A concertgoer’s drink-throwing incident has Twitter users accusing Cardi B of having a Milli Vanilli moment on stage.

The unwieldy fan threw her drink at Cardi while the latter performed her 2017 hit “Bodak Yellow” at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas July 29. The liquid landed on Cardi and instantly caused the rapper to retaliate. 

The mother of two chucked her microphone and hit the drink-throwing hater in a matter of seconds. Cardi called out the rowdy concertgoer and said, “Wassup?!… Fuck outta here!”

On Twitter, social media users discussed Cardi’s lip-syncing as much as her heated exchange with the aggressor in the crowd. The strong opinions highlighted a mixed bag of perspectives on whether the rapper was justified for how she clapped back at the concertgoer.

Many think the woman in the crowd threw her drink at the “Money” rapper because Cardi used a backing track while she was on stage. Several who found fault with the performance highlighted that Milli Vanilli’s Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan lost their 1990 “Best New Artist” Grammy after the Recording Academy found out the duo completely lip-synced their chart-topping sophomore album, Girl You Know It’s True. 

Others that defended the “Jealous” MC noted that she and many other contemporary artists lip-synced during their performances. As the supporters saw it, Cardi wasn’t the first to do it, and she won’t be the last.

Regarding the Milli Vanilli jabs, Cardi supporters also specified that the rapper was lip-syncing to a song she originally recorded. 

In Pilatus and Morvan’s case, the duo had been frontmen who performed vocals that other musicians sang for their album.

I’m glad someone pelt Cardi B w a drink, proving she doesn’t actually sing at her shows.

Join the ranks of Milli Vanilli, Ashlee Simpson, & countless others who have been proven fake. If you can’t do the bareminimum as a performing artist, you don’t deserve the fame/money

Y’all be reaching with these reads. Now Cardi is faking her own voice on records like Milli Vanilli? Yeah, we need to bring back state run mental hospitals because this madness is a pandemic in itself. These kids are truly not well pic.twitter.com/nxnvGDRPwe

Is she just trying to get attention?

For folks who keep trying to connect this to Milli Vanilli to Cardi B – the issue wasn’t lip syncing it was that the singers we know as Milli Vanilli never actually sang the song. What we heard were two different singers. Big difference from lip syncing over your own voice.

I know the other side of twitter don’t have Milli Vanilli trending over Cardi vocals 😐. That’s not that. Anyway we been telling artists to stop doing that, and she herself still performed well with vocals or not.

Ok
1. I don’t blame her for throwing the mic. That girl is lucky Cardi didn’t beat her ass.
2. Though it’s bummer she’s lip syncing. Milli Vanilli lost their Grammy for not singing at all. https://t.co/ahtXIhfqW8

Hi, GenX here…Milli Vanilli wasn’t vilified because they lipsynced at shows. They were vilified because that wasn’t even their voice in the first place and they were “singers”. Please pass this on to whatever generation holds the keys to Cardi B gossip. Leave that woman alone.

The concertgoer who sparked all the controversy has filed a battery police report against Cardi, according to USA Today.

The undefined woman filed via the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department July 30. No arrests have been made as of yet.
