A jury sided with Cardi B in a copyright infringement case involving a man who claimed the rapper misused his back tattoos for her sexually suggestive 2016 mixtape cover art.
Cardi B exits federal court as proceedings continue in a $5 million copyright infringement lawsuit against her in federal court, Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022, in Santa Ana, Calif. Kevin Michael Brophy is suing the Grammy-winning musician for allegedly misusing his likeness for her sexually suggestive mixtape cover art in 2016. The federal jury in Southern California ruled Kevin Michael Brophy did not prove Cardi B misappropriated his likeness.
But Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, disputed the allegations during her testimony earlier in the week — and had such an intense exchange with Cappello that the trial was briefly halted by U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney. Their heated exchange prompted the judge to send jurors out of the Santa Ana, California, courtroom and told both sides that he was considering a mistrial. After a short break, he called the arguing “unprofessional” and “not productive” but allowed questioning to resume, then placed new restrictions for both sides.
Cardi B’s lawyer, Peter Anderson, said Brophy and the mixtape image are unrelated, noting the model did not have neck tattoos – which Brophy does.
