The incident occurred last weekend after a member of the audience appeared to throw water at the performer.

A video of the WAP star taking matters into her own hands at Drai's Beachclub was widely shared on social media at the time.

But she will now face no charges due to "insufficient evidence", police said.

"After a thorough review of this case and with the consultation from the Clark County District Attorney's Office, this case has been closed as having insufficient evidence," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement shared the PA news agency.
