Cardi B just closed a wild court fight. A jury in Los Angeles said she did no harm. The case came from a 2018 row. It took place outside a doctor’s clinic.

The guard, Emani Ellis, said the star hurt her face. She blamed a three-inch nail and spit. She also claimed fear, pain, and a forced hold. She asked for $24m in pay.
How the 2018 row first blew up
At the time, Cardi kept her baby news quiet. A camera phone came close, and she felt unsafe. She told the guard to step back. Tempers rose fast outside the clinic.
Ellis said Cardi struck her cheek with a long nail. She also said Cardi spat on her face.
Cardi denied both claims in strong terms. She said the guard kept filming and stood too close.
What the jury heard and then decided
In court, Cardi kept her claim clear and short. “I work all day and I work hard for my money,” she said. She added she works for her kids and her home. She told people she would not just settle.
The star did admit to loud words that day. However, she said she never laid a hand on Ellis. She said she felt a risk to her unborn child. She wanted space while she hid the pregnancy.
The jury heard both sides at length. Later on, it chose the rapper’s side. The big claim fell flat in the end. Cardi then asked fans to stay calm and kind.
