American rapper Cardi B lashed out at a paparazzo outside court on Tuesday after being asked if she is carrying Offset’s baby while in a relationship with NFL star, Stefon Diggs.
Cardi, who appeared to have a visible baby bump, had arrived in court for a $24 million civil lawsuit filed by her former bodyguard, who accused her of assault.
As she exited the courthouse on September 2, a reporter in the crowd questioned her about the paternity of her alleged pregnancy.
The rapper was signing an autograph for a fan when the reporter in the crowd said, “Insiders are claiming that Offset is publicly bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time. Do you foresee any paternity issues with Stefon Diggs?”
Visibly angered, Cardi B threw the pen she had been holding toward the reporter and snapped
“Stop disrespecting me. Do not disrespect me,” the rapper said before her bodyguard quickly moved her away.
The reporter replied that he still cared for her even though she had thrown something,
“I still love you even though you just threw some stuff at me,” he said.
Cardi fired back, saying, “I don’t care. You’re disrespectful, don’t do that. Do you see women asking those type of questions to me? Why do you feel, as a man, you get to ask me those type of questions? Act like you have some manners. And your mama taught you: respect women.”
Speculation about Cardi’s pregnancy has been growing since August 28, when she was spotted leaving court in an oversized suit, clutching her stomach, which sparked rumors she might be expecting a child with Diggs.
Outside the courthouse on Tuesday, the rapper again appeared to need help from her bodyguard, who supported her as she signed autographs and then got into an SUV.
