Cardi B’s Dramatic SummerSlam Look: Feathered Cape & Controversial Past
CARDI B'S WILD SHOWDOWN: RAPPER TURNS SUMMERSLAM HOST INTO CHAOTIC EXTRAVAGANZA
In a drama-filled display that left fans gasping for air, Cardi B took to the stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday as host of WWE SummerSlam. The 32-year-old rapper brought her signature sass and sparkle to the big event, donning a show-stopping ensemble complete with a massive feathered cape, fishnet stockings, and knee-high lace-up boots.
As she worked the stage, Cardi B's outfits only got more outrageous – think matching corsets, sleek ponytails, and enough feathers to blind anyone within a 5-foot radius. It was clear that this was going to be one SummerSlam for the books!
But amidst all the glamour and glitz, Cardi B's hosting duties took a dark turn when she was accused of being involved in an alleged assault incident from two years ago. According to TMZ (yes, that TMZ), the rapper is being sued by an anonymous woman who claims that Cardi threw a microphone at her during a party at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas.
The alleged victim, Jane Doe, claimed that Cardi had asked fans to splash water on her because of the heatwave in Sin City. But when a concertgoer took it upon themselves to throw a cup of liquid with ice at the rapper, things got ugly. In a video shared on Twitter by Pop Base, Cardi can be seen hurling the microphone from the stage – and allegedly hitting Jane Doe.
The incident led to a police investigation, which ultimately resulted in no charges being filed against Cardi B. Her lawyers released a statement at the time, saying: "On behalf of Cardi, we appreciate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept's diligent and prompt resolution of this matter."
But now, it seems that Jane Doe is fighting back – and she's got some serious evidence to boot. The alleged victim has filed a lawsuit against Cardi B, accusing her of 'assault, battery, negligence' in the incident.
The lawsuit alleges that Cardi threw the microphone at Jane Doe with "reckless disregard for human life and safety." Ouch! As news of the suit broke, reps for the rapper remained tight-lipped – but sources close to the situation claim that Cardi is "shaken" by the allegations.
But don't expect her to let this drama get in the way of her hosting duties. After all, as any seasoned WWE fan knows, you've got to be ready for anything when it comes to SummerSlam! And with Cardi B at the helm, you can bet that this year's event was one for the books.
As the main event got underway, Cody Rhodes took down John Cena in a thrilling showdown to become the new WWE Champion. But what really stole the show was Cardi B – and her outrageous style, of course!
The high prices for SummerSlam tickets didn't seem to deter fans from flocking to MetLife Stadium – with some seats going for as much as $300 per seat (ouch!). But hey, when you're watching WWE's biggest stars in action, a little extra cash is well worth it.
And if you thought Cardi B was the only one making headlines at SummerSlam, think again. The rapper's lawsuit drama aside, there were plenty of other juicy tidbits emerging from the event – like WWE's decision to make SummerSlam a two-night spectacular starting in 2025 (yep, that's right – get ready for even more wrestling goodness!).
In related news, it looks like Cardi B isn't the only one with some 'splainin' to do. Last week, we reported on the rapper's latest lawsuit woes – and now, it seems that things are heating up.
As The Scholarly Note reported earlier this month, Cardi B is being sued by an anonymous woman over the alleged assault incident at Drai's Beachclub in 2022. But now, it seems that the lawsuit has taken a dramatic turn – with Jane Doe accusing Cardi of "reckless disregard for human life and safety" during the incident.
Attorney Cierra N. Norris is representing Jane Doe and will be holding a press conference later this week to discuss the suit in more detail. We'll be keeping an eye on this drama – stay tuned!
In the meantime, it's clear that Cardi B is used to being in the spotlight. But can she weather this latest storm? Only time (and the courts) will tell!
