Cardi B To Win Back $350K In Lawsuit Over Back Tattoo

Kevin Brophy tried to sue the Cardi B for using his back tattoo on her debut 2016 mixtape Gangsta B***h Music, Vol. 1‘s album cover without her permission.

While the jury ruled in Cardi’s favor back in October of 2022, it seemed like Brophy still tried to appeal the case- until very recently.

On Monday (June 12), his lawyers told a federal judge that they would repay the $350,000 she spent on legal efforts defending herself. Not only that, but they also made it clear that their client would willingly drop any and all efforts to bring the case back to court.

In addition, the (former) prosecution waived opportunities for further appeals. Of course, a question in people’s minds might be as to why Brophy’s team would want to do this- especially so many months after a verdict.

Well, one possibility is that they caught wind of Cardi B’s team preparing to formally demand repayment for her attorney’s fees. Such a process could have netted them even more cash in an uglier fashion, so perhaps it was best to be preemptive.

“The parties now have reached an agreement avoiding the necessity of defendants’ motion for attorney’s fees and application to tax costs,” both sides stated in Monday’s motion.

As such, Cardi B’s team also waives the right to seek further awards for legal fees.
