Cardi B will only address pregnancy rumors on her own time. She made that abundantly clear with a pen and scathing words \u2014 both directed to one brash and curious man. <\/p>\n
The Grammy-winning rapper was seen on camera hurling a pen at the man in the press pool as she left an Alhambra courthouse during the lunch break of her civil assault trial. According to footage shared by ABC7<\/a> and TMZ<\/a>, the man speaks up from the press pool asking Cardi B about her relationships with ex-husband Offset and boyfriend Stefon Diggs<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cInsiders are claiming that Offset is publicly bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time,\u201d he says. \u201cDo you foresee any paternity issues with Stefon Diggs?\u201d<\/p>\n As he poses the question, Cardi walks over to another individual holding a pen and waiting for her autograph. She takes the pen from his hand and throws it in the direction of the inquirer. \u201cStop disrespecting me,\u201d she fires back, before her team surrounds her. <\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t disrespect me,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n Cardi B shares three young children with Offset. They married in 2017 and went their separate ways in 2024. They were previously headed for divorce in 2020, but seemingly made amends. She went official<\/a> with NFL star Diggs earlier this year. It\u2019s unclear how exactly the pregnancy rumors<\/a> began. <\/p>\n After the heated exchange on Tuesday, the man tells Cardi B, \u201cI still love you even though you just threw some stuff at me.\u201d <\/p>\n She did not share the same feelings. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care. You\u2019re disrespectful, don\u2019t do that. Do you see women asking those types of questions to me?\u201d Cardi B said as she walked to her SUV. \u201cWhy do you feel, as a man, you get to ask me those types of questions? Act like you have some manners. And your mama taught you, respect women.\u201d<\/p>\n She imparted a final message to the press from the vehicle: \u201cYou\u2019re not going to see me out today, and you can thank him. I\u2019m not playing around. I was very nice. I was very kind.\u201d<\/p>\n The 32-year-old \u201cBodak Yellow\u201d and \u201cWAP\u201d hip-hop star prevailed Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought against her by a Beverly Hills security guard after two days of testimony. Emani Ellis sued Cardi B for $24 million, accusing her of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the aftermath of a confrontation in a hallway outside of an obstetrician\u2019s office. Ellis claimed that the rapper scratched her with a long nail extension, leaving a facial scar.<\/p>\n Cardi B was found not liable on all counts by jurors after less than an hour of deliberations.<\/p>\n \u201cI swear to God, I will say it on my deathbed, I did not touch that woman,\u201d Cardi B said outside the courthouse following the conclusion of the trial. She added that she had missed her kids\u2019 first day of school because of the civil trial.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to thank my lawyers,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to thank the jurors, I want to thank the judge, and I want to thank the respectful press.\u201d<\/p>\n Times staff writer Richard Winton contributed to this report. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
