Victory and Vow: Cardi B on Defamation, Justice, and Suing ‘Until Your Grandkids Are Paying Me’
NEW YORK, NY – After securing a significant legal victory in September against a former security guard who alleged assault, Cardi B is not just celebrating—she’s issuing a fiery warning. In a candid interview with Gayle King, the rap superstar opened up about the emotional toll of the trial and her uncompromising vow to legally pursue anyone who targets her with false accusations.
Dispelling the notion that her viral, often humorous, courtroom presence was intentional, Cardi B emphasized that she was simply being truthful under oath.
The Truth on the Witness Stand: “I Wasn’t Trying to Be Funny, Just Honest”
The case, filed by a security guard claiming the rapper assaulted her during an altercation, was ultimately decided in Cardi B’s favor. While clips of her testimony circulated widely—often viewed as characteristic Cardi B theatrics—the rapper insists her demeanor was rooted in genuine emotion and a commitment to clarity, not comedy.
“I wasn’t trying to be funny on the witness stand, I was just trying to be honest,” she told King. “When you’re fighting for your name, and you’re fighting for your money, it’s not a joke. People think because I’m a rapper, because I’m on social media, I’m just playing around. But I take my business and my reputation very seriously.”
Cardi B highlighted the financial and professional damage caused by the mere existence of such lawsuits, regardless of the outcome. “Every time I have to go to court, my name is in the papers. It damages my brand. It costs me time and money that I could be spending with my family or making music.”
The Uncompromising Vow: “I’m Gonna Sue You Until Your Grandkids Is Paying Me”
The most striking moment of the interview came when Cardi B detailed her strategy for handling any future lawsuits based on false pretenses. Tired of being a target due to her wealth and fame, she declared a zero-tolerance policy for future defamation or frivolous claims.
The rapper’s vow was simple and brutally effective: “If somebody comes after me again with something fake, I’m not just gonna win. I’m gonna sue you until your grandkids is paying me.”
This aggressive stance signals a major shift in how the star plans to protect her professional interests. While many celebrities choose to settle minor lawsuits to avoid public spectacle, Cardi B is making it clear that she is willing to engage in protracted legal warfare to deter future attempts to capitalize on her fame. It’s a calculated decision designed to establish a powerful precedent.
A Star Fighting for Her Reputation
Cardi B’s recent legal victory and her subsequent powerful statements underscore a critical theme: a celebrity’s right to defend their reputation against opportunistic lawsuits. She has successfully navigated one of the most challenging aspects of fame—being a target—and emerged with a clear, defiant message.
For her fans, this declaration is yet another example of the authentic, take-no-prisoners attitude they admire. For potential accusers, it’s a stark warning: attacking this star now comes with a potentially generations-long financial risk. Cardi B has not only won her case but has firmly redefined the cost of trying to take her to court.
