Cardi B has stirred up speculation among fans after posting a TikTok video that left many questioning her pregnancy status. In the video, Cardi appeared with a bulging midsection, fueling rumors that she is expecting a child with her boyfriend, NFL star Stefan Diggs. Following her court appearance, where she won a civil case against a security guard claiming she assaulted him, the video seemed to contradict her previous declarations that she was not pregnant. The mixed signals have led to a vigorous debate among fans, with some claiming she is playing a prank while others remain skeptical about her claims.
In a recent civil suit, Cardi B faced allegations from a security guard who sought $24 million, asserting that she assaulted him during a visit to her OBGYN when she was pregnant with her first child, Culture. However, the trial revealed inconsistencies in the guard’s claims, including testimony from a doctor and a receptionist who confirmed Cardi did not harm the guard. The case concluded in Cardi’s favor, with the artist expressing gratitude to her supporters and emphasizing her innocence throughout the ordeal.
Meanwhile, another controversy has emerged involving rappers Sexy Red and Sukiana, who are facing a wrongful death lawsuit following a tragic incident during a video shoot in Oakland Park, Florida. On September 14, 2023, during the filming of Sexy Red’s music video for “Shake Your Dreads,” a father named Anthony Dennis was fatally shot during a robbery attempt at a nearby gas station. The lawsuit, filed by Dennis’s family and his surviving friend, claims negligence on the part of multiple defendants, including the artists, the gas station, and the venue where the video shoot took place.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to provide adequate security measures despite the area’s history of crime. It specifically implicates Sexy Red as having organized the shoot and promoted it heavily on social media, thus attracting a large crowd to a potentially dangerous environment. The claims extend to the record label managing Sexy Red, which is accused of having ties to artists associated with gun violence. The plaintiffs assert that both Sexy Red and Sukiana should have anticipated the risks and taken steps to ensure safety at the event.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the lawsuit raises significant questions about the responsibilities of artists and event organizers in preventing violence at public gatherings. While some argue that the artists should bear some responsibility for the tragic outcome, others suggest that this lawsuit may be an overreach, attributing the shooting to the actions of the assailants alone.
The community continues to grapple with the implications of this case, with many calling for greater accountability and safety measures at public events, particularly those involving large crowds. As the legal battle continues, both Cardi B’s and Sexy Red’s recent controversies highlight the complex intersections of fame, responsibility, and public safety in the entertainment industry.
