Cardi B Responds to Non-Payment Lawsuit: ‘I’ll See You In Court’

Cardi B won’t be backing down in a lawsuit in which the rap star and her estranged husband Offset are accused of using a mansion for the purposes of shooting content, and underpaying for the privilege.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper turned to her social accounts, where she responded to allegations that the pair had broken an agreement over money, blamed the property’s “greedy owners,” and claimed to have receipts.

“We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours that same day 6am to 6am the next morning and we went over by ONE hour which we paid overage fees to the realtor for in March,” she writes on X. “Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we was shooting….Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok.”

According to an 11-page complaint, the hip-hop heavyweights targeted a distinctive property and “devised a plan” to use it “without paying full market value,” according to Rolling Stone.

The document alleges that reps for Cardi and Offset had booked the property anonymously “under the false pretense” it would be used for a TikTok video.

Now, notes Cardi, the gloves are off. “The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT BITCH I’ll see you in court!!!!,” she writes.

In a separate tweet, she adds, “And this is not the realtors fault…they been trying for months to settle this. Its them greedy owners wit their ugly ass house.”

The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and noted that the music video produced during the shoot, “Like What,” had garnered more than 26 million views on YouTube since its release six months ago.

It’s been an eventful time for Cardi and Offset; the artists welcomed their third baby together on Sept. 7. Cardi announced she was pregnant with baby No. 3 in August on the same day Billboard confirmed she’d filed for divorce from the rapper for a second time.
