Cardi B is now a suspect in a battery investigation as new footage has emerged showing the moment she threw a microphone at an audience member who tossed a drink at her during a gig in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The WAP hitmaker, 30, was seen hurling the microphone from the stage after getting splashed by a drink thrown by a fan during a gig at Drai's Beachclub.

A clip showing a new angle of the incident - captioned: 'When you f*** around and find out' - showed the fan who apparently threw the drink saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry' after Cardi hurled the microphone.

Security are then seen making their way to the woman before seemingly escorting her away. 

The woman who was hit by the mic went to Las Vegas Metro PD the next day to report the incident, reports TMZ.

She told police she had been struck by the microphone thrown from the stage but it is not known if the woman told police she had thrown liquid at the musician first.

In a further intriguing turn of events, another fan has claimed on social media that she was hit by the mic, and said it not strike the person who threw the drink at Cardi

The night prior, Cardi was performing at Drai's Nightclub 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 is 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 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.
