Cardi B won a civil trial that everyone was watching. A jury in Los Angeles decided in her favor after just a short time thinking about the case. The rapper was sued by a former security guard named Emani Ellis, who claimed she had assaulted, harmed, been negligent, and caused emotional pain during a 2018 meeting at a Beverly Hills clinic.
The court ruled on September 3, saying all of Ellis’s claims were not true, which was a big win for Cardi B. The jury found that Ellis didn’t provide enough proof to support her accusations, so Cardi B wasn’t responsible. During the trial, she stayed calm and was praised for being honest and funny while speaking in court. Some of her moments on the stand went viral, showing how she can still grab attention even in a serious legal situation.
This case got a lot of attention because it involved a famous person and because it showed how difficult it can be for artists to deal with legal issues in the public eye.
Cardi B’s legal team said the lawsuit was just a way to get money, and the quick decision shows that the jury agreed with that view.
After the ruling, Cardi B said she was upset about what she called “useless lawsuits” and hinted she might take legal action against Ellis. She also told her fans not to hassle Ellis or her family, saying that the court decision was the closure she wanted.
This ruling ends a long-lasting disagreement that sometimes kept her from focusing on her music. With her new album, Am I the Drama?, set to come out later this month, the win gives her a chance to move past legal issues and focus again on her music.
