Microphone thrown by Cardi B auctioned for $100k

The microphone that rapper Cardi B famously threw into a crowd and made headlines for has since been sold on eBay for nearly $100,000 (£78,500).

It was auctioned by the owner of an audio equipment hire company, who said all profits would go to charity.

According to Scott Fisher, he had initially hoped that the bidding would top $5,000.

After a fan threw a drink at her during a concert in Las Vegas, it was captured on camera that Cardi threw the microphone. Police have said the star will not face charges.

The footage soon went viral, and the furore led Mr Fisher to list the infamous item for sale. Bidding eventually ended on $99,900.

Mr Fisher said the proceeds would go to veterans’ charity the Wounded Warrior Project, and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which connects young volunteers with people with disabilities and special needs.

“I figured it would gain some attention nationally but the amount of news coverage has been staggering.”

He said he had verified that the mic on sale was indeed the one Cardi was using at the time.

“It’s standard procedure to mark all microphones and in-ear systems as to whom they ‘go to’ prior to soundcheck, to make sure the same person gets the correct items during the show,” he told CBS News.

“You could see white tape on the Cardi B mic in all the videos, and that is how we knew which mic was hers.”
