Cardi B is celebrity the legal victory in her civil trial earlier this week by turning her viral courtroom faces into more cover art for her Am I the Drama? album.
The “Outside” rapper unveiled the Courtroom Edition of Am I the Drama? less than 24 hours after defeating claims she assaulted a security guard in 2018.
“I mean look!… BY POPULAR DEMAND, the court room edition of AM I THE DRAMA? is available NOW,” she wrote to Instagram on Wednesday (Sept. 3).
The artwork finds Cardi going through the cycle of emotions with her demonstrative facial expressions and various wardrobe looks in court over the past week. Fans were loving the decision to capitalize on the courtroom press as well.
“Literal genius. I’m getting one I’m too childish,” one person commented. Another added: “Perfect timing, Cardi is a marketing genius.”
The pair of Courtroom Edition covers are available in CD form for $10 on Cardi’s store. The countdown is on to Am I the Drama?, which is set to arrive on Sept. 19.
A California jury unanimously sided in Cardi’s favor on Tuesday, ruling that ex-security guard Emani Ellis did not properly prove assault, battery or infliction of emotional distress as well as negligence claims.
Ellis filed the civil lawsuit claiming that Cardi cut her face during an altercation at an L.A. doctor’s office in 2018. She was seeking $24 million and the jurors rejected the claims after an hour of deliberation.
“This time around, I’m gonna be nice, but the next person that try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me — I’m going to countersue, and I’m gonna make you pay because this is not okay,” Cardi said after the ruling. “I work hard for my money for my kids and for people I take care of, so don’t you ever think that you gonna sue me, and I’m just gonna settle and just give you my money. It’s not gonna happen.”
