Cardi B BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Cardi B has dominated headlines this week, at the center of a $24 million civil trial in Los Angeles over allegations stemming from a 2018 dispute with a security guard outside a Beverly Hills obstetrician's office while she was four months pregnant. The guard, Emani Ellis, claims Cardi cut her cheek with a chunk of acrylic nail and spat at her after heated words about privacy and alleged filming, but Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, forcefully denied all physical contact, describing Ellis as trying to provoke her for a payout. According to eyewitness testimony from both the clinic’s doctor and receptionist, Ellis appeared the aggressor—cornering Cardi and even causing injury to the receptionist during the commotion. These accounts supported Cardi’s version, offering her defense a notable boost. She maintained that her only concern was keeping her pregnancy and medical visit private, voicing how violated she felt at the time. Her courtroom statements, including pointed quips about pregnancy making her “disabled” and an amusing exchange over her ever-shifting glamorous wigs, were widely shared on social media, sparking viral moments and comparisons to Gwyneth Paltrow’s own infamous day in court, as Fox News noted. The trial has captivated both legal watchers and fans who relish Cardi’s signature mix of candor and humor under pressure.
Cardi also turned her LA appearances into fashion spectacles, drawing as much attention for her power suiting as her testimony. Harpers Bazaar highlighted her bold looks, from an icy-white structured blazer and gold-rimmed sunglasses to a fringed gray tweed suit accessorized with a showstopping Louis Vuitton bag and glossy heels, with wig changes that reportedly threw even opposing counsel off balance. Style outlets like HelloBeautiful described her courtroom fashion as runway-worthy, further fueling the buzz.
Businesswise, Cardi continued to flex her entrepreneurial muscle, confirming to Elle and AOL that she’s launching a fashion and beauty line in partnership with Revolve Group. She revealed hands-on involvement in strategy, product quality, and marketing, positioning herself for a major step outside music. Her vodka-infused whipped cream brand, Whipshots, remains a hot commodity, and she teased the imminent drop of a new album Am I the Drama?—with the single Imaginary Playerz, sampling Jay-Z, and a moody video traversing New York, Mykonos, and Paris, as reported by Dailyfly.
While speculation abounds regarding the court outcome, verified testimony has substantively swung in her favor. No confirmed social media controversies have emerged in the past few days beyond viral court clips. With sharp business moves, major music releases, and show-stealing trial moments, Cardi B’s week has been high stakes, high impact, and quintessentially headline-making.
