Public sighting
Cardi B's recent public appearance and alleged swatting incident
Before her hospitalization, Cardi B was last seen in public at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn, New York, on October 15. This health update comes days after she alleged that an anonymous caller reported her to Child Protective Services (CPS) for abusing her kids. The rapper shares three kids with estranged husband Offset: daughter Kulture (6), son Wave (3), and a newborn daughter born in September.
Legal action
Cardi B vowed to take legal action over CPS incident
Speaking during an Instagram Live, Cardi B vowed to get to the bottom of the alleged prank call. She slammed the caller for their insensitivity and vowed to take legal action against both CPS and the person who made the call. "Don't you ever in your...life play with my motherhood or my ex-husband's fatherhood," she warned. To note, the 32-year-old rapper and singer filed for divorce from Offset in July.
