The civil case against the famed rapper Cardi B, related to a 2018 incident and allegations of assaulting security guard Emani Ellis, has entered a new phase. Throughout the court sessions, strange questions about Cardi’s appearance and potential ties to criminal gangs have sparked widespread reactions in media and social networks.
Details of Cardi B’s Controversial Trial
One noteworthy aspect of the trial involved questioning Cardi B about her hair. The plaintiff’s lawyer asked whether her hair was real or artificial. Cardi, laughing, responded, “They are wigs.” When the lawyer further questioned whether any of her hair was real, Cardi B firmly reiterated that her hair was entirely artificial.
Unexpectedly, the questioning shifted to Cardi B’s possible connections with criminal gangs, which led to strong objections from the rapper’s legal team. The judge promptly accepted the objections and ordered the line of questioning to stop. Earlier, Cardi B’s lawyers had requested to remove any references regarding her past, including gang ties and addiction issues, arguing these could unfairly prejudice the jury’s judgment.
Another major topic in the trial was Cardi B’s nails. The plaintiff’s lawyer probed whether Cardi B’s nails could cause injury. Cardi B explained that her nails were short, rounded, and shaped like “opal,” measuring less than an inch. She also mentioned that applying three-inch nails could take several hours depending on the material. This matter gained importance after the plaintiff alleged Cardi B attacked her using long nails, a claim Cardi B strongly denies.
Emani Ellis, a security guard working at a Beverly Hills medical office in 2018, testified that the encounter with Cardi turned physical and that she was attacked by the rapper. She claims to have suffered physical and psychological injuries from the incident.
In contrast, Cardi B’s attorney challenged these claims, arguing that Ellis was aggressive, tried to record the rapper without permission, and that Cardi was protecting herself and her unborn child as she was pregnant at the time and never physically touched Ellis.
This case has drawn extensive media and social media attention, becoming one of the most controversial legal matters of 2025.
