Cardi B and Offset Face Lawsuit for Unpaid Mansion in ‘Like What’ Music Video

Cardi B and Offset are facing a lawsuit regarding the use of a luxury mansion in Beverly Hills that was featured in their music video for Cardi’s song Like What, which Offset directed.

The lawsuit, filed by the property owner, alleges that the couple misrepresented their intentions, stating they were shooting a TikTok video rather than a full music video, in order to avoid paying the usual rental fees.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the homeowner permitted Cardi, Offset, and their team to use the property free of charge, under the impression that it was for a brief TikTok video. The owner claims that had he known the property was being 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 homeowner is now seeking damages exceeding £35,000.

The property, which has previously been rented by Justin Bieber and featured in a Logan Paul video, plays a significant role in the Like What music video. The lawsuit contends that Cardi B and Offset have profited from the use of the mansion without adequately compensating the homeowner.

In response, Cardi B has denied the allegations and is contesting the claims. She took to social media to address the lawsuit, asserting that she paid £10,000 in cash for 24-hour use of the mansion and incurred additional fees for exceeding the allotted time. Cardi insists that the property owner was present throughout the entire shoot, along with realtors, and that they were aware a full music video was being filmed, not merely a TikTok clip.

Cardi tweeted, “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!!!!”

The lawsuit arises at a challenging time for the couple, who recently welcomed their third child together amidst ongoing divorce proceedings. Despite the legal drama, Cardi B remains resolute about proving her case in court.
