"In one moment shared by legal reporter Meghann Cuniff, the lawyer gets confused because Cardi switched wigs for day two of her testimony. "Which one is your real hair, or are they both real?" he asks, to which Cardi responds, through giggles, "They're wigs." In another, he asks the rapper to explain the size and shape of her nails in detail."
"Cardi testifies that, as a pregnant woman, she was scared of Ellis. "She is like, security-heavy," Cardi said. "She just looks a little like she could protect the building." In questioning, the lawyer asks Cardi if she thought Ellis was "overweight" at the time, which Cardi's lawyer objects to, and the judge sustains. "You don't have to answer that," the judge says, while Cardi shrugs and makes a face."
Cardi B testified in an assault lawsuit stemming from a 2018 altercation with security guard Emani Ellis, who alleges Cardi cut her face with a fingernail and spat at her. Cardi denied the allegations, saying she saw Ellis recording her, asked the guard to stop, and was followed. Cardi told the court Ellis is "suing me for $24 million." Viral moments came from Cardi's bemused exchanges with Ellis's lawyer, including questions about wigs and nail size. The judge admonished lawyers to calm down during heated questioning. Cardi said she felt scared while pregnant and shrugged at an objected question about Ellis's weight.
