A heated exchange between Cardi B and the lawyer for a man suing her for copyright infringement got so intense that the judge briefly stopped the trial.
The Grammy winner delivered pointed answers to several questions by attorney A. Barry Cappello, who is representing a man who claims the rapper misused his likeness on the cover of a 2016 mixtape.
The rapper said she felt Brophy hadn't suffered any consequences as a result of the artwork, yet has harassed her legally for five years. At one point she said she missed a special moment with her youngest child, who recently turned 1-year-old. Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, said an artist used only a "small portion" of the tattoos without her knowledge. She had previously said the cover art - created by Timm Gooden - was transformative fair use of Brophy's likeness.Cappello said Gooden was paid $50 to create a design but was then told to find another tattoo after he turned in an initial draft. He said Gooden googled "back tattoos" before he found an image and pasted it on the cover.
She said the image hasn't hindered Brophy's employment with a popular surf and skate apparel brand or his ability to travel the world for opportunities.
