Cardi B on Mic Throwing Incident: 'I Said Splash my P****, No My Face'

The microphone Cardi B threw into a concert crowd in Las Vegas is now up for sale on eBay.

A production company owns the mic called The Wave, and was leased out to Drai’s Nightclub for the event. The owner, Scott Fisher, of The Wave, tells TMZ the microphone is being auctioned off to benefit charities.

Fisher stated the mic is still working and can be purchased here. Maybe Drake will buy it. The starting bid is $500; the current bid price is $50,800.

The fallout from Cardi B‘s mic-throwing incident continues. Cardi B faces a potential battery charge after the Las Vegas pool party.

In case you missed it, Cardi B rocketed her microphone at a fan who threw a drink at her, splashing her in the face. According to Variety, the fan reported with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department on Sunday (July 30).

“On July 30, 2023, an individual came into an LVMPD police station to report a battery,” the LVMPD statement reads. “According to the victim, she was attending an event on July 29, 2023, at a property located in the 3500 block of Las Vegas Boulevard. During a concert, she was struck by an item that was thrown from the stage.”

In a new clip, Cardi says, “I said splash my pussy, not my face bitch.” It was the departing message for Cardi’s set.

That wasn’t the only time Cardi threw a mic. The night before, the DJ at her Drai’s show caught a mic too. There aren’t any details why she tossed the mic in that incident.

Summer Walker Speaks After Lil Meech is Seen on Ring Camera: ‘Ima Give it to God’

by
Summer Walker Lil Meech Breakup

After confirming a split with Lil Meech, Summer Walker blasted the BMF star after he was caught on a Ring camera with another woman. Meech hit Instagram and said he was helping his cousin with whom he went to the grocery store.

Summer would hit her Instagram stories with a statement:

It’s just crazy how a nigga will really try to pursue the fuck out of you for 2 years, make you meet they whole family, wanna be around you and your kids all day, & pay bills just to embarass you to the world lmao

I don’t understand men but ima give it to God

When Summer Walker and Lil Meech went public with their relationships, fans couldn’t get enough! While the linkup between the R&B songstress and BMF star was unexpected, the internet quickly accepted the love affair as fans could only sit back and wish for the best. 

Now, it seems Summer Walker is fed up with Lil Meech’s shenanigans. Sharing to her 5.7 million followers on Instagram, the “Girls Need Love” recording artist shared her thoughts on Instagram Story: “Tried my best to be jayda wayda but I couldn’t.” This seemingly alludes to Jayda Cheaves’ relationship with Lil Baby, which ended up in a split.

In fact, Jayda entered the chat on The Shade Room, commenting, ““I learned my lesson after ONE kid. Mfers round here starting they own trends and tryna INSERT ME in for laughs on the shade room. NO 😭”

Summer Walker continued on her Story: “It was cute though, I wish him the best.”

On the next slide, Summer Walker confirmed by writing, “Can’t do that cheatin stuff.”

To further fuel the fire, Summer Walker proceeded to post a 54-second clip from her interview with Yung Miami, touching on what she won’t put up with in a relationship.

Just earlier this month, a woman named Tiffany Marie DM’ed Summer Walker on Instagram, claiming she was pregnant with Lil Meech’s child. She wrote, “Hey girl, I just wanted to come to you woman to woman before I go to the blogs. Me and Meech have been seeing each other for the past four months and now I am pregnant. He blocked me on social media so I can’t even reach him and he changed his phone number. So maybe you can relay the message since he decided to ghost me.”

Meech then took things into his own hands, responding to Tiffany via Summer’s IG. He wrote: “Bitch, why are you lying. This meech. You don’t know me. Stop playing before I have somebody at your job.”

Sadly, this wasn’t the first time Meech had been caught in infidelity. And now, looks like Summer Walker is moving on to bigger and better things.

Decoding Elon Musk’s Vision: Twitter Rebranded as X

Decoding Elon Musk's Vision: Twitter Rebranded as X

In a surprising move that set the internet abuzz, Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and visionary behind Tesla, decided to rebrand Twitter as “X.” This momentous decision, holds more significance than meets the eye. It reflects Musk’s relentless pursuit of innovation, disruption, and a bold vision for the future of social media.

The name change symbolizes Musk’s desire to transform the platform from its original concept into a more multifaceted and expansive entity. By adopting the single-letter “X,” Musk embraces a sense of mystery and open-endedness. The letter X, historically, has been associated with the unknown and the limitless, mirroring Musk’s commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring uncharted territories.

Elon Musk’s ambitious plan for “X” goes beyond a mere cosmetic change. His vision for the platform involves a combination of social networking, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality. He envisions “X” as the ultimate hub for real-time information sharing, connecting people in ways previously unimaginable. Integrating AI algorithms will enable the platform to curate personalized content and foster meaningful interactions, while augmented reality will allow users to experience social media in a new dimension.

Moreover, “X” aims to revolutionize the decentralized nature of social media, placing power back into the hands of its users. Blockchain technology will ensure data privacy and security, shielding users from intrusive data harvesting and manipulation.

Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter as “X” also seeks to break free from past constraints and pave the way for the future. By moving away from the term “Twitter,” which conjures images of short messages and character limits, Musk aims to redefine the platform’s identity. “X” will embody boundless creativity, encouraging users to share thoughts, ideas, and experiences with unparalleled freedom.

As with any major change, the decision to rename Twitter as “X” has sparked both excitement and skepticism. Critics argue that rebranding alone won’t address the fundamental issues social media faces, such as misinformation and online toxicity. However, Elon Musk has never avoided taking risks and challenging conventional norms.

Ultimately, the rebranding of Twitter as “X” represents Elon Musk’s unyielding determination to create a more dynamic and impactful digital realm. Only time will tell if this audacious move will revolutionize how we connect and communicate.
