Famous American rapper Cardi B was the victim of an attack by a fan, who threw a drink at her while she was performing.

In response, Cardi B angrily threw her microphone back at the person, before yelling on stage.

The incident has gone viral on social media, as fans and media outlets discuss Cardi B's reaction and the unfortunate attack.

It's clear that the attack has left Cardi B shaken and upset, and her passionate response is understandable given the circumstances.

Although Cardi B is no stranger to being hit with objects while performing, her retaliation in this incident is not the norm.

In many cases, the artist has walked off stage rather than throwing anything back at the crowd.

Other musicians have also been the victims of similar situations.

In July, Bebe Rexha was injured when a cell phone hit her during a concert.

Country singer Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the eye by a bracelet, and Lil Nas X had sex toys thrown at him.
