Cardi B Hospitalized, Misses ONE MusicFest Amid Health Emergency and CPS Scare Over Prank Call
October 22, 2024
Cardi B announced on social media that she is recovering from a medical emergency and will not perform at the ONE MusicFest in Atlanta, expressing sadness over missing the event.
This hospitalization follows the birth of her third child with ex-husband Offset, which occurred on September 7, 2024.
While in the hospital, Cardi revealed that a prank call led to Child Protective Services (CPS) visiting her home on October 21, prompting significant concern.
The prank call falsely claimed that her children were being abused, which angered Cardi and led her to vow to take action against the caller.
She plans to hire a private investigator to identify the caller and intends to sue both the anonymous caller and CPS for the distress caused.
Cardi expressed her outrage over the prank, stating it went too far and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Cardi emphasized that such pranks are not funny and highlighted the emotional toll it takes on her family, particularly during this challenging time.
Despite her ongoing divorce from Offset, Cardi stated that they prioritize their children's happiness and safety, asserting that her children have never been abused.
This cancellation follows a series of emotional posts where Cardi reflected on her relationship with Offset, with whom she shares three children.
The CPS visit was prompted by an anonymous call expressing concerns about the safety of her children, Kulture, Wave, and her newborn daughter.
Cardi thanked her fans for their understanding during her recovery and the challenges she is currently facing.
As of now, representatives for Cardi and CPS have not responded to requests for comment regarding the incident.
