Lawsuit Filed Against Cardi B and Offset for Failure to Pay for Mansion Featured in 'Like What' Video

Cardi B and Offset are currently facing a lawsuit over the use of a luxury Beverly Hills mansion featured in Cardi's music video for the song "Like What," which was directed by Offset.

The property owner has filed the lawsuit, claiming that the couple misrepresented their intentions by stating they were planning to shoot a TikTok video rather than a full-scale music video. This alleged misrepresentation allowed them to avoid paying the higher rental fees typically associated with such high-production shoots.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the homeowner permitted Cardi B, Offset, and their team to use the property for free under the belief that it was for a brief TikTok video.

The owner asserts that had he known the property would be used for a high-production music video—which has since garnered over 27 million views on YouTube—he would have charged the appropriate rental fees.

The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $35,000, noting that the mansion had previously been rented by celebrities like Justin Bieber and featured in a Logan Paul video.

In response to these allegations, Cardi B has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. She took to social media to address the lawsuit, stating, "We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours... Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video... IRON YOUR BEST SUIT BITCH I’ll see you in court!!!!" Cardi insists that she paid $10,000 upfront for 24-hour use of the mansion and additional fees for exceeding the allotted time.

She also claims that the property owner was present throughout the entire shoot, along with realtors, and was fully aware that a full music video was being filmed, not just a TikTok clip.

This legal battle comes at a challenging time for the couple, who recently welcomed their third child together amid ongoing divorce proceedings. Despite the legal drama, Cardi B remains adamant about proving her case in court.
