Cardi B Cleared of Assault Charges in $24m Lawsuit - Legal Victory for Rapper

Rapper Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar Cephus, has been cleared of assault charges in a $24 million lawsuit by a Los Angeles jury. The case was filed by former security guard Emani Ellis, who alleged Cardi B attacked him outside a Beverly Hills obstetrician office in 2018.

Cardi B denied the accusations, stating the incident was purely verbal. After less than an hour of deliberation, the jury unanimously ruled in favor of Cardi B. The rapper expressed relief outside the courthouse, vehemently denying the false claims.

The lawsuit stemmed from an alleged altercation where Cardi B was accused of scratching Ellis' face, spitting, and using a racial slur. The ruling marks a legal victory for Cardi B in this high-profile case.
