Woman in fight at Cardi B event responds to viral moment"},"content":{"rendered":"\n


A fan who got into two fights at Cardi B\u2019s meet-and-greet claimed the fights were the result of an overly aggressive security guard, an antagonizing fan who called her a \u201cBIA\u201d, \u201cb\u2014-\u201d and a \u201cdog\u201d and backlash from claims that she didn\u2019t purchase a CD.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmoney Karat Gold, the fighter, and Christopher Libane, another Cardi B fan who witnessed the start of the fight from inside Fingerprints, told The Viking how the initial fight with the security guard began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just turnt it up you know and I\u2019m like shoot, if I\u2019m going to leave I\u2019m going to leave with a grand entrance and a grand exit right after,\u201d Gold said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libane told the story that fans were inside Fingerprints close to meeting Cardi B, when Gold began cutting people in line which infuriated those behind her, and the security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, she was drinking straight out the bottle the whole time and you know I thought she was funny because was saying some unhinged wild things, but she was clearly like Cardi\u2019s biggest fan of all the people that I had seen throughout the day, she kind of dressed like her, kind of had you know a little bit of the same attitude and mannerisms,\u201d said Libane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Gold claimed to not have been drunk, she did claim to have drank while in line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI was drinking a little bit \u2018cause I\u2019m just having a good time. I\u2019m kid free, you know, it\u2019s a nice day out,\u201d Gold said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold told the incident more in depth stating that she asked people in line to cut because she had an event to attend at 6 p.m. and realized it was already 6:12 p.m., so she asked a few people in line if she could cut ahead. She felt comfortable requesting because she and the people around her had spent hours bonding while waiting to meet Cardi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been saving these spots, while everybody goes to the bathroom, come back, it was no drama, it was all just hyped up, and so when we get in there and I ask them if I can skip a couple of people, a few people said yeah and when it stopped, when they said no, it stopped right there and I said ok,\u201d Gold recalled in an interview with The Viking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold said that she cut one fan who had a daughter, and that even though he let her cut, he became upset when he thought that Blue Cherry, her cousin who came with her to the event and was holding Gold\u2019s original spot in line, was going to cut as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold told him that she was calling Cherry to tell her to go outside because Cherry didn\u2019t have a wristband to meet Cardi B, but the dad became upset and didn\u2019t believe her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He repeated out loud many times \u201coh that\u2019s wrong,\u201d \u201cthat\u2019s messed up,\u201d according to Gold and that\u2019s what got the security\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold felt he kept repeating the phrases on purpose to get the security guard\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libane confirmed that Gold did argue with fans, and according to him as well the security tried to solve the situation by telling Gold to get back in line, and she listened. Then he claimed that while she was in line, she mouthed under her breath multiple times about how upset she was with security, saying words like \u201cf\u2014 that guy\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold claims that security pulled her to the side to talk to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI come to the side, I\u2019m like okay, I\u2019m right here whatever, what\u2019s going on? I didn\u2019t cut in front of nobody, I asked everybody, \u2018he was like I don\u2019t want to hear it, you\u2019re being hostile, get out\u201d, and so I\u2019m like I\u2019m not being hostile, but you know what, I just want my CD. He was like, “go get it somewhere else,\u201d Gold said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She expressed that she was upset at that moment because she had come that day to get her CD that she had already paid for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI snapped, it triggered me because after he told me I needed to go purchase it somewhere else or come back later, he says, \u2018you lied anyway\u2019, so that\u2019s where it really pumped me up because I\u2019m a Scorpio, I need nothing but the truth, you ain\u2019t gonna lie on me\u2026 whatcha mean I\u2019m lying, I\u2019m lying about a $23 CD that I purchased to support Cardi B, another woman that\u2019s just like me, a mother, you know what I\u2019m saying? Out here struggling, getting out the mud, getting out the gutter.\u201d Gold said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libane expressed that he felt security handled the situation too harshly, and said that he believes \u201cthe security was on a power trip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSecurity was definitely, in my opinion, abusing their security power\u2026 He didn\u2019t need to go that hard over somebody like, he\u2019s like 300 pounds, she\u2019s like 110 pounds, there was clearly a weight dynamic difference,\u201d Libane said. <\/p>\n\n\n

Libane described Gold as \u201ca crowd fluffer\u201d and \u201ca motivational speaker\u201d who said phrases like \u201cyou’re that b\u2014\u201d and \u201cyou go girl\u201d to people in line, and said she kept him entertained the whole time they were waiting in line with her personality. He even was excited by the fact that, because she was ahead of him once she cut people in line, he would have the chance to see her interaction with Cardi B. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t deserve to be tricked, she was tricked to get out\u2026 he was trying to manipulate her to be like, \u2018oh\u2019 all sweet like \u2018oh just come out, we\u2019re just going to have a talk, we\u2019re just going to have a talk, let\u2019s just go outside\u2019, and then that\u2019s why things went off on the outside, because he didn\u2019t fulfill what he was saying,\u201d said Libane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libane expressed that he thinks Fingerprints needs to be more prepared for the demographic of fans that their events bring, since Cardi B promotes drinking and partying in her music. He claims they should have been more tolerant of the drunk fan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my eyes, it was such an injustice.. We don\u2019t know if this opportunity is going to come again, and she got robbed of that one time meeting her idol. And I just feel like Fingerprints definitely needs to make it right in some capacity, because yeah, it was definitely on the security guard,\u201d said Libane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of Fingerprints, Rand Foster, shared that the security didn\u2019t work for Fingerprints but was hired for the event by Cardi B\u2019s team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Gold got escorted outside and the fight between her and the security guard happened, Gold drove back to the front of Fingerprints and got in another fight, this time with a fan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster described the fight, confirming that the fan who Gold said called her a \u201cBIA\u201d was antagonizing her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo then she got drunk and then came back, dropped her car in the lane, like in the next lane over, jumped out of the car, ran over and punched the guy a bunch of times, and everybody was like he totally had it coming because he had been bugging her all day,\u201d said Foster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold recounted the moment when the fan disrespected her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo as I was arguing with them, this guy comes up and he comes with a camera in my face and he\u2019s like \u2018aha you look like a BIA\u2019. I look like a BIA? \u2026he started calling me a dog and all this and all that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stated that he was singing the lyrics of Cardi\u2019s song \u201cPretty & Petty\u201d at her, which is on her new album, where Cardi calls BIA “a lap dog\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold explained the fight, in the same order as Foster and added that in the midst of her arguing with the security guard and the fan who was antagonizing her, a Fingerprints employee gave her cousin her CD, which came with a broken case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold\u2019s cousin, Blue Cherry, said Esteban Contreras, the man who antagonized her, made her feel uncomfortable and in her own words she said \u201che was such a weird, creep, pedo\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was like oh who are you, you’re really pretty, he was like really creepy about it. Then when he was coming up the car I was like you need to back up, and he was like ‘Why are you being like that, I just want to be your friend, let me get a handshake,'” Cherry said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He called her pretty when he was arguing with Gold up front at the store after the fight with security. He insisted on making up with Cherry when he went up to the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Viking reached out to Contreras to ask for his side of the story, but he did not respond after a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold had some last words during the interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was an iconic moment for me, not because I was out here crashing out, but because you know I stood up for myself, and I\u2019m not going to let nobody run me over,\u201d said Gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold left off with a message for Cardi B saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to support her till the day I die\u201d and \u201cmost definitely, if she needs me to do a video, I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
