Sparks eBay Listing Controversy
Friendship Circle Las Vegas helps children, teens, and young adults with special needs and their families, whereas The Wounded Warrior Project is a veterans organization for wounded military members.
The microphone is a “Shure Axient Digital Mic,” according to the eBay listing. According to the post, the seller recognized the mic as Cardi’s since it has white tape across the bottom with the words “Main” inscribed on it.
“We provided more than one microphone for this particular show and verified with the in-house crew which one was specifically used by Cardi for the show,” the listing reads. “It was pretty easy to identify though as her mic was marked ‘main’.”
Earlier this week, a viral video surfaced of the artist tossing a microphone at an audience member during a recent concert after the person threw a drink at her mid-performance. This happened just hours after she had a similar outburst at another event in Las Vegas.
