À propos de cet audio
Cardi B has been at the epicenter of headlines these past few days, with both her music career and personal life setting the tone for what could be one of the most pivotal stretches in her biography. On August 25, Cardi B arrived at a Los Angeles courtroom to begin her civil assault trial regarding allegations from Emani Ellis, a security guard who claims Cardi attacked her in 2018 while four months pregnant with her first child. Ellis testified with raw emotion, stating that Cardi B struck her in the face, spat on her, and used racial slurs, claiming the physical scars and trauma required therapy. The case, which began jury selection just yesterday, centers on whether Cardi B acted out of fear that Ellis was trying to record her secretly during a doctor's appointment, with Cardi fiercely denying any physical contact and counterclaiming that Ellis was the aggressor. Social media exploded with images of Cardi's drastic black pixie cut and her courtroom poise, underscoring yet again that her fashion can turn a trial into a style moment. You know you’re a star when even a courtroom gets turned into a runway, as AllHipHop and Insta feeds showed her trending for both her legal proceedings and her outfit.
Simultaneously, Cardi B ratcheted up the drama in her music career. She sat down for a fresh interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 to promote her upcoming sophomore album Am I the Drama, openly confronting her knack for controversy. Cardi candidly admitted that beef with other female rappers is unavoidable, sharing “sometimes my light disturbs people’s peace,” and referencing constant feuds with stars ranging from Nicki Minaj to JT from City Girls. She called her critics “sophomores” while putting herself in the “senior” seat of hip hop’s school, insisting she’s always been a magnet for drama. Billboard highlighted the raw honesty of her self-reflection, as her new music explores this lifelong chase by headlines.
On the business front, Cardi B’s net worth hit a staggering $101.6 million in 2025, as reported by Stangrtheman and Accio, ranking her right behind Nicki Minaj in female rap earnings. Cardi’s empire extends far beyond rapping: with partnerships like Fashion Nova, Reebok, the McDonald's celebrity meal with Offset, and her history-making role as Playboy’s creative director, every business move amplifies her brand. Her latest promo for the single Imaginary Players took over Instagram, showing off the same boldness fans love on camera and in court.
Adding a political note, Cardi is set to speak at Kamala Harris’s rally in Milwaukee in early November, confirming her status as both a music icon and cultural voice. She continues leveraging social media and OnlyFans for fan engagement, offering $4.99 subscriptions for exclusive behind-the-scenes content—a pioneering move for a mainstream artist, as Music Ally reports.
Speculation remains regarding the outcome of her current trial, and it’s unclear how the verdict could affect her next album release and public image. Yet, true to Cardi’s narrative, whether the headlines are about fashion, courtrooms, streaming stats, or lyrical feuds, she’s refusing to let anyone else control her story.
