Killer Queens: A True Crime Podcast

Cardi B’s 2025 courtroom showdown with former Beverly Hills security guard Emani Ellis was supposed to be about an alleged “violent attack.” What we got instead? Chaos. From witnesses who “weren’t there – except maybe in spirit,” to whether or not Cardi B does in fact have TWO HANDS.And Cardi B takes the stand… and proceeds to annihilate the chaos of the plaintiff’s case with a single, iconic “She looks… security heavy.” In this first half of our two-part breakdown, Tyrella and Nikita unpack the plaintiff’s side – the claims, the testimony, the courtroom absurdities, and why the jury looked confused before Cardi B even spoke a word.
