The microphone that Cardi B threw at an unruly fan in Las Vegas last month has skyrocketed in value, selling for almost $100,000 in a recent eBay auction. The mic was originally put up for sale by Scott Fisher, owner of The Wave Inc, an audio production company based in Las Vegas. Fisher’s company has been providing sound equipment to Drai’s Beachclub for over nine years.
On July 29, a fan threw a liquid at Cardi B while she was performing, prompting the rapper to retaliate by throwing her mic at the audience member. Although the fan filed a police complaint, Cardi B was not charged. Fisher later retrieved the mic and decided to auction it, with proceeds benefiting Friendship Circle Las Vegas and the Wounded Warrior Project.
Fisher was able to verify the authenticity of the mic, a Shure AD2 Axient Digital, through various means. The mic was labeled and synchronized with Cardi B’s earpiece, and Fisher’s company has a standard procedure of marking all microphones and in-ear systems to ensure they are allocated correctly during performances. The mic also had white tape on it, visible in all videos of the incident, which helped identify it as Cardi B’s. Fisher further confirmed the mic’s identity by consulting with Drai’s sound technician and matching the labeling and receiver information.
The eBay listing for the mic assures buyers that it is still functional and will come with a certificate of authenticity from Fisher, as well as a custom display case donated by a company after hearing about the sale. Over 120 people bid for the item, exceeding Fisher’s expectations. He never anticipated that this “piece of hip hop infamy” would sell for nearly $100,000, considering that the brand and model of the mic typically retails for around $1,000.
Fisher expressed his surprise and gratitude for the national attention and news coverage the auction received. He initially hoped the mic would fetch $5,000 but was amazed by the final bid.
In summary, Cardi B’s thrown microphone has become a highly sought-after item, selling for a significant amount of money in an eBay auction. Fisher, the owner of the audio production company, was able to verify its authenticity through labeling, synchronization, and consultation with experts. The mic is still functional and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a custom display case. The auction exceeded expectations, garnering national attention.
