Rapper Cardi B whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, is accused of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and false imprisonment in a lawsuit that stems from an incident on February 24, 2018. February 24, 2018, Cardi B went to a private appointment with her obstetrician at a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills. At the time, the rapper was approximately four months pregnant with her first child and was keeping the news of her pregnancy private and out of the tabloids. Emani Ellis, a security guard who was working in the building housing the doctor's office claims that Cardi B attacked her during that visit. Ellis claimed that in an unprovoked attack Cardi B 'violently, unlawfully, intentionally, suddenly and maliciously' hit her head, face and body, leaving her with physical and emotional damages. Ellis also claims that Cardi B spat on her and used multiple profanities and racial slurs. Cardi B's security guard is also accused of attacking Ellis. The lawsuit additionally accuses Cardi B of working with unnamed people to have all recorded footage of the incident erased.
