Cardi B has expressed her outrage after an anonymous caller falsely reported her to Child Protective Services (CPS), claiming she was abusing her three children. The rapper, who shares three kids with her husband Offset, vowed to take legal action against the individual responsible for the disturbing prank.
The Grammy-winning artist took to Instagram Live on October 22, 2024, to address the situation from a hospital bed, where she mentioned being admitted since October 19. Cardi didn’t hold back in condemning the actions of the anonymous tipster, who sent CPS and police to her home in the middle of the night.
“I swear to you I’m gonna get to the bottom of it,” she declared. “For someone to make a prank call to Child Protective Services at 11 p.m., claiming my kids are being abused, while they’re sleeping in my gated mansion… Are you dumb? This is where pranks go too far.”

Cardi went on to explain how she and Offset take exceptional care of their children. Their 6-year-old daughter, Kulture, attends a private school with a tuition of $45,000 per year, and they pay $700 daily for a nanny to care for their newborn. She stressed that her children are well cared for and have never experienced any form of abuse.
The rapper also highlighted the racial aspect of the incident, noting that her family is the only one of color in their neighborhood. She expressed frustration that someone would weaponize CPS in such a malicious way, adding, “We’re the only people of color in my neighborhood, and for someone to send CPS to my home is beyond disrespectful.”
Cardi made it clear she’s not taking the incident lightly, stating that she would be reaching out to her lawyer and private investigators to track down the caller. She also hinted at taking the matter into her own hands if the perpetrator is found, threatening to sue both CPS and the individual responsible for the false report.
“If it’s a boy, Offset is going to handle it. If it’s a woman, me and my sister Hennessy will deal with it,” Cardi warned.
This isn’t the first time Cardi has dealt with public scrutiny, but this incident marks a new low for the star, as it involves her children. Cardi is determined to protect her family and make sure the person responsible faces consequences.
Fans and followers have expressed their support for Cardi, with many condemning the invasive and harmful prank. As the rapper continues to work with legal authorities, it’s clear that she’s ready to go to any length to ensure her family’s safety and well-being.
