The trial took place on Tuesday, September 2, and ended in Cardi B’s favor, as a judge dismissed the accusation filed by Emani Ellis. Ellis had claimed that the singer scratched her face during a confrontation at a clinic in 2018, but the security guard was unable to prove the allegations of violence.
However, just moments after winning the case, Cardi B lost her temper. Before giving statements about how the court proceedings had unfolded, a reporter asked her about her pregnancy. The rapper chose violence over words and ended up throwing a marker at him.
Cardi B Attacks a Reporter Right After Winning Trial
After the hearing, Cardi B was asked about her rumored relationship with New England Patriots player Stephon Diggs. A journalist pressed further, questioning whether the baby she is expecting belonged to the athlete or to her ex-partner, rapper Offset (Kiari Cephus). The invasive question enraged Cardi, who threw a marker at the reporter.
In the video, Cardi B can be clearly seen outside the courthouse. While it is still unknown whether the reporter will take legal action against the artist, many users have criticized her reaction, pointing out that this is not the first time she has had such an outburst. Back in 2022, she threw a microphone at a fan who splashed water on her during a performance.
Still, others have focused on the behavior of paparazzi in the U.S., criticizing the type of questions thrown at celebrities in public. Many argued that the reporter’s question was “out of place” and inappropriate, especially toward Cardi B, who is currently expecting a child.
Here’s the video of the incident:
