AceShowbiz - Cardi B's former manager is suing the rapper for allegedly turning her back on him after he put her on the path to fame. Klenord Raphael a.k.a. Shaft claims he taught the pregnant star everything she knows about entertainment and helped her make the step up from being an Instagram wannabe, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

He also alleges he's largely responsible for her breakthrough hit "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)", but she repaid her by telling her fiance Offset and others he stole from her.

According to the papers, Shaft says Offset texted him at the end of last year (2017) and threatened him, stating, "better stop play acting like u don't know u taking her s**t from her u a snake. U can't hide from me... and u not bout to play my WIFE."

Shaft claims Cardi's aides conspired to sour their relationship, and he is "disappointed" he's not part of her life. He's suing her for $10 million (GBP7.2 million).
