Cardi B angrily tossed a marker at a paparazzo after the shutterbug casually questioned her about viral pregnancy rumors.
In a video clip circulating on X, an off-camera photographer approached the “WAP” rapper about alleged claims that her ex “Offset is publicly bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time,” as she was leaving court in Los Angeles Tuesday.
He then asked the mom of three — who is currently embroiled in a trial over an alleged altercation with a security guard in 2018 — if she “forsee[s]” any “paternity issues with Stefon Diggs,” to whom she has been romantically linked since June.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker instantly grabbed a marker from a fan’s outstretched hand and vigorously threw it in the direction of the voice, reprimanding him for his “disrespect.”
As she was guided to a waiting vehicle by a bodyguard, the man shouted, “I still love you even though you threw some stuff at me!” to which Cardi responded, “Don’t do that.”
“Do you see women asking those type of questions to me?” she asked.
While wagging her finger at the paparazzo, she continued, “Why do you feel as a man, you get to ask me those type of questions?”
“Act like you have some manners,” she demanded before adding, “Respect women.”
As Cardi — who was wearing a black polka dotted suit for her day in court — entered the vehicle, the man again shouted, “I still love you, Cardi!”
A rep for the rapper did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Fans in the comments thread were quick to weigh in on the volatile interaction. “Yeah that was definitely disrespectful,” one person wrote, while another added, “like why would you even say offset name – this girl been minding her business.”
“Oh no,” a third lamented, adding a concerned face emoji.
Cardi B is currently in court over an accusation of assault and battery by former security guard Emani Ellis, who recently claimed in court that the rapper used racist slurs, cut her cheek with her manicure and spit on her during a 2018 trip to the doctor’s office.
Cardi B vigorously denied the claims and counter-accused Ellis of taking photos of her without permission during the outing.
“I didn’t touch her,” the rapper said in court on Aug. 26. “It was like a verbal fight, but it didn’t get physical at all.”
At the time, she was four months pregnant with her first child with estranged husband Offset — the former couple share kids Kulture, 7, Wave, 3, and Blossom, who turns one on Sept. 7.
A rep for Cardi B, 32, confirmed to Page Six on Aug. 1 that she had filed for divorce from Offset, 33.
In June, she subsequently began dating NFL star Diggs, 31, hard launching the relationship with steamy pics from a yacht outing over Memorial Day in Miami.
Cardi B was also sued for assault and battery in July over an incident in which she allegedly threw a microphone at a woman during a Las Vegas performance in 2023.
