Cardi B and Offset are facing a legal battle over nonpayment for a mansion used in one of their music video projects. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the owner of the property featured in Cardi’s “Like What” music video, which was directed by Offset, alleges that the couple deceived him about their filming plans, leading him to allow them to use the mansion for free.
The owner claims that Cardi, Offset, and their team misrepresented their intentions by saying that an unnamed client wanted to film a TikTok video at the Beverly Hills residence, where the music video was actually shot. As a result, the owner waived the usual rental fee for the property, which had previously been rented by Justin Bieber and featured in a Logan Paul music video.
Had the owner known the true nature of the music video, he would not have agreed to let them use the mansion for free. The property is prominently featured throughout the “Like What” music video, which has garnered over 27 million views on YouTube in just 6 months, indicating that Cardi and Offset have profited from the footage.
Now, the owner is seeking damages in excess of $35,000 for the use of his property without proper compensation. This legal dispute comes at a challenging time for Cardi B and Offset, who recently welcomed their third child together and are in the midst of a divorce.
We have reached out to representatives for Cardi B and Offset for comment on the lawsuit, but have not yet received a response. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
