Cardi B strongly denied getting into a physical altercation with a fan during her set at Wireless Festival.
The Bodak Yellow rapper, 29, headlined the annual festival on Friday night, performing to a thousands-strong crowd of revellers in London’s Finsbury Park.
However, after a video clip of the musician apparently hitting a fan with her mic went viral on Twitter, Cardi – real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – addressed what really happened.
During her electric performance, the Up hitmaker was seen leaning towards the crowd and a fan appeared to grab her hair which resulted in her frantically swinging her microphone around.
Shutting down the physical altercation rumours, Cardi tweeted: ‘It wasn’t NO FIGHT! @itsKenBarbie got the whole thing on their page.’
Despite the minor mishap, Cardi’s set delivered on the energy, as she brought out surprise guest Megan Thee Stallion, who had performed at the festival earlier in the day.
The pair rapped their controversial yet catchy WAP and, true to the song’s nature, performed a seriously raunchy dance to the track, gyrating on each other throughout.
During her set the star was frustrated by the strict 10.30pm cut-off as she accused organisers of making her rush her set.
The curfew has been newly introduced this year after noise complaints from residents, and Cardi attempted to push past the cut-off time, complaining it ‘isn’t cool.’
‘Wireless, I still have three of my hits left!’ she shouted.

‘You make enough money, this isn’t cool.’
Cardi is currently on the festival trail in the UK following the release of her newest single, Hot S***.
The artist is back performing live and releasing new music after the birth of her son Wave, who she shares with rapper Offset, nine months ago.

The couple also have three-year-old daughter Kulture.
Offset was watching proudly from the sidelines as Cardi expertly led the crowd, and at one point the pair shared a kiss on stage.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to Wireless reps for comment.
