Cardi B's Courtroom Drama: From Assault Trial to Album Sales, She's Making a Killing

In a move that's left fans and foes alike gagging, Cardi B has turned her recent assault trial into a lucrative marketing campaign. The 32-year-old rapper, known for her unapologetic style and sassy attitude, has been making waves in the music industry with her latest stunt: selling "courtroom edition" CDs of her upcoming album, Am I The Drama?.

But first, let's set the scene: Cardi B was accused by a security guard named Emani Ellis of spitting on her, striking her, and even slashing her face with a fingernail after Ellis allegedly followed and filmed her at a doctor's office while she was pregnant with her daughter Kulture. The lawsuit, which sought $24 million in damages, was recently dismissed by a Los Angeles jury.

But Cardi B didn't let the drama end there. In fact, she's been milking it for all it's worth. Last week, she announced that she would be releasing a limited-edition CD of Am I The Drama? with covers made up of photos from her trial. And to make matters even more interesting, she's been selling these CDs online for $10, while the vinyl version is available for a whopping $39.98.

The marketing strategy, which has been met with both praise and criticism, involves taking advantage of Cardi B's notoriety and using it to promote her music. Fans have been eating up the controversy, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter. "Cardi B is a genius," wrote one fan. "She's turned her trial into a marketing campaign and it's working." Others were less impressed, with some calling her out for being insensitive and exploiting the situation.

But Cardi B isn't just stopping at album sales. She's also been using the court drama to promote her upcoming single, Bodega Baddie. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a video of herself twerking in a polka dot blazer, stripping down to a thong mid-video, and shaking it for the camera. The clip ended with her trademark flair: slapping her famous backside and flipping the bird with a huge smile plastered across her face.

When asked about the trial by reporters after the verdict was announced, Cardi B said that it had been "really tough" to have attended to the case even as she was trying to promote Am I The Drama?. She also gave a glimpse into how the trial cost her important time with her children, who were starting their first day of school on Tuesday.

"I'm not even playing around," Cardi B said defiantly. "Even if I'm at my death bed, I swear to God, I will say it at my death bed — I did not touch that woman." Ellis, the security guard who brought the lawsuit against her, also spoke out after losing her case. "I don't think that it reflects the truth," she said of the verdict. "But I'm not disappointed."

As for Cardi B's future plans, it seems like the courtroom drama is far from over. With her album sales and marketing campaign in full swing, fans can expect to see even more controversy and publicity stunts from the rapper in the coming weeks.

Now, as she swats away a swarm of rumors she may be expecting a fourth child, Cardi has brought her firstborn out with her for a night on the town

Cardi B's Night Out with Kulture: Fashionable Fun at New York Fashion Week

But enough about the trial – let's talk about something a little more pleasant. Cardi B recently stepped out for a night on the town with her eight-year-old daughter, Kulture, at a New York Fashion Week party. The 32-year-old rapper and her mini-me were dressed to impress in matching outfits, with Cardi sporting a voluminous fur skirt and jacket while Kulture wore a practically identical skirt without the wrap.

The mother-daughter duo made waves on social media as they posed for photos together before taking their seats alongside the runway. It's clear that Cardi B is loving every moment of being a mom – she even shared some adorable photos with her fans, captioning one post "Mommy and Kulture slaying the game."

'What up y'all! We outside. We got the exclusive Cardi B new album. We selling them right now. We got the vinyls, we got the CDs, we got the court edition [of the album],' the star said as her cameraman slowly panned over the items

The night out comes less than two weeks after Cardi B was cleared in her civil assault trial. As for what's next for the rapper, it seems like the focus will be on promoting Am I The Drama? – and maybe even a few more publicity stunts to keep fans guessing.

The Verdict: Cardi B Speaks Out

In a recent interview with reporters, Cardi B spoke out about her trial and the verdict. "It's not okay for people to think that they can just sue me and I'll settle and give them my money," she said. "I'm not even playing around. Even if I'm at my death bed, I swear to God, I will say it at my death bed — I did not touch that woman."

When asked about the impact of the trial on her family, Cardi B said that it had been "really tough" to have attended to the case even as she was trying to promote Am I The Drama?. She also mentioned that Tuesday marked the first day of school for her children, and that she had to balance attending court with getting them ready for their new adventure.

As for what's next for Cardi B, it seems like the focus will be on promoting Am I The Drama? – and maybe even a few more publicity stunts to keep fans guessing. Stay tuned!

Cardi seemed to be in high spirits last Tuesday after all 12 jurors ¿ six men and six women ¿ agreed that she was not responsible for the assault, though it only required nine to vote in her favor
