Cardi B recently secured a legal victory that sweetened her courtroom win even This cardi news comes as she gears up for her upcoming tour. Los Angeles Judge Ian Fusselman fined security guard lawyer Ron Rosen Janfaza $1,500 for questioning the rapper about gang ties during her trial, as reported by Rolling Stone. The judge deemed it an “intentional violation” of court orders.

Courtroom Drama

The incident occurred during a trial where Janfaza represented Emani Ellis, who had filed a failed assault lawsuit against Cardi B. Janfaza questioned Cardi B on the witness stand, asking, “Do you have any affiliation at this time with a gang?” This question directly contradicted the judge’s prior order banning any discussion of Cardi B’s past gang involvement. Judge Fusselman noted that the question was not an accident but a “knowing and intentional violation.”

Janfaza offered various excuses, claiming his office manager added the question to his outline and stating he was inexperienced and sleep-deprived. The judge dismissed these explanations as “inconsistent and contradictory.” This penalty follows a period of intense litigation for Ellis and her legal team.

Background of the Case

In September, a jury quickly rejected Ellis’s assault claims against Cardi B. The case stemmed from a 2018 incident at a Beverly Hills gynecologist’s office. Ellis alleged that Cardi B cursed, spat, and scratched her cheek, requiring plastic surgery. However, Cardi B testified that she did not touch Ellis. She stated she was upset because the security guard was recording her while she tried to keep her pregnancy private. Photos presented showed Cardi B’s nails were short and unlikely to cause the alleged injuries.

Tour Preparations Amid Legal Battles

Despite the legal back-and-forth, Cardi B is moving forward with her career. She is currently preparing for her Little Miss Drama Tour. This extensive 30-date arena tour supports her second album, Am I the Drama?. The tour is set to kick off on February 11 in Palm Desert, California, and will run through April 17 in Atlanta.
