Cardi B furiously called out a reporter after being questioned on rumours about her being pregnant.
The 'I Like It' rapper had been leaving a courtroom in Los Angeles on September 2 when she was met by journalists.
When one of the reporters asked the celebrity about speculation that she was pregnant with her fourth child, as well as rumours about the child's paternity, Cardi immediately challenged the question.
In a video posted to Instagram, the journalist can be heard to ask Cardi if she 'foresees any paternity issues' amid speculation that she is pregnant, having filed for divorce from her estranged husband Offset and being involved romantically with NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Appearing calm at first Cardi took a pen from someone nearby, apparently to sign an autograph, before seeming to throw the pen towards the reporter.
Calling it 'disrespectful', Cardi B accused the reporter of a sexist line of questioning in asking her about the speculation.
“Stop disrespecting me,” she said. “You’re disrespectful. Don’t do that.”

The star went on to wonder aloud why she never got questions like from female journalists.
She said: “Do you see women asking those types of questions to me?
“Why do you feel, as a man, you get to ask me those types of questions?”
Despite the journalist protesting that it was a 'legit question', the rapper was not fazed.

In a parting shot before getting into an SUV that was waiting for her, the rapper told the reporter: "Act like you have some manners and your mama taught you - respect women.”
It comes after Cardi B and Offset filed for divorce, with Cardi revealing that the pair had separated in a live video on Instagram.
She said: “I have been single for a minute now but I have been afraid... not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world."

In a subsequent post on Twitter, she wrote: "[Offset] you a b***h ass n**** and trust me imma f**king take it there.”
Cardi added: “Mother f**ker will try you when you are at your lowest and your most vulnerable time. You out here feeling yourself but trust me tables turn."
Cardi has had several court appearances due to an ongoing lawsuit brought by a former security guard alleging that Cardi scratched her face and spit on her in a a Beverly Hills obstetrician's office in 2018, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.
The rapper has said that she did exchange words with the former security guard, but denies spitting on her and touching her.
