From stage to auction. Belcalis Marlenis Almánza, popularly recognized as Cardi B, performed at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas, but the show had to be stopped when, in the middle of the Bodak Yellow theme, a follower threw a liquid at her and she reacted unexpectedly.
The 30-year-old singer was furious, to the point of choosing to throw her microphone at the fan who had dared to wet her while she sang.
The truth is that the follower kept the artist’s microphone and had the idea of auctioning it off on ebay, with the support of an individual named Scott.
Although the auction was initially thought to be for big profits, the intent is to donate all proceeds to two Las Vegas charities: one that assists teens and adults with special needs and another that seeks to “give back independence” to veterans. of war with serious injuries.
The microphone up for auction is a Shure Axient model, which has a value of about $1,500 dollars, and despite the blow, it works perfectly. The auction started at $500 dollars and in less than 24 hours it already reached $99,900 dollars. It began to be offered on August 2 and will last for 5 days, so it is presumed that it can be worth between 250,000 and 500,000 dollars.
«We have been suppliers of Drais since the day it opened in the Hotel Cromwell. We supplied several microphones for this particular show and confirmed with the in-house team which one was specifically used by Cardi for the show. It was pretty easy to identify, as her microphone was marked ‘main’. This is the microphone that has been seen across the country flying towards the public after Cardi was splashed with some liquid. The microphone still works, as I tested it when she returned to the audio store this afternoon (July 31). If you ever want to use it, you would still need a receiver that is not included in the auction. I will also include a letter stating that this is the authentic microphone shown in all the videos that are shown nationally,” the seller explains.
