Cardi B was unanimously acquitted of assault charges by a California jury on Tuesday in a $24 million complaint filed by her former security guard over an incident outside an obstetrician's office in Beverly Hills in 2018. The 12-member Los Angeles Superior Court jury discussed for less than an hour before giving a verdict in favor of the 32-year-old Grammy-winning hip-hop singer, whose best-known songs include Taki Taki and I Like It.

Cardi B strongly cautioned anyone thinking of accusing her of anything after this ruling. "Following this verdict, Cardi B issued a strong warning to anyone considering targeting her with false accusations. I will say it on my deathbed. I did not touch that woman. I did not touch that girl," she said.

Cardi B added, "I’m not that celeb that you sue and you think is going to settle. I'm not gonna settle. Especially when I'm super completely innocent."
