A prank call led to Child Protective Services (CPS) making an announced visit to Cardi B‘s home, and the rapper is rightfully angry about the entire ordeal.
According to Page Six, the mother of three spoke to fans on Instagram Live from a hospital bed, explaining the situation and how she plans to solve the problem. She did not say why she was in the hospital, but that she had been there for multiple days with respiratory issues.
“Motherf**kers have taken sh*t too f**king far when you mess with my fu**king kids,” ranted the 32-year-old. “I swear to you I’m gonna get to the f**king bottom bottom of it, ok? For you motherf**kers to do a little f**king prank call.”
She continued, “For the Child Protective Services to come to my f**king house? Not my house, my gated mansion at 11 p.m. while my children are sleeping because there’s an anonymous call that there been going on that, that my kids have been getting abused and beaten. Are you f**king dumb?” she questioned, adding “This is when the pranks start getting too far. You f**king assholes think that sh*t is funny and it’s not funny.”
The Grammy Award-winner also revealed her plan to uncover the anonymous person behind the visit.
“We’re the only colored people in my neighborhood completely and for motherf**kers to pop up in my house with cops and child protective services because you motherf–kers wanna do an anonymous call involving my children… I promise you this, I’m gonna sue CPS for f**king coming to my house at whatever the f**k time it is,” she explained.
“I’m gonna get to the bottom of this. I’m gonna hire the best private investigator in the whole f**king country because y’all take joking and y’all take sh*t a little too far.”

The rant continued, “We don’t play that sh*t. My kids live great. My kids have never been touched, never gotten hit no matter how annoying they are,” she said adding, “I never hit my kids.”
Finally, the chart-topper had a promise for the prankster.
“I’m gonna find out myself and you know what you wanna know what I’m gonna do. I’m not even pressing charges on you,” she claimed. “If you’re a boy, my baby father is gonna beat you the f**k up. If you’re a woman, me and Hennessy are gonna beat you the f**k up because you playing with my motherf**king kids.”

Cardi B and Offset share three children, daughter Kulture, 6, son Wave, 3, and a newborn daughter whose name has not been publicly revealed. Although the two rappers are working through a messy divorce, the Bronx native is determined to create a healthy environment for their family.
“I feel like two weeks ago, there was a lot of beef. I feel like things are calming down right now. I don’t want to have beef with anybody that I love,” she told fans earlier this month, according to Billboard.
“All the divorce things that happen, I want peace and I want friendship. I just want, like, a healthy co-parenting relationship, and co-parenting means no f**king, no flirting … I want peace. I want to be like my mom and my dad, they don’t f**k with each other, they just there for me and my sister.”
