Cardi B has revealed that her forthcoming album, Am I The Drama?, will feature a ‘courtroom edition,’ following the widespread publicity generated by her behavior during her civil trial for assault.
In a recent development, the 32-year-old rapper found herself in the clear on Tuesday following a decision by a Los Angeles jury, who supported her in a multi-million dollar lawsuit worth $24 million. The lawsuit was instigated due to an alleged confrontation that occurred in 2018.
As a lifestyle advocate, I’d like to clarify an unfortunate incident that recently made headlines involving me, known as Cardi B in the public eye. There have been accusations that I behaved inappropriately towards a security guard named Emani Ellis during an altercation at a doctor’s office. Allegedly, she followed and filmed me, which led to a heated exchange where I am said to have spit on her, struck her, and even scratched her face with my fingernail. However, I want to emphasize that I value peace and respect above all, and I strive to maintain a positive image in my personal and professional life. The details of the situation are currently under investigation, and I encourage everyone to await the findings before forming an opinion.
In 2020, Ellis filed a lawsuit, but this week, Cardi B emerged triumphant, concluding an entertaining trial that made news for her sarcastic expressions, flamboyant fashion choices, and changing hairstyles at each court appearance.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d rephrase that sentence like this: I’m capitalizing on the recent commotion by releasing special, limited-edition CD collections of my album “Am I The Drama?” These exclusive editions feature fresh cover interpretations, showcasing personal photos from my trial.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Pre-order now on Cardi’s website for one of the three breathtaking cover options of her upcoming ‘courthouse’ CD. The official release date is set for September 19, but grabbing it early means I get to savor the anticipation a little longer!
Instead of the CD priced at $10, she has also offered a vinyl version of the ‘courtroom edition’ online for $39.98. This special edition features the original Am I The Drama? album cover with an image of her on the stand as the central label on the actual disc.
Sharing the exciting news on Instagram, she posted: ‘Here it is!… Due to high demand, the courtroom version of “Am I The Drama?” is now accessible!’
Audience members burst into laughter in the comments section, with one person posting: “Cardi B, go to hell,” accompanied by several emoticons depicting tears of joy.
Others cheered: ‘Your marketing team deserves a raise!’, ‘Fantastic!’, ‘You’re spending too much time playing’, and: ‘ROFL, I need more of that Cardi B merchandise! Better stock up, buddy!’
Cardi was praised for making a particularly brilliant decision, as one admirer exclaimed: ‘Wow, she’s devouring this launch with such skill!’ Another fan added: ‘I simply must get this one. I adore her so much!’
During the trial, utter confusion reigned – at one stage, Cardi angrily threw a pen towards a journalist who had the audacity to inquire about her pregnancy status.
She triumphantly marked her victory over the case, as is her distinctive style (Cardi B’s style), with a lively dance performance on Instagram, captivating millions, on a typical Wednesday.
In the middle of the music video, the rapper, while wearing a blazer with polka dots, decided to remove her top, revealing a thong. She then began to dance provocatively in front of the camera, hinting at her forthcoming single titled “Bodega Baddie.
She concluded the video with her distinctive style, playfully smacking her well-known derriere and giving a middle finger gesture, all while wearing an enormous grin.
Following the announcement of the verdict the previous day, Cardi shared with reporters that it had been quite challenging for her to manage the court proceedings, all while attempting to promote her project named “Am I the Drama?”.
Additionally, she shared a brief look at how the trial took away valuable time with her kids, since it was their opening day at school on Tuesday.
If anyone attempts a baseless legal action against me, I will retaliate by filing a lawsuit of my own. Moreover, I’ll ensure that they bear the costs, as such behavior is unacceptable,” she asserted.
People seem to mistakenly believe that celebrities will easily comply with requests, thinking, “We can ask for this, and they’ll just give in…” But let me tell you, there’s no way I’d sue you, only to settle and hand over my money. That’s never going to happen, she asserted firmly.
Cardi also again claimed that she was innocent despite the claim against her.
As a die-hard devotee, let me assure you unequivocally, if ever I find myself on my deathbed, I’d still raise a finger in protest, swearing by heaven and earth – I never laid a hand on that woman.
Ellis also spoke with reporters after losing her lawsuit.
She expressed her belief that the verdict did not align with reality, yet she was not disheartened. Put simply, she acknowledged the imperfections within the legal system, and it seemed this time it didn’t work in her favor.
She stated that the matter centered around responsibility, and Ellis further emphasized, ‘I had my day in the judicial system, I appeared, I carried myself with dignity.’
During the heated court case over her viral altercation, the performer of “Bodak Yellow,” currently in a relationship with NFL athlete Stefon Diggs, became agitated when a reporter questioned whether she was expecting, and she responded by throwing a pen at him as the trial’s verdict was about to be announced outside an LA courthouse.
Outside the court, following the announcement of the verdict, she assured reporters with conviction: “Regardless of my final moments, should they find me on my deathbed, I solemnly swear by God’s grace, I will still maintain my innocence. I categorically deny any wrongdoing towards that woman.
Earlier, there were rumors swirling about Cardi possibly being pregnant with her fourth child by her former husband Offset, which prompted Cardi to express her feelings in a passionate outburst.
In the video obtained by the Daily Mail, Cardi was visibly upset and said, “You’re crossing a line with that disrespect. Please respect me.” As her bodyguard guided her toward her waiting car, she continued on her way.
The Daily Mail has contacted Cardi’s representative for comment.
I can’t help but feel disrespected,” I found myself saying firmly, as the man persisted in addressing me while I was making my way towards my car. “It seems unfair and out of line, don’t you think? Aren’t you observing that women aren’t usually asked such questions by others like this?
She remarked, ‘What gives you, as a gentleman, the right to pose such questions to me? Demonstrate some courtesy and remember the lesson your mother taught you: ‘Treat women with respect.’
On that particular day, Cardi’s lawyer, Peter Anderson, delivered his final statement, claiming that Ellis had acted irrationally and lost control during their meeting in 2018, suggesting a state of extreme agitation or uncontrolled anger.
According to Anderson (Rolling Stone), the Plaintiff approached Cardi while shouting loudly, causing Cardi to step back.
It’s alleged that he asserted Ellis was a fan of Cardi who believed the celebrity would visit the ob-gyn’s office that day. Implication being, she was planning to capture photos and videos of Cardi, waiting in ambush.
Anderson additionally stated: ‘She wasn’t sure if the mark supposedly changing her life was even bleeding. So, what did she do? According to her account, Cardi allegedly attacked her, causing a facial wound, but instead of seeking immediate help, she went home and slept. This was her own statement.’
He firmly maintained that his client was not at fault, but only acted to safeguard her infant and seek medical attention.
In his statement, he clarified that while arguments, loud discussions, or the use of strong language might occur, such instances are generally not grounds for legal action. He further emphasized that such behaviors are simply common aspects of everyday life.
In simpler terms, during his closing statements, Ron Rosen Janfaza, representing Ellis, asserted that his client had been mistreated, suffered harm, and was physically attacked and beaten up by Cardi B. Consequently, he emphasized that Cardi B should be held accountable for these actions.
The hip-hop artist, known for her WAP hits, is gaining widespread attention for her captivating courtroom demeanor during her trial. She’s been making funny facial expressions and delivering sharp, witty replies to questions posed to her.
During her first pregnancy’s fourth month, Cardi found herself strolling through an obstetrician’s office in Beverly Hills. Unbeknownst to her, Ellis, an employee at the building, started trailing her and secretly videotaping her with a mobile phone.
Instead of the initial report, the songwriter refuted any claims of physical altercations between them. However, they did acknowledge using the term ‘bitch’ when confronting Ellis.
During the ongoing trial, clips of Cardi B’s witty remarks, ironic facial expressions, and humorous moments that caused laughter in the courtroom have become popular online, sparking viral reactions across various social media platforms.
Onlookers following the trial via social media erupted in laughter due to what they perceived as her casual demeanor on the witness stand, and some went so far as to liken the amusing court proceedings to a popular reality TV program.
Fans on Instagram playfully expressed admiration for Cardi B: “‘Cardi, I’d die for you!’ They also noted her humor, intelligence, and confidence: “She’s just hilarious! She’s incredibly smart, has a great grasp of the industry, and couldn’t care less what others think!
‘The lawyer trying to be sarcastic but she IS sarcasm’, ‘She’s everything on the stand.’
In a different wording: ‘The attorney believed his witty remarks would outmatch Cardi, however, dear Cardi, she frequently encounters and handles sarcasm.’
1. “I adore her so much!” (This conveys the enthusiasm and affection from ‘Omg love her’ while using more formal language.)
2. “She has devoured him completely, can’t you tell?” (This maintains the energy of ‘CARDI ATE HIM TF UP’ but rephrases it in a clearer way, emphasizing her strong affection.)
3. “She truly deserves recognition. I simply adore her.” (Similar to ‘She deserves a show. Love her’, this version uses more formal language and reinforces the admiration for her.)
4. “I’ll binge-watch three whole seasons of whatever she’s in.” (This mirrors the sentiment of ‘I will watch 3 seasons of this.’ but provides more context, suggesting a deep interest or fascination with her performances.)
A well-circulated video clip features Cardi being questioned about whether her hair is genuine or a wig.
On Tuesday, the rapper appeared in court wearing a blonde wig, marking a stark contrast to her short, jet-black pixie cut from the day before.
During his cross-examination, the lawyer inquired of the Grammy-winner, “Yesterday you had short, black hair. Today it’s long and blonde. Which color is your natural hair? Or could it be that both styles are genuine?
Taken aback by the attorney’s bizarre question, Cardi laughed and responded, ‘They’re wigs.’
‘OK. Sorry, I didn’t know that. It’s a good wig today, then’, the lawyer replied.
After the verdict was announced, Cardi playfully referred to the discussion and the curiosity about her hairdos during interviews with journalists.
She playfully emphasized to the audience, “When I claim my forehead is sore from switching so many wigs – it’s really sore, sore, sore!
On various instances throughout the trial, Cardi’s humorous character brought laughter to everyone present in the courtroom when she testified.
Throughout her testimony, Cardi B was consistently inquired about whether or not she had a disability at the time of the incident.
‘Are you disabled, yes or no?’, an attorney asked her.
In response to the court, Cardi humorously quipped, “Right now, during pregnancy, I’m quite limited. Are you asking me about things I can’t do?
She added: ‘I couldn’t protect myself even if I wanted to, she’s like twice my size.’
Fans were frequently left laughing out loud due to Cardi’s amusing and straightforward facial expressions during the unfolding events, which they watched via social media.
‘Did you say she’s bigger than you?’, the attorney asked.
‘Absolutely… I mean look [Cardi pointed to her eyes and then towards the security guard].’
The attorney continued: ‘Are you saying she’s physically bigger? Taller?’
Cardi said: ‘I mean you have her medical records, right?’
‘I don’t have anything I’m the one asking you the questions’, the attorney said.
Cardi stated, “At that time, I weighed around 130 pounds,” and this prompted the lawyer to remark, “Does that mean you consider her overweight, in your judgment?
As the judge addresses her, Cardi replies with a shrug, saying something like ‘She’s somewhat…’
The attorney inquired, “Were you mocking her for being overweight while we were both in the hallway?
Cardi blunted put: ‘I don’t think so… No, I was calling her a b****’
During this week’s trial, Cardi frequently displayed sarcastic facial expressions and cheeky replies that ignited several heated moments with the defense lawyer on numerous occasions.
Initially, my straightforward demeanor provoked a swift response from the defense attorney, causing me to chuckle in surprise and momentary speechlessness.
Cardi made it clear that she wasn’t in an extremely agitated state, but rather, she was deeply worried and quite anxious about the situation.
‘And why were you concerned?’, an attorney asked her.
Cardi said: ‘Because I’m pregnant and this girl is about to f****** beat my ass. Hello?’
‘Hello. Hello, I’m here’, the attorney snapped back.
The mother of three stepped into the courtroom wearing a stylish two-piece grey tweed suit adorned with a fringe, her hair cascading in large, bouncy golden curls.
On Monday, Ellis painted a markedly different picture compared to her testimony. According to her, there was an altercation where Cardi allegedly threw a punch, spat, and scratched her, causing a wound on her cheek.
Ellis also accused Cardi, who called her ‘big’ during her testimony, of ‘body-shaming’ her.
On Tuesday, during Cardi’s courtroom testimony broadcasted on Court TV, an attorney inquired: “Did you attempt to hit her (Ellis)?” To this, Cardi simply replied, “No.
Cardi insisted the two had a ‘verbal fight’ but that it ‘didn’t get physical at all.’
According to Cardi, Ellis arrived just as she was departing, and from what she overheard on the phone, Ellis was excitedly exclaiming, “Oh my God, y’all. Cardi B is present!
Well, I’ve got this habit of quick-paced strolling, and it felt like she was right there with me, you know? So, I turned around and inquired from Ellis, “Hey, what’s up with the filming?” Seemed like she had been capturing my little moment.
She was obviously dressed as a security guard, with her uniform on. I asked, ‘Why are you filming me, don’t you work here?’ To which she responded, ‘Oh, I apologize.’
Cardi said she started walking again, but continued to sense Ellis behind her.
Cardi turned around once more and said, “What are you doing here? Don’t you have other duties as a security guard?” To which they replied, “I just happen to be here.” But Cardi persisted, saying, “Aren’t you supposed to protect me? Not shadow me like this?
According to Cardi, the security guard moved progressively nearer and eventually they had a disagreement. Later, Cardi asserted that Ellis violated her personal space.
As a devoted admirer, I find myself standing remarkably close to her right now. So, I repeatedly advise her to take a step back. In my mind, I couldn’t help but think, “She’s quite large, truly substantial.” And amidst all this, I chuckle. (Cardi B’s words)
In simpler terms, Cardi acknowledged that there was a heated exchange between them, during which they exchanged harsh words, and he admitted using a derogatory term towards her, specifically referring to her as a disrespectful woman or a rude female.
‘I did say b***h get the f**k out of my face. You’re in my face. You’re screaming in my face.’
Cardi went on to say: “She insisted that I was going to depart from her building. But I wasn’t planning to leave. I was confused as to why she was telling me to leave when I had come to visit a doctor. She seemed to be following me and recording me. All I wanted was to check on my cat, yet she continued to record me.
At some point, Cardi allegedly asserted that the receptionist stepped out, following which Ellis started insisting that Cardi had physically confronted or attacked her.
I swear, I didn’t touch her. If I wanted to, I couldn’t because she’s taller than me.
Cardi politely refused the doctor’s invitation to follow him to his office, choosing instead to leave on her own.
Cardi admitted she did not see proof of the alleged video recording.
In a recent conversation, when discussing an event that unfolded, I expressed, “There was no physical interaction between us. Therefore, from my perspective, it didn’t feel like a significant occurrence.
‘Was there spitting?’ one of the attorney’s asked.
‘Absolutely not,’ she replied.
‘Did you spit on Miss Ellis?’
‘No,’ the musician insisted.
‘Did you call her the N word?’
‘No,’ Cardi replied.
Yesterday, it was Ellis who took the stand. She recounted what she claims were harsh words directed at her by Cardi, and further detailed an incident where the rapper allegedly stuck out her tongue, wildly moved her arms, and jumped up and down.
Apart from criticizing her physique (body shaming), Ellis alleged that Cardi also employed offensive racial language. When questioned about whether Cardi spat on her, Ellis confirmed, “Yes, she did.
In the heart of the courtroom, I found myself standing, buzzing with excitement as Ellis took the stand. With a fresh, sleek hairstyle and a chic black blazer adorning my figure, I was fully embracing my fandom.
According to court papers acquired by TMZ in 2020, accusations were made that the rapper intentionally hit Ellis on the head, face, and body with harmful intent.
In court records obtained by TMZ back in 2020, it was claimed that the rapper viciously attacked Ellis, striking him in the head, face, and body.
Moreover, Ellis, identifying as African-American, alleges that Cardi B not only spat at her but also employed offensive language and racial epithets.
The reported incident transpired at a healthcare facility, following Cardi’s visit for an appointment, during which she was carrying her firstborn, Kulture, who wasn’t yet publicly revealed to be on the way.
Based on accounts from TMZ, it appears that the security guard attempted to capture videos or photos of the star while she was in a doctor’s office. However, the rapper known as the Bodak Yellow hitmaker asked her to cease this activity, as she did not wish to be recorded in such a setting.
Witnesses reported that the security guard became angry during a verbal exchange, which was then intervened by a member of the building staff. Fortunately, neither the celebrity nor the guard engaged in any physical violence, and no racial insults were hurled.
Additionally, the court papers indicate that after the incident, Cardi B allegedly leveraged her fame to arrange for Ellis’ dismissal from his position as a security officer.
The medical building’s representative informed TMZ that it was Cardi B’s doctor and patient coordinator who decided to dismiss the security guard, due to concerns he had breached her privacy. This occurred because the guard disclosed information that Cardi herself had given her approval to share.
Ellis had sued the I Like It hitmaker for assault, battery, and infliction of emotional distress.
Cardi B has often found herself in the midst of disputes, as she faced charges for two counts of assault in relation to two distinct altercations that occurred at Angel’s Strip Club in Flushing, Queens, in August of 2019. She is accused of attacking two bartenders in these incidents.
Law enforcement officials claim that the alleged assault on the two sisters was instigated due to the belief by the rapper that one of them had been romantically involved with her former spouse, Offset.
As a lifestyle advisor, I found myself in a situation where I accepted a plea deal for misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and reckless endangerment last September, 2022. The outcome was 15 days of community service as part of my punishment.
During a 2023 concert in Las Vegas, Cardi found herself involved in a legal dispute when she allegedly threw a microphone towards the audience, striking a female attendee during an incident at her show. This led to charges of assault and battery against her.
