On Twitter, many applauded Cardi B for “fighting back” after this year’s long list of artists hit by objects on stage. Twitter user @yassnito said, “let this be of guidance to concert attendees to stop throwing shit…”.
Since the Drai’s Beachclub show in Las Vegas, the hit concertgoer and victim filed a police report, but Cardi B has not been arrested. According to ABC News, she even commented on the situation while on the streaming platform Stationhead, saying, “What happened… was blatantly disrespectful.”
