An attorney for the rapper called the lawsuit an alleged "transparent and pitiful attempted financial shakedown."

Cardi B is being sued for assault and battery after she allegedly struck a woman with a microphone during her performance in Las Vegas two years ago. The woman — identified as Jane Doe — claims in the lawsuit that the “I Like It” rapper had asked the audience at Drai’s Beachclub to throw water at her to help her cool off, TMZ reported Wednesday.
