Cardi B's Las Vegas microphone that was hurled at a fan sells for roughly $100,000 on eBay

At the end of July, videos of the rapper hurling a mic became viral on social media and were also posted by the celebrity.

The incident happened after Cardi B, real name Belcalis Almanzar, was performing her hit song Bodak Yellow on stage at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas, Nevada, when a lady apparently splashed a drink on her.

The following day, the police verified that the event had been reported as a battery. However, they later ended their criminal investigation and said that no charges would be brought after conducting a "thorough review" of the case.

The microphone has now been auctioned on eBay's auction site.

Scott Fisher, the proprietor of The Wave Inc, a Las Vegas-based audio production company that on the day of the event supplied sound equipment to the beach club, first listed it for sale.

He claimed he was able to find the microphone and made the decision to sell it on eBay with the promise that the money would go to two charities: Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which supports teens and young people with special needs, and the Wounded Warrior Project, which aids injured warriors.

He stated: "We supplied more than one microphone for this specific concert and confirmed with the in-house crew which one was exclusively used by Cardi for the show.

Her microphone was clearly marked as "main," so it was rather simple to find. This is the microphone that was seen flying into the crowd around the nation when Cardi was doused with a liquid. When it was returned to the audio shop, I tested the mic and it is still functional.

"A hip-hop infamy piece"

He advised bidders to take the sale seriously in a later article. The fact that the money is going to a worthwhile cause and that this is a real auction may very well fall on deaf ears. Please don't bid if you don't intend to purchase the item.

"Please bid whatever you are willing to spend if you want a piece of hip-hop infamy and what has now become national and international news."

After collecting more than 120 bids, the item has finally been sold for $99,900 (about £78,400).

"I was hoping it would hit $5,000 but again I had no idea," Fisher told US news organization CBS News. "I expected it to get some national attention, but the amount of news coverage has been staggering," the author said.
