Legal issues: Cardi B, 30, looked her best in a sleek black sweater dress on Thursday while leaving a courthouse in Santa Ana, Calif., where she’s fighting a $5 million lawsuit

Cardi showcased her hourglass figure in the cozy sweater dress, which featured ribs running vertically.

The short-sleeve look revealed her arms and a hint of her tattoos, while the skirt reached down to her knees.

The WAP rapper’s lustrous raven tresses were parted down the middle and reached to her shoulders.

She elevated her 5ft3in stature with pointy black heels featuring clear plastic straps, and she accessorized with a chic silver quilted Chanel handbag that dangled from her arm.

As she stepped out of the Orange County courthouse, Cardi was seen being led through a throng of reporters.

The musician is being sued by Kevin Michael Brophy for $5 million on claims of copyright infringement.

Brophy’s tattoo was used on the cover of her 2016 debut mixtape Gangsta B**** Music Vol. 1, which shows her in the backseat of a car with her legs spread apart while a shirtless man has his head between them, presumably to perform oral 𝑠e𝑥.

Cardi has said that the cover artist, Timm Gooden, found Brophy’s tattoo online and inserted a portion of it into the final image without her knowledge of where it came from.

The rapper has claimed the final image is transformative enough to circumvent copyright protections, and she has denied that Brophy suffered distress over the cover, as only part of the tattoo is shown, and the model is a Black man, while Brophy is white.

Pricy: Kevin Brophy is suing her for $5 million using his back tattoo on a 2016 mixtape cover, though it was photoshopped onto a different model

Defense: The rapper has claimed the final image is transformative enough to circumvent copyright protections, as only part of it is shown and a Black model is used, while Brophy is white

‘Their life has been disrupted,’ Brophy’s attorney A. Barry Cappello contended in court, referring to his client’s family, according to the Associated Press.

While defending his client, Cardi’s attorney Peter Anderson downplayed claims that people who know Brophy could mistake the model for him, as Brophy also has neck tattoos that are not present on the cover model.

On Wednesday, the judge overseeing the trial briefly stopped the proceedings to admonish both sides after Cappello and Cardi got into a heated argument while she was testifying on the stand.

After sending the jury out, the judge chastised both sides and described the argument as ‘unprofessional’ and ‘not productive,’ according to the AP.

The plaintiff’s attorney and the defendant went back and forth over the cover image, with Cardi reportedly getting angry by some of his questions.

She pointed out that Brophy’s face was not shown in the photo and bristled when Cappello asked about her knowledge of photo-editing softwares.

Fighting back: Cardi has also contended that Brophy didn’t suffer distress, as he has kept his job and his marriage and doesn’t appear to have had his employment prospects negatively affected

Decompressing: After leaving court, the hitmaker (born Belcalis Almánzar) shared a short clip of herself still dressed in her court attire while listening to Sorrows by Bryson Tiller

‘It’s not your client’s back,’ she reportedly told the lawyer.

She also contended that he has not suffered, as he didn’t appear to have lost his job or been hindered with his employment prospects.

After leaving court, the hitmaker (born Belcalis Almánzar) shared a short clip of herself still dressed in her court attire while listening to Sorrows by Bryson Tiller.

She mouthed along with the lyrics while running her fingers through her hair, before flashing a peace sign at the camera.
