Cardi B Brings The Facts After Receiving Lawsuit Over Mansion Rental For “Like What” Video

by

Yesterday, the owner of the mansion in the music video for Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” filed a lawsuit against her and Offset. According to the documents, he alleges that the then couple were requesting to use the home anonymously. Instead of saying they were looking to film a music video, he claims that the MC’s reps were inquiring about a TikTok video. Because of this, the homeowner waived the fee. Overall, he’s stating they knew it was going to be pricey and they were going to do anything and everything to avoid paying. Previously, Justin Bieber and Logan Paul rented out the luxe Beverly Hills pad for its services. Now, he’s seeking $35,000 or more in damages from the now divorced couple.

It was only a matter of time before either Cardi or Offset was going to respond, and today it’s the former doing so. According to HipHopDX, she took to X (formerly Twitter) and clearly, she’s pretty ticked off about it. Throughout her tweet, the mother of three provides what she claims really happened, saying that cameras were all over the property, her and Set paid up front, and that realtors and the owner were present during filming. “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”, she begins. “And we went over by ONE hour which we paid overage fees to the realtor for in March”.

Cardi B Has Receipts To Disprove Lawsuit

Above she shows that proof, in addition to text messages with Offset about the payment. She then continues, “There was cameras all over and both the realtors and the owners was there the ENTIRE time… I got pics and videos of them on set!! Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we was shooting…. Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok?”. Before signing off, Cardi made sure to give the owner a fair warning, “The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT B**** I’ll see you in court!!!!”.

Cardi B Slams A Lawsuit That Alleged Her And Offset Didn’t Pay For Use Of A Mansion Featured In Their ‘Like That’ Music Video

Last week, Cardi B announced the arrival of her third child with estranged husband Offset. Unfortunately, their celebration of this joyous occasion has been interrupted by litigation.

According to TMZ, both Cardi B and Offset are being sued in connection with the “Like That (Freestyle)” music video. In the court documents obtained by the outlet, the owner of the Beverly Hills, California mansion featured in the visual accused the pair of not paying the rental fee.

However, shortly after the exclusive report was published Cardi B slammed the nonpayment allegation. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Cardi shared receipts (viewable here) to the contrary including a conversation with Offset (the video’s director) about the rental fee and a screenshot of $4,500 payment on March 13.

“We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours that same day 6 am to 6 am the next morning,” she wrote. “We went over by ONE hour which we paid overage fees to the realtor for in March. There were cameras all over and both the realtors and the owners were there the ENTIRE time. I got pics and videos of them on set!”

Cardi then addressed the claim that her team lied about their intended use of the space, writing: “Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we were shooting. Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok? The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT B*TCH I’ll see you in court!!!!”

The evidence Cardi B posted alleged that they agreed to a $10,000 rental fee with an additional $500 cleaning charge.

The property’s own is seeking $35,000 in damages.

A Timeline Of The Beef Between Cardi B And BIA

by

2024 is clearly hip-hop’s year of beef. Ice Spice and Latto, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, Drake and Kendrick Lamar — this year has so far been full of friction among some of rap’s top performers, and there are no signs as yet that rappers as a collective will find any fraction of chill anytime soon.

The latest acts to join the fracas are Cardi B and BIA, who spent the weekend trading shots in what appears to be the latest iteration of 2024’s Rap Beef-ocalypse. Here’s a timeline of their beef, so you can get caught up and explain to your friends, family, and co-workers just what the heck is going on.

July 2023: BIA Releases “Fallback”

Like most feuds in hip-hop, this one started off seemingly innocently enough. “Fallback” wouldn’t be considered a diss track by most — in fact, in the second verse, BIA specifically says, “I’m havin’ no beef, these bitches won’t say my name” — but in hindsight, it’s the song fans point to as the lit fuse for everything that came after.

March 2024: Cardi B Drops “Like What (Freestyle)”

Cardi B Serves Look After Look In Her Lavish New ‘Like What (Freestyle)’ Video

Here’s where things begin to get spicy. Fans noticed that Cardi’s first single of 2024 interpolated Missy Elliott’s 1999 hit “She’s A Bitch” — the same song that BIA sampled on “Fallback.” Now, this wouldn’t normally be notable — lots of hip-hop songs sample the same classics (for instance, Bob James’ “Nautilus” is one of, if not the most-sampled song in hip-hop) — but for Twitter stans, this was tantamount to a declaration of war. Cardi’s combative rhymes on the track certainly helped the perception along for fans who look for hidden meaning in well-established hip-hop tropes.

However, where once upon a time, those conspiracy theories were confined to the insides of superfans’ heads, these days, those fans have direct access to the artists themselves. Alerted to the similarities between their songs, BIA subtweeted Cardi with a string of woozy face emojis. Cardi herself appeared to respond with a tweet of her own, writing, “Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time.”

May 2024: Cardi B Appears To Directly Diss BIA On GloRilla And Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” Remix

Cardi seemingly delivered on her promise to “show ya something when I release this song” on the remix of her frequent collaborators GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Wanna Be.”

“Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me / She did what? Had no idea / Thought she was on the shelf, Ikea / Hope she talk like that when I see her / B*tch, please, don’t nobody wanna be ya,” Cardi rhymes in her verse, with the final two words strong resembling the pronunciation of BIA’s name. Meanwhile, her reference to being “on the shelf” seemingly takes a dig at BIA’s relative lack of chart success since her breakout 2020 single “Whole Lotta Money,” which was a viral hit on TikTok and climbed to the No. 16 on the Hot 100. Since then, only “London” with J. Cole has reached the Hot 100, peaking at No. 62.

June 2024: BIA Claps Back With “Sue Meee”

Absolutely no ambiguity here. BIA goes in on Cardi in her new track released on Sunday. In the song, BIA accuses Cardi of the usual shortcomings (seriously, can y’all find some new stuff to talk about? YAWN.), including the rumors that she and her husband Offset spent the duration of their marriage cheating on each other and that she uses ghostwriters. “Do I beef with you or do I beef with Pardi?” she taunts on the song-ending bridge. “You been scrapping projects since 2019.”

The song’s title, meanwhile, came from an Instagram Live stream in which Cardi threatened legal action against BIA for insinuating she’d ripped off “Fallback” for “Like What.” In the caption of an Instagram post teasing the track, though, BIA wrote, “Sue me? That’s not hip hop 😂.”

We’ll see if Cardi responds either way; she noted after her confrontation with Nicki Minaj in 2019 that beef is “bad for business.” But if it inspires her to finally get around to dropping that long-awaited follow-up to Invasion Of Privacy, I can’t say it’d be completely bad.

Before BIA Dropped Her Diss Aimed At Cardi B And The Rapper Hinted At Taking Legal Action

There’s a whole lotta drama online between Cardi B and BIA. For well over a year, the pair has exchanged subtle jabs online. On May 31, their tension was officially transferred to wax.

Cardi B fired off at BIA in her guest verse on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” remix. Today (June 2), BIA responded with a track of her own, “Sue Meee.” The night before its release, BIA teased a shady unreleased song on Instagram Live.

Shortly after gaining wind of BIA’s lines, Cardi B took to her page to clap back and even threatened to take legal action over BIA’s accusations of adultery and supposedly spreading a fake sex tape.

“I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts,” Cardi said. “And not social media receipts, court receipts. I will get every little f*cking red penny that you ever f*cking make b*tch. Every money that you make off your publishing. So find something safe to do.”

BIA laughed off Cardi’s legal plan in the caption of her upload. “Sue me,” she wrote. “That’s not hip hop 😂.”

Cardi B claimed that BIA took to her private Instagram page to post a story, saying she isn’t afraid to face litigation: “Good luck you think I’m Tasha K.”

“Girl. Ask Tasha K. She couldn’t even lie on my p*ssy,” replied Cardi.

Tokyo Toni is one of the funniest media personalities out there. Overall, she is someone who has never shied away from being herself. Although this has sometimes led to some online feuds.

Unfortunately, the fans themselves were not feeling it. In the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk, there are some who feel like Toni needs to put the mic down. “They need to put her, Momma Dee, Tia Kemp all in the same room,” one person wrote. “Next time, turn the beat down a lil bit Auntie,” said another. While fans were being negative, we’re sure Tokyo Toni will continue to do her thing. If negative comments could get in her way, she would have stopped a long time ago.

Cardi B Invited Fans To Go Shopping For A Coach Bag With Her After It Looked Like She Dissed The Brand

As is the case with nearly all of Cardi B‘s releases, her latest cut, “Like What (Freestyle)” has everyone talking. While many are lauding Cardi for her scorching bars, a particular line has been interpreted as potential shade toward a fashion brand.

From the very beginning of the song, the Bronx rapper reminds us that she’s not the one to play with

“Classy and a c*nt / Blocks and money gettin’ spunt / Like, like what? / Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want,” she raps on the controversial.

Many listeners took this line as a dig on the Coach brand, but Cardi took to Instagram Live to set the record straight. She explained that the line was inspired by Cam’ron’s 2011 track, “Hey Muma” and that she was simply speaking to the culture of New York fashion.

“I’m not trying to be on some rich sh*t and everything,” Cardi said in her live. “This is just real New York sh*t. I ain’t trying to offend none of y’all.”

Coach also showed her some love back with a shout-out on Twitter.

Shortly after, Cardi took to TikTok, where she shared a video of herself shopping at the Coach store and buying a bag.

So, it’s safe to say it’s all love between the two powerhouses.

Cam’ron Accuses Cardi B Of Snitching On Him

Cam’ron jokingly called out Cardi B on Instagram, Monday night, for “snitching” on him with her recent defense of “Like What.” She had been facing backlash for dissing the branch, Coach, on the new song. She explained herself by accusing Cam’ron of making the bags uncool over a decade ago.

“Yo @iamcardib this ain’t ‘BardiB’ stand on them bars!! I followed you 10yrs ago cause u ain’t give a f*ck!! Now you copping a plea!! Lol. How u ‘ain’t on no rich sh*t’ and you RICH?

On the song, Cardi raps: “Classy and a c*nt / Blocks and money getting spunt / Like, like what? / Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want.” She explained herself on social media afterward, noting that she’s a big Dipset fan. “When I was doing this song, that’s what I was thinking about. It’s like, ‘B*tch, do you want that or do you want this? You want a Chanel or you want this bag?’ Now everybody’s jumping me,” she said. “I’m not trying to be on some rich sh*t and everything.

Coach Caught Wind Of Cardi B’s ‘Like What’ Lyric Seemingly Dissing Their Bags And Came Through With A Response

Last week, Cardi B came through with a new music drop, unveiling “Like What (Freestyle).” On the track, some noticed that Cardi seems to go after the Coach brand, as she says in the chorus, “Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want.” Two things there: The intent behind the lyric isn’t what it might seem, and Coach has offered a response to the song.

In a video shared over the weekend, Cardi explained that the lyric wasn’t a dig at Coach, but was instead a reference to Cam’ron and Vado’s 2011 song “Hey Muma,” which features the lyric, “Yo, girl, get a notepad (for what?) / You ain’t got no swag / And you so fine, it’s so sad / Still riding coach, need a Coach bag / Let me coach you, no Coach tags (what that mean?) / Get rid of that Coach bag.”

Coach saw that video and replied on X (formerly Twitter), “We love Cardi!! [heart emoji].” Cardi shared Coach’s post and added, “[weary face emoji] love [heart emoji].”

Meanwhile, Cardi recently hinted at more new music coming soon, saying in a video, “I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… if I do a song, I’m gonna just f*cking drop it. Well, I got no choice because I’m dropping my album this year, so stay tuned for the announcement. But don’t play with me!”

Tokyo Toni Accuses Cardi B Of Stealing Her Look, Sneak Dissing Her On “Like What (Freestyle)”

It’s no secret that Tokyo Toni has her fair share of issues with Cardi B. After all, she is an avid Nicki Minaj stan, and has even used her platform to connect with the Queen of Rap in the past. Of course, considering her allegiance to Nicki, and budding rap career of her own, supporters have been expecting her to weigh in on Cardi’s new “Like What (Freestyle)” which she dropped last week.

Fortunately, Tokyo came through over the weekend, hitting Instagram Live to share her thoughts on the track with supporters. Almost immediately, the reality star and mother to Blac Chyna grew suspicious, and developed a theory that some shade was thrown her way. According to her, the apparent jab must be an attempt on Cardi’s part to get her to promote the song.

Tokyo Toni Is Suspicious

“Did she say red lips?” Tokyo asked, shocked that the alleged diss would be so blatant. “Did she just say red lips? Please somebody find [the lyrics] right now before I lose it.” She went on, insisting that there’s nobody else Cardi could be rapping about, as she’s known for her signature red lips. “Oh my god,” she continued, “She stole my whole sh*t. She stole my whole image on it… You know what? If I didn’t know any better, she wants me to promote this.”

“They think they slick,” Tokyo added. “It just hit me… Who the f*ck wears red lips other than me? There’s Rihanna, but you ain’t talking about no motherf*ckin’ Rihanna, b*tch. Rihanna ain’t made a song since 1980.” What do you think of Tokyo Toni accusing Cardi B of stealing her look and dissing her on her new song? Do you think she’s on to something?
