Cardi B will sit for a deposition in March 2019.

Cardi B's been involved in a legal battle with her former manager, Shaft, who claimed he jumpstarted the rapper's career before she cut him off financially. Cardi has since responded back to the ex-manager's claims with a lawsuit of her own. She sued Shaft for $15M and claimed that he was far too controlling of her career and her personal life. However, she'll be meeting with Shaft's attorney's in the first quarter of 2019 for a deposition.

According to TMZ, Cardi B has been ordered to sit down for a deposition with Shaft's manager on March 19th. She'll be testifying against Shaft about her legal battle with him. The court previously allowed Cardi to push her deposition back due to her pregnancy, but now that she's given birth to her daughter Kulture, Shaft's legal team has demanded that she be deposed over the lawsuit.

Offset might also have to sit down a deposition in the case. Cardi previously alleged that Shaft attempted to get in the middle of her relationship with the Migos rapper. A source close to Shaft previously stated Offset charged Cardi $50K for his verse on "Lick" after allegedly claiming that it would initially be $25K. Offset hasn't received a deposition date, but it's likely that it will land before April 2nd.

We'll keep you posted on Cardi B's case.
