Cardi B, a new mother of three, resorted to Instagram Live to call out the prankster who told on her to Child Protective Services, alleging that her three kids were in danger. Seemingly in a hospital bed, the 32-year-old Grammy winner pledged to hire celebrity attorney Drew Findling to hit back at cops and the person responsible.

The WAP singer told her 165 million followers, even as she couldn’t “even breathe right now,” that the pranksters have taken things too far when they mess with her kids. She vowed to “get to the bottom of it.”

Cardi B continued, revealing that CPS came to her “gated mansion at 11 p.m.” while her children were asleep “because there’s an anonymous call that there been going on that, that my kids have been getting abused and beaten.” She reiterated that the prank had gone “too far” and was “not funny.”

The internet seemingly concurred, with many pointing out that bothering Cardi B was uncalled for. The video began circulating on X, and many chimed in to share their thoughts. One user shared,

“That’s messed up for someone to do. However, by law if CPS gets a call about child neglect they have to follow up on it. & they can’t give out the information on who made the call. You can’t Sue them for doing their jobs.”

Several others pointed out that there are more dire situations where CPS could have been; instead, they were responding to the prank call. However, several noted that it was unfair of Cardi B to sue the agency because they were “just doing their jobs.”

“Ok.. I understand your frustration.. Even though this was wrong..Child protective services are doing their job. Suing for doing what is in their legal right to investigate will not be much of a defense. Were your children removed from your home or custody? You do need to get to the bottom of the initial caller. All calls, regardless if you live in a mansion, a private home or cardboard box will be investigated. Especially if they believe children are in danger. Sorry for the inconvenience, but just because you are a celebrity, the laws apply to you as well..-Good Luck,” one user penned.

“they forget that she has won all the lawsuits and has best lawyers that person better count their days,” another chimed in.

“she can’t sue CPS for doing their job i’m honestly not sure she can even sue the people that called because that’s confidential and CPS can’t disclose that information,” yet another pointed out.

Others, however, began speculating about the caller’s identity. Many began positing that the culprit was likely a Barbz, i.e., a Nicki Minaj fan.

“This has barbs written all over it,” one user shared.

“Is this new? It looks like she’s in the hospital. I hope she’s OK. Genuinely, I really hope she’s OK,” another prayed for the rapper.

“Love cardi down but she doesn’t have a case….. she needs to find out who the initial caller was and maybe go from there,” someone else suggested.

It remains to be seen how the case pans out for the culprit and just how far Cardi B really goes.
