Cardi B Throws Marker at Journalist Over Pregnancy Rumor Questions Outside Court

Cardi B angrily hurled a marker at a paparazzo after being questioned about circulating pregnancy rumors.

The incident occurred Tuesday outside a Los Angeles courthouse, where the “WAP” rapper was leaving a hearing related to her ongoing assault trial. A photographer off-camera asked Cardi about claims that her ex, Offset, was “publicly bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time.” He then inquired whether she anticipated any “paternity issues” with NFL star Stefon Diggs, with whom she has been romantically linked since June.

In response, Cardi — mother of three and known for her fiery temperament — snatched a marker from a fan and threw it toward the man while chastising him for his “disrespect.”

As a bodyguard escorted her to a waiting vehicle, the paparazzo called out, “I still love you even though you threw some stuff at me!” Cardi shot back, “Don’t do that.”

Wagging her finger, she addressed the invasive questioning: “Do you see women asking those types of questions to me? Why do you feel as a man, you get to ask me those type of questions? Act like you have some manners. Respect women.”

Cardi, dressed in a black polka-dotted suit for court, climbed into the car as the man continued shouting, “I still love you, Cardi!”

The rapper is facing a lawsuit from former security guard Emani Ellis, who claims that during a 2018 incident at a doctor’s office, Cardi used racial slurs, cut her cheek with her manicure, and spat on her.
