Cardi B was caught lashing out at a concert-goer during her set at Wireless Festival. She seemed to swing at the fan who had just tried to grab hold of her microphone at the Finsbury Park event performance. It was caught in a controversial video, shared onTikTok and now gone viral.
The US 29-year-old rapper could be seen resting on the shoulders of a security guard to allow her to get physically closer to the crowd as she rapped the verses her 2017 hit, Bodak Yellow.
She threw her fist into the air during the energetic rendition of the song which the crowd screamed back.
When an unseen member of the crowd seemed to get just a bit too close for her liking, things took a tense turn, the security guard had been trying to protect her from the excitable groupies around her.
She proceeded to stop the song and swing the microphone up and down near the fan before the lights went down on the stage.
It is unclear whether or not the strike connected, or even if she was even trying to land a blow on anybody.
It didn’t stop one person from captioning the clip: “Cardi B fights fan on stage at Wireless Festival”.
This moment left fans divided, with some commenters supporting the songstress and others hitting back at her.
One wrote: “AS SHE SHOULD” as another agreed: “Cardi always [proves] why she’s the queen of hip-hop”
Another said: “getting hit with a mic is crazy”
Cardi B took to Twitter to dismiss the claims she had hit the fan and therefore clear her name before redirecting punters to another source.
She tweeted: “It wasn’t NO FIGHT! @itsKenBarbie got the whole thing on their page”.
Cardi opted for a bejewelled black catsuit for the performance, which recruited the talents of fellow US rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
