American rapper Cardi B has been making headlines in recent weeks over a legal battle with a Beverly Hills security guard who accused her of assault in 2018. After days of court proceedings, the jury cleared Cardi of all liability, bringing the high-profile case to an end. After being cleared in the assault lawsuit of 24 million US dollars, the rapper hit back with an explosive warning against anyone who tries to sue her in the future for bogus reasons.
The lawsuit that sparked headlines
Cardi B was charged in a lawsuit filed by her former security guard, Emani Ellis, alleging that the rapper had assaulted her in 2018 during a visit to her obstetrician’s office in Beverly Hills. Ellis claimed that the rapper, who was four months pregnant with her first child with Offset, scratched her face with a long fingernail and spat on her, leaving injuries that required plastic surgery. Ellis, in her charges, also claimed that Cardi B’s celebrity status caused her to lose her job and left her with lasting emotional scars.
