The UFC legend also mentioned that lip-syncing, in which an artist pretends to perform while their songs are being played in the background, is a repetitive offense. Moreover, the fact that the Attorney General has taken no action despite the video evidence has surprised Chael Sonnen. He added, “Multimillion dollar repetitive crime caught on tape. Attorney General, silent.” Let’s see what actually happened during the concert.
The rapper’s lip sync gets exposed
Throwing objects at performers may have become a terrible trend among fans. However, artists pretending to sing when people pay their hard-earned money to watch them live are becoming more and more popular as well. Cardi B was performing at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas. It appeared as though she was singing the song ‘Bodak Yellow’, which was a hit in 2018. However, the altercation with the fan exposed everything.
