Everything is for sale if the price is right... including the microphone that Cardi B threw at a fan in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Anyone looking to add a unique piece of music memorabilia (or even just a new piece of gear) can now bid on the mic on eBay. Listed as "Shure Axient digital Mic Cardi B threw at a person. Auctioned for charity," the item goes into painstaking detail to verify its authenticity. The listing reads:
This is the Shure microphone shown in all the viral videos that Cardi B threw at a person in the crown at Drais Beach Club on July 29th 2023. There are literally tons of links to videos all over the internet. You can see in the videos the white tape across the bottom. My name is Scott and I am the owner of The Wave. The Wave is an audio company and we provide audio support to many of the major nightclubs in Las Vegas including Drais. We have been a vendor for Drais since the day they opened at the Cromwell Hotel. We provided more than one microphone for this particular show and verified with the in house crew which one was specifically used by Cardi for the show. It was pretty easy to identify though as her mic was marked "main". This is the mic that has been seen all over the country flying into the crowd after Cardi was splashed with some liquid. The mic still works as I tested it when it came back to the audio shop this afternoon (July 31). If you ever wanted to use it you would still need a receiver which is not part of the auction. I will also include a letter stating this is the actual microphone shown in all the videos being shown nationwide.
Scott Fisher, the owner of the mic confirmed the sale to TMZ. The plan is to donate 100 percent of proceeds to two charities: a local Las Vegas charity called Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which helps teens and young adults with special needs, and Wounded Warrior Project, which aids severely wounded veterans.

Cardi B is currently being investigated by Las Vegas police for battery, however, no formal charges have been placed yet, Billboard reports.
