Grammy
Award-winning
artist
Cardi
B
has
a
new
trophy-worthy
achievement
under
her
belt
—
she
beat
the
case!
Some
background
for
starters:
Cardi
B
was
sued
by
a
former
security
guard
for
$24M
who
alleged
Cardi
scratched
her
face
with
her
fingernail
and
spat
on
her.
While
many
celebrities
would
rather
keep
things
hush
and
settle
out
of
court,
Cardi
B
had
the
time
to
fight
the
case.
The
accusations
were
taken
to
trial
and
produced
some
very
memorable
moments
ranging
from
hair
care
inquiry
to
a
very
colorful
descriptions
of
the
security
guard
during
her
time
at
the
stand:
Expect
to
hear
“security
heavy”
pop
up
in
conversations
from
here
on
out.
As
far
as
the
legal
side
of
things
goes,
the
biggest
takeaway
is
that
Cardi
B
was
emboldened
by
her
win,
warning
anyone
who
might
try
their
hand
at
her
cash
in
court
that
she
won’t
be
backing
down.
Associated
Press
has
coverage:
“The
next
person
who
tries
to
do
a
frivolous
lawsuit
against
me,
I’m
going
to
counter-sue,
and
I’m
gonna
make
you
pay,
because
this
is
not
OK,”
she
said
outside
the
courthouse,
where
she
posed
for
pictures
with
fans.
“I
am
not
that
celeb
that
you
sue,
and
you
think
is
going
to
settle.
I’m
not
gonna
settle.
Especially
when
I’m
super
completely
innocent.”
Good
to
know,
though
she
may
have
set
the
groundwork
for
a
future
suit
during
this
one:
During
a
lunchbreak
before
the
verdict
Tuesday
in
a
moment
captured
by
cameras
from
several
media
outlets,
she
threw
a
marker
she
was
using
for
autographs
at
a
man
who
shouted
questions
to
her
about
whether
she
was
currently
pregnant,
and
who
the
father
is.
She
called
the
questions
disrespectful.
For
what
it’s
worth,
asking
for
$24M
over
a
flying
Sharpie
is
probably
a
harder
sell
than
the
scratch-and-spit
case
that
just
went
down.
