WATCH: Cardi B appears to hit fan with microphone at Wireless festival, rapper clears the air soon after

American singer, songwriter and rapper Cardi B appears to be in a scuffle with a fan at a festival, in a new video of her that is being shared on the internet.

Cardi B was performing at the Wireless Festival in London and right before she concluded her set, she could be seen swinging her arms with a microphone in her hand. The gesture seemed like the singer was hitting a fan.

However, she took to Twitter to clarify that there was "no fight" between her and a fan.

Did Cardi B get into a fight at the Wireless Music Festival?

The angle through which Cardi B’s videos are being shared initially makes it seem like she is hitting a fan with a microphone. However, on a closer look and through another video shared by a fan, it is evident that someone from the audience is trying to pull the rapper's hair as she leans towards the crowd.

In an act of defense, the singer swings her arms with the microphone at the fan to free herself from the person who seems to be pulling her hair.

Shortly after the incident, the WAP singer took to Twitter to point out that there was no fight. She also replied to a fan who asked for a video of “the full fight,” saying that there was no fight. The 29-year-old singer added that her fan, and Twitter user @itsKenBarbie got the whole thing on their page.
