Cardi B Drops Lawsuit Threats Against Trump Advisor

0:00On March 1st, Cardi B has backed off her lawsuit threats against Trump adviser Alex Brusewitz after a fiery online spat. The clash kicked off over claims that Nicki Minaj's social media buzz was pumped up by bots, and they quickly turned personal. It all started when Brusewitz slammed a political story on the body shoe, pointing to possible links between the researchers and Cardi's team. Cardi hid back hard at first, demanding proof and warning of legal action. But she soon pulled back, saying she wanted no trouble with government insiders. She worried about surveillance, or worse, like threats to her safety or family, and deleted her aggressive posts. Brusewitz took the win and stride, posting online that he forgave her, and thanked her for dropping the threats. The original report from the firm Ceeabra found over 18,000 bots boosting Minaj's posts on various platforms. Brusewitz plans to dive deeper into the drama on a podcast next week, as fans watch how this rap versus politics viewed plays out.
