Cardi B is not holding back in her response to the prank caller who reported her children to Child Protective Services, making it clear that the real danger lies with the caller.

In an intense Instagram Live session from her hospital bed on Monday, where she has been for several days, the rapper vented her frustrations and threatened the caller, who allegedly told CPS that her three children, whom she shares with her estranged husband Offset, were being abused and beaten.

According to Cardi B, Child Protective Services arrived at her gated mansion around 11 PM.

From her hospital bed, Cardi B went on a full-blown rant, telling the prank caller that when she finds out who it was, she’s ready to "beat the sh-t" out of them.

The rapper insists that her children are enjoying life and that she has never harmed them in any way. “We don’t play that sh-t. My kids live great,” she continued. “My kids have never been touched, never gotten hit, no matter how annoying they are. I never hit my kids.”

She condemned the prank call as a serious overstep, adding that they are the only family of color in their neighborhood. “We’re the only colored people in my neighborhood completely and for motherf-ckers to pop up in my house with cops and child protective services because you motherf-ckers wanna do an anonymous call involving my children?"

Cardi shares her three children with ex-husband Offset, with whom she filed for divorce in August after six years of marriage. The estranged couple welcomed their third child, a daughter, in September. They also have a six-year-old daughter, Kulture, and a three-year-old son, Wave, born in 2018 and 2021, respectively.

“For the Child Protective Services to come to my f-cking house?” she continued. “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 my kids have been getting abused and beaten. Are you f-cking dumb?”

But she didn't stop there. "Y'all are going to die ... I'm going to beat the sh-t out of you," she said in her live video. "If you're a man, my baby father is gonna beat the sh-t out of you because you thought it was okay to mess with our f-cking kids, stop f-cking playing!"
