Cardi B took the witness stand in Los Angeles, firmly denying claims that she assaulted security guard Emani Ellis. The rapper admitted she was furious during the 2018 altercation but maintained it never turned violent. At the time, Cardi was four months pregnant and feared her secret would be revealed in public. She told the jury that Ellis trailed her with a phone, sparking a heated confrontation. The testimony also revolved around Cardi’s long acrylic nails and whether they could have caused the alleged injury. Ellis, however, testified that she was scarred, humiliated, and is now demanding $24 million in damages. A doctor’s office receptionist sided with Cardi, stating she only witnessed yelling, not a physical fight.
