Cardi B is being sued by her involvement in an incident that took place two years ago, TMZ claimed on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old New York native has been accused of ‘assault, battery, negligence’ by an anonymous woman.
The alleged victim has claimed that the rapper threw a microphone at her during an afternoon party in Las Vegas.
The location was Drai’s Beachclub which is part of at the boutique hotel The Cromwell.
In the lawsuit the woman claimed that Cardi asked fans to throw water at her because there was a heatwave in Sin City. But when a concertgoer splashed a cup of liquid with ice at her, the artist threw the microphone back at her.

DailyMail.com has reached out to her reps for comment.
In 2023 Cardi – born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – was cleared legally after an investigation of the incident.
She did not face any charges, her legal team told TMZ.
‘This afternoon we were notified by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept., that as a result of their investigation, there will be NO charges against Cardi,’ a trio of lawyers for the pop star – Drew Findling, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld – told TMZ in a statement.
They continued: ‘On behalf of Cardi, we appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept’s diligent and prompt resolution of this matter.’
The WAP hitmaker was seen hurling the microphone from the stage after getting splashed by a drink thrown by a fan, in a video shared to Pop Base Twitter.
The person who was struck by the mic filed a report with authorities in the wake of the incident.
While the pop superstar was listed as a suspected batterer in the incident, police said that no crime occurred and the case had never been sent to the district attorney.
It wasn’t the first time she decided to use her microphone for something other than singing.

The night prior, Cardi was performing at Drai’s Beachclub when she became irritated after the DJ was allegedly cutting off her songs too early.
In a clip shared to social media by user kfen777 the entertainer was seen shouting out her name before turning around and flinging the microphone in the direction of the DJ as if she was throwing a football, before walking off stage.
The first clip sees Cardi, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, wearing a busty bright orange dress while performing on stage in the daylight hours.
She was in the middle of singing her 2018 hit Bodak Yellow, and raises the microphone up to her face for another verse, before suddenly a spray of liquid is seen hitting her in the face from a drink a cup in the audience
Cardi appears shocked for a brief second before swinging into action and throwing the microphone at someone in the audience, presumably the drink-tosser.
Meanwhile the soundtrack to her song along with her vocals continues on in the background.
Cardi is then seen fixing her hair as security appears to handle the situation in the crowd.
Fans in Las Vegas reportedly waited two hours in 112 degree heat before the star showed up to perform.
The hip hop star reportedly even asked fans to throw water on her as she complained about the excessive heat in Sin City.
The night prior she was seen barefoot on stage while performing her smash hit I Like It in a neon yellow mini dress prior to the microphone incident.
Cardi ended the set with a confetti celebration before throwing the mic and then leaving the stage.
Confused users in the comments asked, ‘What happened?? There’s no context…’
The poster of the video explained: ‘DJ cut the track short on multiple songs! She was livid (as you can see)’ with a laughing out crying emoji.
