Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro revealed a rare point of agreement with rapper Cardi B on Wednesday after a drink was thrown at her during a performance in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Shapiro said that Cardi B, with whom the Daily Wire co-founder frequently disagrees, was justified in responding to a drink being thrown at her by throwing her microphone back.
“Typically when you go to somebody’s show, you don’t throw drinks at them. Apparently, she was in the middle of her most popular song and she asked someone to wet her p-word. So that’s a thing that she did because she is all class all the time,” Shapiro said on the Monday episode of his podcast.
Someone responded by throwing a drink at her, after which the rapper threw her microphone back.
“Also, do I blame Cardi B for chucking her microphone at the guy? No. It’s very rare when Cardi B and I end up on the same side of a debate, but general rule: if you chuck something at somebody on stage and that person chucks something back at you, that’s your fault. So Cardi B has, I think, a right to to throw her microphone at somebody who throws a beverage at her,” he said.
Cardi B is just the latest in a long line of performers recently pelted by objects while performing on stage.

Adele addressed the new trend earlier this month: “Have you noticed how people are forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment?”
“Throwing s*** on stage?” she added. “Have you seen that? I f***ing dare you. Dare you to throw something at me. … These people have lost it. Can you imagine?”
Last month, singer Bebe Rexha was rushed off stage after someone threw a cell phone at her, which struck her head.
Footage of the incident started circulating on social media shortly after it occurred. One viral video shows the phone flying out of the crowd and hitting Rexha in the face. The footage shows the 33-year-old singer falling to her knees on the stage floor. Crew members can be seen rushing to her side to help.
