Cardi B appeared in a California courtroom on Tuesday to battle a $5 million lawsuit from a married dad who claims her first mixtape's “raunchy” artwork “ruined” his private life
“It looks like I’m giving oral sex to somebody that’s not my wife, somebody that’s not my partner, and an image that I never signed off on, ever,” he said, calling the publication of the mixtape cover and the fact that a cease-and-desist letter sent in 2017 received no response a “complete slap in the face” causing him “hurt and shame.”
“That’s a Black man with hair, and this is a white man with a shaven head,” Cardi’s lawyer Peter J. Anderson said in his opening statement Tuesday, comparing the male model to Brophy. “That’s a self-inflicted wound. He caused that by identifying himself when no one else had identified him as being the person in the image,” Anderson said. He further claimed the tattoo imagery photoshopped onto the mixtape cover was altered and manipulated to such a degree that it now constitutes a “newly created piece of art” protected by the First Amendment.
