Rapper Cardi B caused an uproar on social media for tweeting \u2014 and then deleting \u2014 a photo of two Hasidic Jewish men shortly after learning that she would not be charged for an incident that took place during her recent concert.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grammy-winning singer threw her microphone into the crowd at her July 29 performance in Las Vegas after someone threw a drink at her on stage, as seen in videos shared on social media. A woman who said she was hit with the microphone filed a police report for battery but the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement on Thursday that due to \u201cinsufficient evidence,\u201d no charges will be filed against the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Alm\u00e1nzar.<\/span><\/p>\n

After police made the announcement, Cardi B tweeted<\/a> the exact picture that appears for the Wikipedia entry<\/a> \u201cJewish religious clothing.\u201d The photo shows two Hasidic men walking in Borough Park, a religious neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, while wearing traditional Hasidic clothing and accessories such as a shtreimel <\/em>hat, tallit,<\/em> a long black suit and a belt known as a gartel.<\/em> Cardi B simply wrote<\/a> in the photo\u2019s caption \u201cRemember \u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Twitter post may be related to her 2018 song Bickenheld,<\/em> which includes the lyrics: \u201cLawyer is a Jew, he gon\u2019 chew up all the charges.\u201d Cardi B\u2019s legal team that took care of the battery charge in Las Vegas reportedly included multiple Jewish attorneys and \u201cLawyer is a Jew\u201d was trending<\/a> on Twitter in the US following the rapper\u2019s tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bodak Yellow<\/em> singer shortly after deleted the photo from her Twitter account and while she may have been trying to applaud her Jewish lawyers with the post, many took offense to the photo. Jewish writer Eve Barlow said<\/a> the rapper \u201cincited violence against one of America\u2019s most vulnerable visible communities \u2013 Orthodox Jewish people, because she believes that we Jews all look the same and have all the power.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAppreciate you <\/span>@iamcardib <\/span>but tweeting out a vague picture of a visible minority that has been subject to rising hate crimes in NYC to your 31 million followers is just not acceptable,\u201d tweeted<\/a> Dovid Bashevkin, director of education for the Jewish youth movement NCSY. \u201cWhen hate is an option don\u2019t leave anyone guessing what you meant \u2026 If you want to show gratitude to your Jewish legal counsel then clearly write it to your 31 million followers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

International human rights lawyer <\/span>Arsen Ostrovsky added: <\/span><\/span>\u201cWords have consequences. <\/span>Antisemitism and violence against Jews in America, is already at an all-time high. Although she has since deleted this tweet (in reference to her lawyers), she never ought to have posted it all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
