Cardi B has threatened legal action against the anonymous caller who reported her to child protective services (CPS) as a prank.
The “Bodak Yellow” star went live on Instagram from her hospital bed on Monday night, sharing that CPS officers performed a wellness check at her home after receiving a report of child abuse from an unidentified caller.
“For child protective services to show up at my gated mansion at 11 p.m. while my kids are sleeping because of an anonymous call claiming my children are being abused? Are you kidding me?” she exclaimed. “This is where pranks go too far.”
She added, “We’re the only people of color in my neighborhood, and for someone to send the cops and CPS to my house over an anonymous call involving my kids… I promise you, I’m going to sue CPS for coming to my home at whatever time it was.”
The rapper, a mother of three, then announced her intention to hire a private investigator to “get to the bottom” of the situation and ultimately sue the person who made the call.
Visibly upset, Cardi expressed her outrage over the situation, highlighting the seriousness of having law enforcement and CPS show up at her home based on an unfounded anonymous report. She emphasized the impact of such actions, especially as a mother of three, and stated her plan to hire a private investigator to identify the caller, with intentions to take legal action against them.
