Cardi B, the famous rapper and songwriter, is facing a significant legal battle. She has been hit with a $50 million copyright infringement lawsuit. The case was filed by a man named Kevin Brophy, who claims Cardi B used his artwork without permission on the cover of her 2016 mixtape, “Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1.”
Brophy alleges that the tattoo on the back of a male model featured on the mixtape cover is an exact replica of his own tattoo. He insists that neither Cardi B nor her team reached out to him for permission to use the artwork. As a result, Brophy is seeking $50 million in damages for what he considers a violation of his copyright and a misrepresentation of his image.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in California, and it has attracted significant media attention. Cardi B’s legal team has yet to make an official statement regarding the lawsuit. However, it’s clear that this case could have substantial financial implications for the rapper if the court rules in Brophy’s favor.
This isn’t the first time Cardi B has faced legal troubles. She has been involved in other lawsuits in the past, including cases related to assault and breach of contract. However, this $50 million lawsuit is one of the largest claims against her to date. Fans and legal experts alike are closely watching to see how this case will unfold and whether Cardi B will be required to pay the substantial amount being demanded.
