Bardi Beats the Gavel: How Cardi B's Strategic Legal Defense Cleared a $24 Million "Frivolous" Lawsuit


The Unsettled Score


A Los Angeles courtroom, a Los Angeles jury, and an undisputed Los Angeles hip hop legend. The scene was set for a dramatic conclusion to a multi-million dollar legal saga that began years ago. Rapper Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, was in the crosshairs of a civil lawsuit brought by a former security guard, Emani Ellis, who sought a staggering $24 million in damages. But in a stunning and swift turn of events, a jury delivered a "quick and absolute victory" for the Grammy-winning artist, clearing her of all charges after just an hour of deliberation. The verdict was not just a win; it was a powerful statement from an artist who has become increasingly known for her refusal to settle disputes quietly, choosing instead to fight for what she believes is right in the public and legal arena.

Lauryn Hill - "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
Released in the United States on August 25, 1998. (Initially released in Japan a week earlier.)

"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is the debut solo studio album by American rapper and singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill. It was released on August 19, 1998, by Ruffhouse Records and Columbia Records. Recorded after the Fugees embarked on a hiatus, the album was almost entirely written and produced by Hill. It is a concept album about educating oneself on love, with lyrical themes encompassing relationship complexities, interpersonal conflicts, motherhood, and faith. Predominantly a neo soul and R&B record, it incorporates genres such as hip-hop, reggae, and soul, and features guest appearances from Carlos Santana, Mary J. Blige, and D'Angelo."

"The success of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill propelled Hill to global prominence, and contributed to bringing hip-hop and neo soul to the forefront of popular music. New Ark, however, felt Hill and her record labels did not properly credit them for their contributions, and filed a lawsuit, which was settled out of court in 2001. Regardless of the controversy, various critics have exalted the album as one of the best of its era and of all time, due to its tremendous influence on other artists and ubiquitous impact on the music industry; the album was ranked atop Apple Music's 100 Best Albums. In addition, it has been selected for inclusion at a multitude of cultural institutions, including the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and the Grammy Hall of Fame. The album eventually went on to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for 10 million units consumed in the US. With over 20 million copies sold worldwide, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is among the best-selling albums of all time. Despite its immense success and achievements, it remains Hill's sole studio album.
