CHARLES: NOW TO SOMETHING. LIGHT. HARVEY: TO SOMETHING LIGHTER. CARDI B HAS A GOOD DEFENSE IN.

THE LAWSUIT WHERE SHE IS BEING. SUED. CHARLES: SHE HAS A DEFENSE. WE'LL LET THE JUDGE DECIDE IF.

IT'S A GOOD ONE. HARVEY: THE GUY IS NOT BLACK, THE GUY IS NOT BLACK. CHARLES: THE GUY SUING ME IS. NOT BLACK, THEREFORE, THROW THE.

WHOLE THING OUT, JUDGE. SHE IS TALKING ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. SHE WAS HIT WITH OVER HER ALBUM. COVER.

THIS WAS THE ALBUM ART ON THE. MIX TAPE. HARVEY: WE CAN'T SHOW. EVERYTHING HERE.

CHARLES: THERE IS, WHAT YOU'RE. SEEING THERE IS THE BACK OF A. MAN WHO IS PERFORM AN ACT ON. CARDI.

THE LAWSUIT IS OVER THE TATTOO. ON THE BACK. THE GUY WHO SUED, LOOK, THE. TATTOO THAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE.

ALBUM COVER -- HARVEY: IT'S HIS TATTOO. CHARLES: IT'S MY TATTOO. THEY SAW MY PHOTO ON THE. INTERNET.

IT'S A TIGER FIGHTING A SNAKE. IT'S VERY UNIQUE, HE SAYS AND. THEY CLEARLY HAVE RIPPED OFF MY. BACK TATTOO.

WELL, CARDI SAYS THAT'S ABSURD. BECAUSE YOU'RE A WHITE GUY FROM. ORANGE COUNTY, THE GUY IN THE. PHOTO IS CLEARLY AN.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN -- HARVEY: IT DOESN'T ANSWER THE. QUESTION -- CHARLES: ABOUT THE ART. HARVEY: EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE. SAME TATTOO ON HIS BACK, IF IT.

COPIES THE TATTOO OF THIS GUY, THEN IT'S HIS WORK. CHARLES: THE GUY'S RACE, WHITE. OR BLACK DOESN'T MATTER. HARVEY: IT DOESN'T MATTER.

VAN: IT'S FUN TO TALK ABOUT. HARVEY: ABSOLUTELY, A GREAT. HEADLINE. VAN: IT'S FUN TO TALK ABOUT.

LISTEN, I'M NOT A LAWYER, HARVEY, I HAVE HEARD THAT YOU. ARE. AND SO IN THESE SITUATIONS, I. DON'T KNOW WHERE PEOPLE COME UP.

FOR THESE SORT OF EXCUSES OR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CARDI. JUST WORKED UP. HARVEY: WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IS WHY DO PEOPLE COPY STUFF. WHERE THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO. GET IN TROUBLE AND NOT JUST DO. ORIGINAL STUFF, THEY'RE ARTISTS.

VAN: IN TERMS A MIX TAPE, A LOT. OF SHENANIGANS HAPPEN ON THE. COVER OF MIX TAPES. CHARLES: THE RECORD LABEL HAS.

NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. VAN: A MIX TAPE OR SOMETHING, YOU PUT OUT YOURSELF, I HAVE. SEEN MIX TAPES OF PICTURES OUT. OF MAGAZINES, YOU PUT THEM ON.

THERE. NORMALLY THEY'RE SMALL ENOUGH. WHERE THEY DON'T CATCH THE EYE. OF PEOPLE.

A RUMOR OF A KIM KARDASHIAN. STORY NOT TOO LONG AGO WHERE. SOMEBODY TOOK A PICTURE OF HER. AND PUT IT ON THE COVER OF A.

FLIER OR MIX TAPE AND SHE GOT. MAD. THEY SAY TAKE MY FACE OFF YOUR. MIX TAPE.

CHARLES: OR IN THIS CASE, MY. BACK..
