  • Cardi B Cleared in $24 Million Assault Lawsuit

    Cardi B has officially won her $24 million assault and battery case. After days of testimony, a jury found the rapper not liable for damages in the lawsuit brought against her by former security guard Emani Ellis, marking a significant legal victory for the artist.

    Jury Sides With Cardi B

    The lawsuit, filed in 2020, accused Cardi B of spitting on and using racial slurs against Ellis during an alleged incident in 2018. While Cardi B admitted to a verbal altercation, she denied any physical contact. The jury’s verdict on Tuesday, September 2, cleared the rapper of all charges, meaning she does not have to pay any damages.

    Following the verdict, Cardi B reportedly plans to countersue Ellis. She claims the security guard violated her privacy by recording her during a doctor’s visit while she was pregnant with her first child, Kulture. Cardi B’s legal team also questioned Ellis’s licensing as a talent agent and the corporate recognition of her management company.

    Pregnancy Rumors and Courtroom Drama

    Adding to the day’s events, earlier on Tuesday, Cardi B had a public confrontation with a paparazzo who questioned her about pregnancy rumors. Amidst speculation fueled by her appearance, the rapper threw a marker and condemned the photographer for asking intrusive questions, emphasizing the need for respect towards women. She later posted a video of herself dancing in her courtroom attire, revealing a corset under her shirt, seemingly to address the ongoing pregnancy rumors.

    While the jury’s decision is a clear win for Cardi B, the pregnancy rumors continue to swirl. Regardless, the rapper is clearly overjoyed about being cleared in the assault and battery case, celebrating the vindication of her name.
