Why is Cardi B in court? From funny wig moments to non -filtered facial expressions, the rapper becomes viral for his “unequaled energy” on the stand.
Cardi B was in court this week – and becoming viral. The rapper “Bodak Yellow” is tried for a 2018 incident involving the security guard Emani Ellis, who accuses Cardi B – real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – of having attacked him during an altercation in an obstetrician office of Beverly Hills. Now, the clips of his testimony, as well as his appearance of a court by turning, are “even” on the internet.
So, what happens with the case of the Cardi B Court-and why does the Internet find it so funny? Here is an overview.
Why Cardi B is on trial
In 2018, Ellis was a security guard in the building where Cardi, who had not publicly announced her pregnancy with the first child Kulture at the time, went for a medical appointment.
Ellis claims that she saw Cardi and said her name by excitement, triggering a reaction of anger of the rapper. According to Ellis, Cardi accused her of telling other people she was in the doctor’s office, shouted obscenities and attacked her physically, leaving a scar on her face. Ellis described these allegations in a trial brought in 2020, accusing cardboard card, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress as well as negligence.
This trial is now being complained in a civil trial, which began on August 26 and which is held in Alhambra, California, near Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles Times, Ellis continues Cardi for $ 24 million ,.
What Cardi B says on stand
Cardi denied a large part of Ellis’s account when she was called upon to testify this week. But it is his famous emotional facial expressions and his responses who are on the stand of witnesses that have become viral on social networks.
When asked for the lawyer for the plaintiff Ron Rosen if she was physically capable of attacking Ellis, since she was pregnant at the time, Cardi replied: “I was pregnant. I couldn’t protect myself, even if I wanted to. It is like twice my size. ” When Rosen asked if Cardi thought that the security guard was overweight, Cardi just looked in the room, suggesting certain observers that she has indeed mean.
When asked by Rosen if Cardi had called his “big” client at the time of their argument, Cardi said: “No, I called him a dog”.
Another viral moment had to do with Cardi’s hair, which changed frequently during his testimony of several days. The rapper, who often changes his hairstyle with wigs, was questioned by Rosen about what his hair looked like on the day of the conflict with Ellis.
“Yesterday you had black hair, short hair. Today is blond and long. Which one is your real hair? Or are they both real? Rosen asked during his opposite perspective.
Cardi laughed before answering: “They are wigs.”
Rosen admitted that he “did not know that”, telling Cardi, “it’s a good wig today, then.”
Cardi should not regain a position and the trial closing arguments should start on September 2.
In the meantime, the Internet cannot have enough card time on the stand. In the comments section of an Instagram post of its viral moments, fans applauded the hilarious replicas of Cardi and expressions without excuse. One of them wrote: “His energy is unrivaled. Love it. ” Another added: “You can’t hate this lady even if you’ve tried. Just think if she gets a right diploma.” A third party said, “It must really be put on SNL. My daughter ate them. “
Cardi, from Bronx, is no stranger to comedy. She launched her career – and became famous for her liners – during a passage from 2015 to 2017 on the series of reality VH1 Love & Hip Hop: New York. After having become one of the most prosperous female rappers of all time, the artist appeared for a small but memorable comic role in the 2019 film Scammerswhere she returned to her strip club roots. In 2021, she appeared in Fast9 and Fast Xtwo films in the Fast and Furious franchise.
