Cardi B walked out of a California courtroom on Tuesday carrying the weight of victory after a civil lawsuit accusing her of physical assault was dismissed. The case, brought by Emani Ellis, had sought 24 million dollars in damages for alleged physical and psychological injuries tied to an incident in 2018. The judge ruled that Ellis did not provide enough evidence to prove her claims, granting Cardi B a decisive legal win that cleared her of civil responsibility.

A Courtroom Victory

The New York-born rapper expressed gratitude once the ruling was announced. She thanked her lawyers, the judge, and the press, while admitting she felt sad about missing the first day of school for her children. Standing outside the courthouse, she swore her innocence. “I know I have a reputation, but I swear that this time I am innocent,” she said. She warned that she would not hesitate to counter-sue anyone attempting what she described as a frivolous action in the future. “I work hard for my money, I am not going to give it away,” she told reporters.

Ellis, for her part, said she did not regret pursuing the case. “I do not want it to be overlooked. What she did to me was real,” she insisted. Cardi B later urged her fans not to harass Ellis on social media and called for the incident to be left in the past.

Cardi B and the Pen Incident

The victory, however, was quickly followed by another headline. As Cardi B left the courthouse and made her way to her vehicle, a reporter called out a question about her private life. He asked: “Cardi, some are saying that Offset is bragging that he got you pregnant for the fourth time. Do you think there will be a paternity problem with Stefon Diggs, your current partner?”

As captured by TMZ, the question triggered an immediate reaction. Cardi B, holding a pen she had been given for an autograph, threw it in the reporter’s direction and scolded him loudly. “Stop disrespecting me. Do not disrespect me,” she said. She challenged him directly on why he thought he had the right to pose such a question. “Do you see women asking me those kinds of questions? Why do you, as a man, think you can ask me that kind of question?” she demanded. She closed with a line that spread widely on social media: “Behave yourself. Did your mother not teach you to respect women?”

A Message Made Clear

The courtroom had given her a legal victory, but the steps outside became her own stage. In one swift reaction she reminded everyone that her personal life is not up for debate and that her children are not fodder for gossip. The pen may have been small, but the message carried weight: she will not accept questions that strip away her dignity.
