Cardi B has struck victory in court again as she just won a $5 million civil lawsuit against her regarding the cover art for her 2016 mixtape, ‘Gangsta B*tch Music Vol. 1.’
On Friday (Oct. 21), Law and Crime News senior reporter Meghann Cuniff took to her Twitter after a jury of nine people in a federal court in Santa Ana, California returned with their verdict. Cuniff says after three days of trial, a jury absolved Cardi of any guilt in the case — which was brought on by plaintiff Kevin “Mike” Brophy. Cardi eventually went live on Instagram and confirmed the news and how grateful she is.
Brophy accused the Grammy-winning artist of using his photo for her mixtape without his permission. In October 2017, Brophy sued Cardi for $5 million over the picture featuring his prominent tiger back tattoo. He said Cardi knowingly used the photoshopped photo “in a misleading, offensive, humiliating and provocative sexual way to launch her career in music and entertainment.” He said it affected his marriage, family life and work life.
