Popular rap couple Cardi B and Offset are in the middle of a legal dispute after being sued by the owner of a luxury mansion that appeared in the music video of the song 'Like What'.

According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the couple allegedly rented the property without disclosing their true intentions.

The owner alleges that Cardi B and Offset lied about the use they would give  the mansion, saying that it would be used for a TikTok video of an anonymous client. However, the reality was quite different, as the mansion became the main setting for the 'Like What' music video, which has millions of views on YouTube.

The plaintiff accuses the rapper couple of fraud and breach of contract. In addition to seeking financial damages of USD 35,000, the owner of the mansion seeks recognition of the damage to his reputation and the privacy of his property.

Cardi B responds to the accusations: "It's a lie".

The rapper has come out against the accusations against her. Through her social networks, the artist has flatly denied the plaintiff's claims and has presented her version of events.

Cardi B claims that she paid a considerable sum for the rental of the property for 24 hours, hiring the services of a real estate agent. She further claims that both the agent and the landlord were present during the filming of the music video, which contradicts the plaintiff's version, who claims that he was misled about the true purpose of the rental.

"We paid those people USD 10,000 in cash to rent the property for a full 24 hours that same day from 6am to 6am the next morning, and we went over an hour for which we paid additional fees to the realtor in March," Cardi B said in a message posted on her social media.

"There were cameras everywhere and both the realtors and the owners were there the whole time.... I have pictures and videos of them on set!" the artist added.

The rapper has emphasized that the rental agreement was completely legal and that she has evidence to back up her version of events. "Now they want to trick us by trying to say that we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and as if they didn't listen to the whole conversation," Cardi B stated, visibly upset by the situation.

With the interpreter's statements, the case has taken a new turn. Both sides present contradictory versions of the facts, so it will be up to a judge to determine which of the two parties is right. Lawyers for both sides will have to present solid evidence in order to convince authorities.
