Sin City Scandal! Cardi B Accused of Striking Woman During Explosive Performance
A woman has filed a civil lawsuit against American rapper Cardi B, accusing her of assault, battery, and negligence over an incident that occurred during a 2023 performance in Las Vegas.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to reports, the incident happened at Drai’s Beachclub and went viral online after Cardi B was seen hurling a microphone into the crowd mid‑performance.
Court documents, obtained by Page Six, show that the complaint was filed on Monday, July 21, by a concertgoer identified as Jane Doe. She alleged that the microphone struck her unexpectedly, causing physical injuries and emotional trauma.
Jane Doe claims the outburst happened after someone in the audience splashed water on the rapper while she was performing her hit track “Bodak Yellow.” Although Cardi B initially appeared playful about the splash, the woman said the mood shifted suddenly when the artist, reacting in anger, flung the microphone directly into the crowd.
The plaintiff further noted that the incident left her hurt and humiliated—particularly because footage of the moment went viral and the same microphone was later auctioned online for nearly $100,000.
The suit also names Drai’s Management Group, alleging the organizers failed to provide adequate security or take preventive measures, despite an earlier reported incident the night before in which Cardi B allegedly threw a microphone at a DJ.
Law enforcement had previously closed the case without pressing criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence. However, Jane Doe has now reopened the matter as a civil case and is seeking damages.
In response, Cardi B’s legal team has dismissed the claims, describing the lawsuit as baseless.
The 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) began nationwide on Thursday, with over 2.2 million candidates expected to participate across accredited centres.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The exam, conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), will run from April 16 to April 22 in multiple daily sessions.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, urged examination officials to remain highly committed and professional, noting that the success of the exercise depends largely on their dedication.
He gave the charge during a virtual final briefing for technical officers ahead of the examination, where he also praised staff, ad hoc personnel, service providers, and technical advisers for their roles in the successful conduct of the mock exam.
Oloyede said many of the issues recorded during the mock exercise were due to poor assessment of centres by some technical officials.
He further stated that incentive packages would be awarded to teams that perform exceptionally, particularly in handling exam materials and submitting timely reports.
Reiterating JAMB’s zero-tolerance stance on malpractice, he warned candidates against bringing prohibited items into examination halls.
He also disclosed that biometric verification and real-time monitoring systems have been deployed to protect the integrity of the exercise.
Candidates whose biometrics cannot be verified, he added, will be rescheduled to write the exam at approved centres.
Meanwhile, a NAN correspondent monitoring proceedings at Aduvie International School, Jahi, reported that the first session scheduled for 8:30 a.m. began slightly behind schedule at about 8:40 a.m.

During the exercise, CP Sanusi assessed security arrangements put in place to safeguard candidates, examination officials, and CBT facilities.
He also engaged with centre supervisors, assuring them of adequate security presence throughout the examination period.
Adeh added that the CP reaffirmed the command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, warning that any attempt to disrupt the examinations would be met with decisive action in line with the law.

The Nigerian military has also dismissed reports alleging that beneficiaries of Operation Safe Corridor are being recruited into military institutions.
According to African Independent Television, the Coordinator of Operation Safe Corridor, Brigadier-General Yusuf Ali, made this known during a media tour of the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration Centre in Gombe, North-East Nigeria.
He said many Nigerians still misunderstand the Federal Government’s structured counter-terrorism initiative, which is designed to restore peace in communities affected by insurgency.
Brigadier-General Ali explained that the programme focuses on rehabilitation and peaceful reintegration of repentant individuals into society.
During the tour, some of the participants also shared accounts of their involvement in offences that led to their admission into the programme.
The facility inspection was part of preparations for the graduation of over 700 clients who have completed the deradicalisation and rehabilitation process and are set for reintegration.
