Cardi B Found Not Liable in Civil Assault Case Involving Former Security Guard Emani Ellis miixtapechiick

On September 2, 2025, a Los Angeles jury ruled in favor of Cardi B (Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar), finding her not liable on all counts in a civil lawsuit filed by former security guard Emani Ellis. The claims included assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, false imprisonment, and violation of the Bane Civil Rights Act.

The case stemmed from a February 24, 2018 incident at an OB-GYN office in Beverly Hills, where Ellis alleged that Cardi B scratched her face with a long fingernail, attempted to hit her, called her racial slurs, body-shamed her, and spit on her. Ellis also claimed that Cardi B used her celebrity status to get her fired from her job.

Cardi testified that Ellis followed her with a phone while she was four months pregnant. While she admitted to calling Ellis a “bitch,” she denied that any physical altercation occurred.

After about an hour of deliberation, the jury unanimously found Ellis failed to prove the required elements of any of her claims.

Following the verdict, Cardi addressed the press outside the courtroom. “I swear to God I will say it in my deathbed: I did not touch that woman. I did not touch that girl, I didn’t lay my hands on that girl.”

She also said she missed her children’s first day of school due to the trial and warned she would pursue countersuits in the future: “The next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to countersue and I’m gonna make you pay because this is not OK.”



Cardi thanked the judge, jurors, her legal team, and fans, and asked her supporters not to harass Ellis online. “Don’t go bother her. Don’t be talking about her. Don’t be talking about how she looks. Don’t call her no nasty names. Let’s just put this behind.”

She ended by reiterating, “I’m not gonna settle, especially when I’m super completely innocent.”

Ellis’ legal team told the press they plan to appeal.

Cardi’s next album, Am I the Drama?, is scheduled to drop September 19.

D. Woods Responds After Three Danity Kane Members Say June 20 LA Block Party Booking Was Made Without Their Consent miixtapechiick

D. Woods took to her Instagram Stories to address the controversy surrounding a June 20 Danity Kane appearance at the LA Block Party in Los Angeles, confirming she and Aundrea Fimbres plan to perform at the event. “5,4,3,2, & even 1 — there have been many versions and configurations of Danity Kane. But our fans have always been constant,” she wrote. “Drea & D. Woods thank you for ‘Holding Us Down’ and are looking forward to GOING UP at @lablockparty June 20th. Let’s start the summer off right and continue our 20th Anniversary with a celebration of the music we all love.”

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Danity Kane’s official page issued a statement saying the booking was made by only two members without the knowledge or consent of Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day, or Shannon Bex. “This promotion constitutes false advertising and a misleading promotion, creating a false impression of full group participation,” the statement read. “Presenting a two-member lineup under the full Danity Kane name without clear and accurate disclosure results in deception of fans and a clear misrepresentation of what is being offered.”

The June 20 appearance is billed as part of the group’s 20th anniversary. Danity Kane’s Untold Chapter Tour, which ran from December 2025 through January 2026, also featured D. Woods and Fimbres alongside Aubrey O’Day, without Richard or Bex.

Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day, and Shannon Bex are calling out a flyer promoting Danity Kane at the LA Block Party at Pershing Square in Los Angeles on June 20, saying they were not informed about the appearance and will not be there.

A statement posted to Danity Kane’s official page confirmed that only two members independently booked the show without the others’ consent. “This promotion constitutes false advertising and a misleading promotion, creating a false impression of full group participation,” the statement read. “Presenting a two-member lineup under the full Danity Kane name without clear and accurate disclosure results in deception of fans and a clear misrepresentation of what is being offered.”

The flyer was posted by the danitykaneontour Instagram account, which wrote “Kicking off this summer with @lablockparty bringing yall back to 20 years ago!”

The situation comes amid an already divided chapter for the group. Danity Kane’s Untold Chapter Tour ran from December 9 through January 2026 and featured Aubrey O’Day, Aundrea Fimbres, and D. Woods, a lineup that did not include the full original group. Dawn Richard said she was not aware of the reunion, and Shannon Bex has been open about stepping away from music to focus on entrepreneurship. Woods, who had not performed with the group since her exit in 2008, addressed her return directly. “The Untold Chapter Starts Now. Ya Girl Is Back and rewriting OUR story,” she wrote.

Ice Spice and Woman Throw Hands at Hollywood McDonald's miixtapechiick

Ice Spice threw hands with a woman at a McDonald’s in Hollywood on Wednesday, April 15, and the whole thing was caught on camera.

In footage obtained by TMZ, Ice Spice was at the restaurant with a friend when a woman approached their table uninvited and tried to squeeze in next to them. When Ice Spice and her friend asked her to leave, the woman slapped her. A brief scuffle followed before the woman’s friend pulled her away.

It didn’t end there. A second clip filmed outside shows the woman throwing another punch at Ice Spice while the group was crossing the street, leading to another scuffle. Video also shows Ice Spice picking up a phone from the ground belonging to someone in the other group, which she allegedly smashed.

The woman, identified as Vayah, gave her own account, claiming Ice Spice was rude when she approached to show support and that she slapped her after being called a “bitch.”

Ice Spice’s attorney Bradford Cohen said the incident has been reported to the LAPD. “The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,” Cohen said. “We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Ice Spice is currently being sued by a New York wig maker over an unpaid $20,000 order for her 2024 Y2K tour.
