You may have seen some hilarious memes, clips or, even videos of Cardi B in court and wondered why exactly she’s on the stand. Well, here’s what’s happening.
What’s Going On?
Cardi B is currently entangled in a civil lawsuit filed in 2020 by Emani Ellis, a former security guard.
Ellis alleges that Cardi assaulted, spat on, and scratched her face with a fingernail during an altercation outside a Beverly Hills gynecology office in February 2018, when Cardi was approximately four months pregnant—an event that was not public knowledge at the time.
Ellis is seeking a whopping $24 million in damages, accusing the rapper of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and false imprisonment.
