News47.us has the latest updates on Cardi B’s viral trial below.
Cardi B was accused by security guard Emani Ellis of assaulting her in 2018 at an obstetrician’s office in Beverly Hills, California. Cardi alleged that Ellis was recording her without consent in the office and instead there was no physical altercation — only a verbal argument. At the time, the “WAP” rapper was pregnant, and she wanted to keep it private.

“She couldn’t get a scratch from me because I didn’t touch her,” Cardi claimed on the stand. “She didn’t touch me. She was going to touch me, but she didn’t get to touch me.”
Ellis denied filming Cardi B and claimed the argument turned physical, alleging that Cardi spat on her and cut her cheek with her fingernails. Ellis is suing Cardi for $24 million in damages.
