Cardi B Defends Herself After Videos Show Her in Heated Argument
Cardi B is defending herself after a video shows her in a heated argument outside a New York City apartment complex.
Cardi B Gets in Heated Fight With Woman
On Monday (Aug. 5), The New York Post shared footage from a July 28 argument Cardi had with a random woman outside a New York City apartment complex. The Bronx-bred rapper can be seen leaning out the window of her black SUV, and threatens to “f**k up” the woman in question. It’s unclear what started the argument, but it seems that Cardi was upset with the woman taking pictures of her and her entourage.
“You were harassing them, though. You touched their car! I saw you!” Cardi B calls out in the video below. “I’m recording you, b***h. I’ll f**k you up for real!”
The woman also allegedly kicked a Tesla Cybertruck that was parked outside the building’s lobby.
Bardi hopped on X, formerly known as Twitter, to address the video after it was published.
“B**hes trying to be funny and make this something it’s not but I don’t care,” she wrote. “I don’t like when people think they can bully people for no reason.. like how you gonna do all that yelling, hit their car, AND call the cops all because they taking pictures in front of a building?!”
She then said she was “defending” the woman. “Why y’all trying to make me sound bad??” She added in a separate tweet. “This was July 28th and I was defending them but ok.”
XXL has reached out to Cardi’s team for further comment.
