Cardi B is responding to a lawsuit from a homeowner claiming she and Offset didn’t pay for using his house in their Like What music video. Cardi shared proof of payments on her X account, sparking online reactions. TMZ reported that the couple is being sued for allegedly not paying for the Beverly Hills mansion used in the video.
Court documents alleged that Cardi B, Offset, and their teams lied to the plaintiff, the homeowner, for using the house for a meager TikTok video. The homeowner claimed that after being told so, he waived the regular short-term rental fee.
The homeowner is now seeking $35,000 in damages.
Since the lawsuit gained traction online, Cardi B took to her X account to put the homeowner on blast. She shared numerous text message exchanges she had with Offset alongside a screenshot of a $4,500 transaction. In the messages, it was revealed that the couple were aware of the $10,000 rental fee alongside a cleaning fee. The Up crooner wrote online:
“We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours that same day 6am to 6am the next morning and we went over by ONE hour which we paid overcharge fees to the realtor for in March.”
Netizens were impressed with Cardi B holding evidence of the payment and other screenshots. Reacting to the same, some comments online read:
“The way a libra keeps receipts. You should never try us. We have receipts from before we were even born. It’s not a game,” an X user said.
“I don’t know why they keep playing with Cardi like she won’t post RECEIPTS,” another platform user commented.
Netizens also added that Cardi B should collect legal fees for the damage this lawsuit might bring about.
“ALWAYS COMING WITH RECEIPTS!! SHUT IT DOWN SISTA,” an X user said.
“Period! And go after the legal fees and any damages to your reputation as well. Receipts are a beautiful thing,” another platform user said.
“Another defamation lawsuit coming. Ikdr,” a netizen commented.
The rapper’s fans added to the ongoing conversation and said,
“CounterSue for damage to your reputation & emotional distress,” an X user said.
“When everything’s in writing, the truth speaks for itself,” a netizen said.
“That’s right you’ve got your receipts baby let’s go girl,” a platform user commented.
Meanwhile, the Like What music video that was uploaded six months ago had racked up over 27 million views on YouTube.
