Cardi B Steps Out of Court Cradling Her Stomach, Fans Can’t Stop Speculating
Hi! I’m Quinn Parker, and I’ve had *way* too much coffee today, so let’s just dive right in—because if you saw the video of Cardi B gingerly stepping out of a California courthouse with her hands protectively resting on her stomach, you probably had the same exact thought I did: “Wait… is she? Could she be? No, she said she wasn’t!”
Okay, okay—let’s slow down. The scene went down on Wednesday in Alhambra, just outside Los Angeles, and TMZ Hip Hop caught the whole thing on camera. Cardi B was wrapping up a day in court, where she’s currently embroiled in a $24 million lawsuit brought by a former security guard named Emani Elllis. The suit claims that back in 2018, while Cardi was pregnant with her first child, Kulture, she allegedly assaulted Elllis inside a Beverly Hills OB-GYN office. Cardi has repeatedly called the lawsuit a “cash grab” and her close confidant, Patientce Foster, recently told reporters in New York City that the whole ordeal is just “press, press, press, press, press.”
But back to the moment everyone’s buzzing about. Cardi looked absolutely radiant in a crisp white pantsuit, rocking a $73,000 diamond-encrusted watch gifted to her by boyfriend Stefon Diggs. And yes, she was also carrying a seriously bedazzled Louis Vuitton bag—because of course she was. But fashion wasn’t the main focus this time around.
As she made her way out of the courthouse, Cardi was visibly cautious. She had a bodyguard helping her down the steps, and she kept one hand on her stomach the entire time. She even took a break inside her SUV during lunch, and struggled a bit getting into the back seat. After court wrapped for the day, she signed autographs for fans waiting outside—including copies of her diamond-certified hit “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion—before heading off.
Now, here’s where things get spicy. Cardi has been very vocal about not being pregnant, even going so far as to scold fans on social media who’ve speculated otherwise. But with the way she was holding herself, fans are once again raising eyebrows. Is it just a stomach bug? Exhaustion from court? Or could there be something more going on?
Let’s not forget, Cardi B is known for keeping her personal life under wraps until she’s ready to drop a bombshell herself. So while the internet is in full speculation mode, we might not get a clear answer until she’s good and ready to give one.
Meanwhile, the legal drama continues. Closing arguments in the lawsuit are expected to begin after Labor Day, so this story is far from over. And if the past is any indication, Cardi won’t be backing down anytime soon.
Whew! That was a LOT to process!
