Cardi B has stirred up speculation among fans with a recent TikTok video that some interpreted as evidence of a fake pregnancy. After rumors circulated that she is expecting a child with her boyfriend, NFL star Stefan Diggs, the rapper’s video showed what appeared to be a stuffed stomach. This left many questioning the authenticity of her pregnancy claims. The video surfaced after Cardi attended a court hearing regarding a civil suit, leading to further confusion among her followers. While some believe she is orchestrating a clever ruse, others think the gossip is unfounded. Critics pointed out that Cardi did not reveal her stomach in the video, inviting skepticism about her claims. The debate continues as fans express their opinions on social media, with many calling for clarity from the artist.
In other news, Cardi B recently emerged victorious in a civil suit filed against her by a security guard, who claimed she assaulted him during a visit to her OBGYN while pregnant with her first daughter, Culture. The $24 million lawsuit was dismissed after a lack of credible evidence. Testimonies from the doctor and the receptionist at the clinic contradicted the security guard’s allegations, with the receptionist even indicating that she herself had been assaulted by the same guard. Cardi expressed her relief at the verdict, affirming her innocence and criticizing the professionalism of the opposing legal counsel.
In a separate incident, rappers Sexy Red and Sukiana are facing a wrongful death lawsuit following a tragic shooting that occurred during the filming of Sexy Red’s music video in Oakland Park, Florida. The incident, which took place on September 14, 2023, left 36-year-old Anthony Dennis dead after he was shot during an attempted robbery at a nearby Chevron gas station. Dennis’s friend was also injured in the attack, sustaining severe physical and emotional trauma. In the aftermath, Dennis’s family has filed a lawsuit against nine defendants, including the rappers, the gas station, and the venue where the video shoot occurred.
The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of all defendants, claiming they failed to provide adequate security in a known high-crime area. The plaintiffs argue that Sexy Red, who heavily promoted the video shoot on social media, bears responsibility for drawing a large crowd to an unsafe location. The suit also implicates the artists’ record label, Rebel One LLC, citing its association with artists linked to violent incidents. The plaintiffs contend that the rappers should have taken preventative measures, such as hiring security personnel and ensuring safety protocols were in place.
As the legal proceedings unfold, public sentiment is divided. Some argue that the artists should be held accountable for the safety of attendees at their events, while others feel the blame should not rest solely on their shoulders. The tragic loss of life has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of artists in managing crowd safety during public events, especially in areas with heightened risks.
As the lawsuits progress, the music community watches closely, eager to see how these cases will shape perceptions of artist accountability in the wake of violence associated with their events.
