Cardi B is Being Sued by Her Former Manager Klenord “Shaft” Raphael is suing Cardi B after she left him last month to be managed by Solid Foundation instead. According to the claim, Raphael and his company are looking for at least $10 million in compensation. 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. Cardi B and Solid Foundation have yet to issue a comment.
