Cardi B is facing a lawsuit for defamation from a group of beachgoers she branded "racist MAGA supporters" earlier this month.
The 'WAP' hitmaker shared footage of an alleged altercation between her sister, Hennessy Carolina, and her girlfriend Michelle Diaz and the group at Smith Point Beach on 6 September, and claimed the couple had been harassed over their car parking "all because they are a Afro/Hispanic gay couple."
However, in the lawsuit - which also names Hennessy and Michelle - the beachgoers alleged the two women harassed them and then defamed them by posting edited video and commentary about the incident on social media.
The plaintiffs attorney, John Ray, told ABC 7 New York: "These peaceful Suffolk County residents were quietly enjoying a Sunday at the Smith Point beach with their families, when rap celebrity Hennessy Carolina suddenly approached them, raging, spitting, insulting, assaulting, defaming and threatening them, all the while videotaping them because one of them wore a MAGA hat.
