*Cardi B has been hit with a $10 million dollar lawsuit by a man who claims he’s her former manager, and he wants her to pay up what he feels she owes him.
According to reports, Klenord Raphael, aka “Shaft”, has filed a federal lawsuit against the “Love & Hip Hop” reality star. Shaft says he responsible for orchestrating her hit single, “Bodak Yellow” and he helped launch her career, treating her “… as if she was his daughter.”
A spokesperson for Shaft said in a statement:
“Since discovering Cardi B in 2015, Shaft has played an integral role in developing her music career and public image. While he is proud of their successful collaborations as she evolved from Instagram influencer to music megastar, Shaft is disappointed by her actions to freeze him out of her career, which are detailed in the complaint.”
