Over the past few years, swatting has become the method of choice for MAGA cult members who look to criminally harass anyone who criticizes or in any way opposes their past, present and future king, Donald Trump.
More recent victims include Judge Tanya Chutken and Special Counsel Jack Smith, who are both involved in court cases against the Insurrectionist-In-Chief, but apparently Cardi B and Offset too were swatted last summer after someone called authorities and falsely reported an incident at their property. According to TMZ, a hater called police claiming that shots had been fired at the home that then happily wed Cardi B and Offset shared in Georgia.
Like with any other swatting incident, police took the matter seriously and rolled up to the rappers’ home ready for any kind of standoff or shootout that might’ve unfolded on the property.
Per TMZ:
One officer notes in the police report that a caller claimed someone fired a shot at a “famous rapper’s house” and even suggested Cardi herself may have been hit with a bullet … so cops came with lights and sirens, and with their firearms drawn.
Fortunately … cops say the call turned out to be BS — something officers discovered when they arrived at the property and talked to Offset’s uncle, Derrick Cephus, who said he was house-sitting. Yep, it sounds like Cardi and Offset weren’t even home for this swatting attempt …. just a confused relative!
After some back-and-forth, said relative calls up an audibly upset Offset, who was annoyed that such a situation had unfolded. Luckily, no one was hurt during the encounter.
As to why anyone would decide to swat Cardi B and Offset is anyone’s guess. Though she has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump in the past, she hasn’t touched on Cheeto Jesus in quite some time. We guess people out there just had nothing better to do than dwell on some old sh*t.

Weeks after Cardi B and Offset had social media buzzing about their separation, the Bronx rapper and ATLien were seen ringing in the New Year together, and once again, seemingly on the road to reconciliation.
Still, that doesn’t mean the two are actually getting back together. According to TMZ, they have no plans to repair the relationship anytime soon, if ever. Though the two were spotted at a strip club in Miami, popping bottles and making it rain on the talent in attendance, the two simply turnt up for old time’s sake and even got busy afterwards. But they aren’t too keen on actually getting back together.
Taking to social media, Cardi admitted to creating the beast with two backs with her “ex” hubby but didn’t say they were officially working things out.
Relationships in 2023, right?
Though many feel this is just the first step to reconciliation, it doesn’t seem like that is actually the case. At least not yet.
TMZ reports:
In fact, Cardi has a message for folks thinking she’s back with Offset … “we not together.. we together when I say so not when you THINK so.”
Thing is … Cardi and Offset were both in Miami for work … they each had NYE gigs at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Offset performed at LIV and Cardi poolside – making this rendezvous pretty easy.
Naturally, fans were astonished at the unforeseen developments and took to social media to chime in on Cardi’s latest curveball. But that didn’t seem to bother the Grammy Award-winning rapper, who had a message for everyone on her X page.
If we’ve learned one thing about Cardi B, it’s that she’s going to do what she wants, when she wants and with who she wants, regardless of how anyone feels.

Paying Cardi B might not be the only person the habitual tea spiller, Tasha K, has to worry about. Kevin Hart is now coming for whatever coins she has left.
Spotted on The Blast, comedian/actor Kevin Hart is clapping back at Tasha K via legal avenues, accusing her of extortion and defamation.
The lawsuit comes after Tasha K dropped the latest Unwine With Tasha K episode featuring Hart’s former assistant, Miesha Shakes, accusing her former boss of being a serial adulterer and a responsible gambler.
[embedded content]
According to the legal documents obtained by the website, Hart initially hit Tasha K with a cease and desist letter and let her know he was not playing the 6 figure fee to stop her from posting the interview.
Per The Blast:
In the filing, Kevin’s legal team says on November 22, 2023, they sent a letter to Tasha K regarding her “recent and ongoing violations of civil and criminal law.” Addressed with the infamous YouTuber’s real name, Latasha Transrina Kebe, the filing demanded that she “immediately cease and desist all such activity.” It continued:
“You have already engaged in criminal conduct and tortious acts that would entitle Mr. Hart to monetary damages against you should he elect to commence civil litigation regarding this matter. To the extent that you do not cease and desist now, your liability for such monetary damages will increase, as will your exposure to criminal penalties.”
Per The Blast’s reporting, Hart’s legal rep, Donte Mills, said an unknown person associated with acting on Tasha K’s instructions reached out to someone on Hart’s team, saying they would “publish a damaging story on social media (the “Story”).
If Hart didn’t want the story published, he would have to pay $250,000.
Social Media Is Clowning Tasha K
As expected, the reactions on X, formerly Twitter, are coming in, and they are all clowning Tasha K for not learning her lesson from the Cardi B situation.
“Everything Tasha K owns must be in her little niece name or something, cause she has clearly made a choice about how she moves,” Music Sermon creator Naima Cochran wrote on X.
LOL.

It seems Cardi B and Offset are in a really bad place. She recently went off on social media and said he did her wrong.
The Bronx bombshell recently went on Instagram Live to vent and did not hold anything back. Even though she didn’t show her face, the “Bongos” rapper was clearly upset as she was trying her best to hold back tears. “This motherf****er really likes to play games with me at my most vulnerable time. When I’m not the most confident,” she revealed. “He likes to play games with me because he knows that I’m not an easy girl.”
She would go on to allege that the Migos front man has not been honoring his marital vows. “You’ve really been feeling yourself… because of your bi*** a** album and sh*t. And you really been doing me dirty after so many f****ing years that I motherf***ing helped your a**,” she added. “Not even a f***ing thank you that I got from your bi*** a**.” Cardi added, “And it’s so crazy that I have to go to the f***ing internet because whenever I tell you something you don’t say sh*t to me and I’m so tired of it.”
Last week, Bardi confirmed the rumors that two have split up. “I’ve been single for a minute now. But I have been afraid… Not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign” she stated. “I don’t know if you guys have been getting clues from me, from my Lives, or from my Stories, when I put some certain music, or find my unfollowings.”
Offset has yet to comment on the matter. You can watch Cardi B’s Live below.

Love is dead, long live love. Cardi B has confirmed that she is single—and X is in shambles.
Speculation started that the Bronx rapper and her husband, Migos rapper Offset, were on shaky terms, once again, when they unfollowed each other on social media. Then during a recent Instagram live she confirmed that she’s properly single.
“I’ve been single for a minute now,” she said during the Live. “But I have been afraid to like—not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign.”
This story is developing.

Could there be trouble in the paradise that Cardi B and Offset have built for themselves over the last few years?
We don’t know, but whenever a couple unfollows each other on social media, that’s never a good sign. According to TMZ, in the wee hours between Monday (Dec. 4) and Tuesday (Dec. 5), both Cardi and Offset have removed themselves from each other’s Instagram pages while Cardi B posted about looking out for numero uno (herself) in her IG Stories.
TMZ reports:
She writes, “I’m tired of protecting peoples feelings…I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.”
Offset, meanwhile, also appears to be referring to problems in their dynamic — posting a famous clip from “Scarface” where Tony Montana is yelling at his old friend about being the one who put their operation together and being responsible for their success.
There’s nothing really beyond that … but their respective posting is telling in and of itself, although it’s unclear what the latest issue between them might be. There’s always something.
Not for nothing, but it’s always something between these two, respectfully. Whether it’s rumors that someone was unfaithful to the other or they just shower each other with ridiculously lavish gifts, these two know how to get people talking about their business. However, unfollowing each other is definitely a big thing in the age of social media. For many, that’s a sure sign that things are officially a wrap, allegedly.
Still, their marriage has survived all kinds of ups and downs during their six years of wedded bliss, so who’s to say this isn’t just another bump in the road that these two have traveled together while making that cream? Don’t be surprised if the two reconcile before the week is out and drop another collaborative cut by the weekend. That’s just how they do.

If you’re a political hopeful or veteran hoping for a Cardi B endorsement, it’s not coming. The Bronx rapper is washing her hands of politics.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper is fed up with the current political system and expressed her frustrations during an Instagram Live session.
Cardi B, who has always been quite vocal about politics and what is happening in the country and globally, was BIG MAD about NYC Mayor Eric Adam’s proposed budget cuts.
Mayor Mixxy’s 5% budget cuts will affect a bunch of NYC departments to help compensate for the billions of dollars that the city has to spend to take care of asylum seekers who have come to the city.
The New York Post reports that Adams plans to cut $32 million from the sanitation department, $74 million from the FDNY, and $547 million from the Department of Education.
Adams will also be getting rid of a bunch of street garbage cans in the outer boroughs, and 34 popular cultural institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Natural History will see their budgets cut by $6 million, according to the New York Post.
Mayor Adams Reasoning For The Severe Cuts
Regardless of there being a legitimate reason for the severe cuts, the Grammy Award-winning artist is not here for them, claiming things like the city will be “drowning in rats” (that’s been a problem forever) due to cuts to sanitation and crime will “go through the roof” because of the cuts coming to the NYPD.
“In New York, there is a $120m budget cut that’s going to affect schools, public libraries, and the police department. And a $5m budget cut in sanitation … We are gonna be drowning in … rats,” Cardi B said during the live session.
Mayor Adams might be on the side of Cardi B, who warned that more cuts would be necessary without additional federal funding to help manage the influx of migrants in NYC.
Per The Guardian:
Migrant costs are going up, tax revenue growth is slowing, and [Covid-19] stimulus funding is drying up,” Adams said in a statement.
“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, today’s budget will be only the beginning.
Cardi B Is No Longer Endorsing Presidents
The Biden Administration has not agreed to Mayor Adam’s pleas for funding amid the growing criticism for the continued funding to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion and Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas, something Bardi touched on in her passionate IG Live along with announcing she is no longer endorsing presidents.
“I’m endorsing no presidents no more,” Cardi B said. “Joe Biden is talking about, ‘Yeah, we can fund two wars,’… talking about, ‘Yeah, we got it, we’re the greatest nation.’ No … we’re not. We don’t got it, and we’re going through some shit right now. So say it!”
She continued, “We are really, really, really f**ked right now. No, we cannot fund these … wars.”
Someone asked if the country is going “broke,” she replied, “Yes, it is. We ain’t got McDonald’s money.” Despite her claims, the country has seen some solid economic numbers. You can read about that here.
Further condemning Biden’s alleged terrible handling of the economy and foreign policy, she said, “Feed that … to somebody else, twinkle, but don’t feed it to me.” She then promised to ” get to the bottom of it.”
We will await those findings.
X Users React
Elon Musk’s sorry platform X has been a hotbed for discourse since Israel began bombing Gaza in retaliation to Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7.
Many have called on political leaders, mainly Democrats, including President Joe Biden, to call for a ceasefire in protests across the globe.
Recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been the target of many protests, and other Democrats. Still, some are pointing out the fact that the House of Representatives is currently under Republican control and are wondering why that energy isn’t being applied to the GOP and its batsh*t crazy members.
Many responded to Cardi B’s video by pointing out that she was aiming her valid criticisms in the wrong direction and that the Biden/Harris administration has nothing to do with New York City’s budget.
One thing is for sure: the upcoming presidential election will be a hot mess. We hope Cardi B and others understand that there is a lot on the line with a GOP hell-bent on “Making America White oops Great Again.”
Until then, you can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Will Smith became the new subject of a video tell-all by Tasha K, and Cardi B has come to his defense.
Celebrity blogger Tasha K made a post on X, formerly Twitter on Monday (November 13) highlighting an interview on her UnWine With Tasha K show with Brother Bilal, a former friend of Will Smith. “Will Smith will WISH this interview NEVER happened! This is one of the closest people to Will aside from Jada to sit down and tell all about him.” she wrote. In the interview, Bilal claimed that he walked in on Smith and actor Duane Martin engaged in sexual intercourse among other
salacious claims.
The uproar caught the attention of Will Smith, whose representative stated that the claims by Bilal were “completely fabricated” and “unequivocally false.” Cardi B went further and expressed her anger in an Instagram Live session on Wednesday (November 15). “I don’t like how I got fooled a couple of weeks ago..some people just never change,” she began in the video which was shared onto the X platform referring to Tasha K. Tasha K still owes Cardi B $3 million in legal damages.
“I don’t like what people be doing to Will Smith. I be feeling like Will Smith is very unproblematic and I feel like he has a nice heart, and that’s the thing,” she continued. “I found out that Will Smith is a Libra…Libras, we be getting tried, we be getting tried, and then when we outburst, we outburst so f—ing heavy, that we become the ones in the wrong. Cardi B also had words for those running with the claims, saying: “As a journalist, you should be able to determine whether someone is bulls——ing or not.”
Tasha K may be facing a new whirlwind of trouble after the Will Smith video. When asked by reporters about the situation after her appearance at the iHeart Radio stations in Manhattan, Jada Pinkett Smith shouted out “We suing” before exiting the scene. Tasha K has also been named in a lawsuit filed by R. Kelly at the beginning of the week, where the convicted singer claims that U.S. Bureau of Prisons officials leaked his personal information to the YouTuber to air on her show before his trial in Illinois on sexual assault charges.

Will Smith is once again the talk of the internet, and it has nothing to do with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir, but a rumor of him getting freaky with his bestie, Duane Martin. The hilarious part is that this all started on Tasha K’s show, and now the internet is chiming in on her potentially having to pay Cardi B and Will Smith as well.
Okay, here’s a brief rundown of the mess. Brother Bilaal, a man claiming to be Will Smith’s former assistant, decided to take his “tea” to Tasha K’s talk show series, UNWINEWITHTASHAK.
Brother Bilaal told Tasha K that he allegedly walked in on Will Smith and Duane Martin getting freaky, adding to the long-rumored entanglement between the two actors and friends.
As we previously reported, Will Smith’s rep shot down Brother Bilaal’s claims, noting that legal action is being considered.
In an upcoming Breakfast Club Interview, Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, said that legal action is coming and Brother Bilaal was part of a “money shakedown that didn’t work.”
Jada also claimed that Will Smtih laughed at the idea he was getting his cheeks clapped by Duane Martin.
Social Media Users Think Tasha K Hates Money
X users are also throwing shots at Tasha K, who still owes Cardi B money after a judge ruled that the blogger must pay the Bronx Hip-Hop star more than $3.4 million for spreading salacious lies about the “Bodak Yellow” crafter.
“Tasha K is already losing her home and her car, hiding assets in Africa to avoid paying Cardi B the 4 million dollars she owes. She’s REALLY about to find out fucking with the Smiths,” one X user wrote.
Tasha K tried to get out of paying what she still owes to Cardi B in attempting to file for bankruptcy, but the judge said NAH!
Even pedophile crooner R. Kelly is getting in on the sue Tasha K movement. But that’s a whole other story.
Tasha K, you’re well on your way to being broke for the rest of your life, and it’s only because you can’t seem to stay out of people’s business. m
