Cardi B and Offset are being sued by a fan who claimed to have been assaulted at the Met Gala afterparty. The couple is accused of instructing their hired bodyguards to "savagely beat" Giovanni Arnold.
The incident, as told by Arnold, occurred on May 8 after the Met Gala. The fan asked Cardi B for autograph multiple times, and his move seemingly upset the singer. The "Bodak Yellow" singer allegedly used the "N" word, and Offset closely followed suit.
According to one publication, three unidentified men beat Arnold, punching him and stomping on his face while he was on the ground. In his lawsuit, the fan charged Cardi B and Offset with assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Cardi B's Statement About 'Girls'
Meanwhile, Cardi B released a statement amid the controversy surrounding her new song "Girls," which she collaborated with Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX.
On her Twitter account, the Bronx native said that it was never their intention to cause harm to anyone with their song. Cardi B revealed that she has had experiences with women, and "Girls" was a good way to recount her involvements with the same sex.
