On August 1, the microphone Cardi B used as a weapon was put on eBay in a seven-day auction by seller g27racing, who promised that all the profits will go to charity as they want to “try to do something good.”The mic originally cost $1000 (£787.72) and the starting bid on the listing was $500 (£393.94).

In a day, bids were already at $50,000 (£39,256.40) and, after a week, the microphone sold for $99,990 (£78,504.15). The owner Scott confirmed that, along with the infamous projectile, the highest bidder will receive a letter of authenticity and a custom case created specifically to display the microphone.Someone threw a drink at Cardi B and got a mic to the face pic.twitter.com/51slPlXAxX— Fight Videos (@FightVideosTV) August 1, 2023In a lengthy description shared at the bottom of the bid, Scott detailed the two charities of which the $99,990 will be split between.“100% of the profit from the sale of this mic will be evenly split among [two] charities.
