Earlier this year, she dropped the single &#8220;Outside,&#8221; while last month she gave fans a preview of what to expect with &#8220;Imaginary Playerz.&#8221; The record will drop on September 19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s a huge month for Cardi with her second album finally on the horizon, just weeks after a jury reached a unanimous decision clearing her of allegations of assault. The security guard, Emani Ellis, alleged that Cardi assaulted her in 2018 during one of Cardi&#8217;s visits to an obstetrics and gynecology facility in Beverly Hills. At the time, she was pregnant with her first child, Kulture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ellis claimed that she was scratched, assaulted, called a racial slur, spat at, and body-shamed by Cardi. She denied all of the allegations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cardi later addressed the verdict when she spoke to reporters outside of court. \u201cI want to thank the jurors,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/cardi-b-speaks-not-being-003949471.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:she said;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\">she said<\/a>. \u201cI want to thank the judge and I want to thank the respectful press\u2014I really appreciate that. &#8230; I swear to God, I did not touch that woman.
