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.

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.”

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.

Social media knows that Offset and Cardi B have a history of showering each other with lavish gifts for the heck of it. So y’all already knew that when Cardi’s birthday came around, Offset was going to go all out as he has no problem splurging on his wife/baby mama.
According to Page Six, Offset broke his piggy bank and blessed Cardi B with a half a million dollars worth of Hermès bags for her 31st birthday this past Wednesday (October 11) and while that may sound like a bunch of purses, it was actually only three. Yes, three Birkin bags damn near totaled $500,000. That’s when you know you ballin’ outta control.
Still, the couple could afford it as they’re both very successful in their careers and while it may seem like a bit much for three accessories that can easily be lost at a venue or on a plane, Cardi ain’t complaining.
Per Page Six:
Cardi B squealed as she opened the first, which contained a hot pink crocodile Kelly bag; a similar style recently sold for close to $92,000 on 1stdibs.
But her next purse blew the first out of the water.
As she shimmied to the strains of Madonna’s “Vogue,” Cardi unboxed an extremely rare Faubourg Birkin — often called the “House Birkin,” as it’s modeled after Hermès’ Paris storefront on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
One of the purses is currently listed on 1stdibs for a staggering $298,975.
“My favorite!” Cardi screamed upon unwrapping the unique carryall, joking, “I don’t even think I’m ready to see the other one.”
Offset suggested she “take a shot” before opening her last box, which housed a glossy gold-colored crocodile Birkin.
A similar version sold at a Christie’s auction in 2020 for $72,000, bringing the total value of Cardi’s birthday gifts to approximately $462,975.
Most people won’t ever touch a Hermès bag nor ever see $400K, but for Offset and Cardi B it was just another night at the Delilah in West Hollywood.

Jemele Hill has emerged as one of the more outspoken sports journalists and public figures of her era, using her massive platform to express thoughts that are often met with pushback. Hill once more sounded off in her unique way, criticizing Offset for sitting down with Bobbi Althoff for an interview.
Via X, formerly known as Twitter, Jemele Hill fired a shot at Offset for appearing on an upcoming episode of The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff. Some might remember the podcast for a viral interview with Drake as he and Althoff have a conversation in bed while the Canadian superstar sips wine.
I don’t find these types of interviews particularly enjoyable or interesting,” began Hill’s critique on X. “Instead it just sadly points out how real hip hop journalism has been practically erased. Some of the media teams behind these artists aren’t interested in them sitting down with credible people who know how to tell stories and do quality interviews. Then they wonder why an artist’s real story goes untold, neglected or that artist is misunderstood.”
In a new viral clip, Offset is seen matching wits with the typically deadpan and sarcastic Althoff and not letting her humor get the best of him. Further, Althoff’s attempt to embarrass her guest backfires as the Migos star deftly dodges and parries with his own shots.
Hill’s missive is not unlike one made by veteran Hip-Hop journalist Elliott Wilson, who made similar comments about Drake sitting down with Althoff in lieu of Black media outlets that actually know and care about his story.
Wilson previously interviewed the OVO honcho on his show, Rap Radar. Wilson also clarified that he wasn’t miffed Drake wouldn’t sit down for a second time but wondered aloud why a star of Drake’s magnitude would, in his words, “speak to us again” in a reference to Black music media.
Hill just wrapped season four of her original Spotify podcast Jemele Hill Is Unbothered this past July.

On the latest episode of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong,” Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, just learned that threatening a rapper on social media is not a good look when you’re on probation and has some pretty annoying consequences.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kenneth Petty was placed on house arrest Wednesday (Sept. 20), for his online antics after his probation officer saw his social media posts where he was creeping the streets of New York looking for Offset and making threats to the rapper over some silliness. Though nothing has come of the situation (thank goodness), it was determined that Petty violated the terms of his probation and was sentenced to 120 days of home detention for his transgression.
At least he lives in a nice home with his millionaire wife, right?
Per The Hollywood Reporter:
In a court order filed Wednesday in the Central District of California, Petty was ordered to undertake home monitoring after he “was recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.” The specific individual mentioned in the order is Offset, and the clips relate to a series of messages Petty aimed at the rapper that appeared on social media Sept. 16.
As you may or may not recall, Mr. Minaj was sentenced to three years probation back in 2022 after he pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender. In the clip that went viral and got him violated, Petty and his alleged goons are seen creeping outside a hotel where Offset was allegedly staying and offering up some threats.
All this over a row of seats at the MTV Video Music Awards. SMH.
The man knew he was on probation, and given his history, was probably aware he’d get violated for any little thing by the courts. Still, he felt the need to go on social media and let the world know he was “keeping it real.” That kind of ego and pride will get you every time.
No word on how Offset feels about Petty getting reprimanded for the video, but we’re sure he’s laughing a lot harder than he was to Petty’s original threats.
What do y’all think of Nicki’s hubby getting hit with the house arrest bid? Let us know in the comments section below.

It looks like the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B beef just went up another notch as the two women’s husbands are now squabbling on social media.
On Saturday night (Sept. 16), videos of Nicki’s hubby, Kenneth Petty, hit social media in which he and some of his goons were “outside” in New York City looking for Offset after the two got into a weird back-and-forth via Instagram DMs. It seems like Offset rubbed Petty the wrong way by sliding into one of Petty’s homie’s DMs and basically welcomed whatever smoke Petty and company had to offer by calling them “p***y” and saying they “don’t got money for war.”
Apparently, someone in Petty’s crew took to IG and threatened to slap up anybody at the VMAs if they dared to sit in their row of seats, and Offset had an opinion about it for whatever reason.
Feeling disrespected, Petty rounded up some of his peoples and took to the streets in search of Offset and posted a video of themselves calling him out as they stalked a location where Offset was supposedly laying up at. Talking about the situation and calling Offset out, the crew seemed like they were ready for whatever, but luckily, for everyone, nothing actually went down.
We’re not sure where they got their intel from but Offset wasn’t anywhere near that spot as the man was off on his grizzly living his best life. Responding to Petty and his crew’s video, Offset uploaded a video of himself laughing off the threats as he got off a private jet. “These ni**as is broke,” he said in the video.
Yeah, we’re not feeling how this situation is unfolding now. It’s one thing to have Cardi and Nicki throw shade and subliminals on records, but once their hubby’s begin to taunt each other on some street ish, that might turn into a tragic situation at some point. Cooler heads need to prevail for the sake of everyone involved.

Coach Prime and his Colorado Buffaloes are the hottest ticket in College Football and bring out all the stars to see them play.
This past weekend in Boulder, Colorado, all eyes were on a College Football rivalry matchup that generally wouldn’t even register on any sports fan’s radars.
If you needed more proof that Coach Prime and his newly revamped Colorado Buffaloes are that team, you had to look no further than what went down at Folsom Field.
Before the game kicked off, ESPN’s College Gameday was on site for the matchup between Colorado and Colorado St. that already had enough fireworks leading into the night thanks to some comments from Colorado State’s head coach.
Along with the College Gameday crew, former WWE Superstar turned Hollywood actor The Rock was on hand to support his “brother” and get the crowd even more excited for the rivalry matchup.
Once the sun set, it was time to hit the field, and Coach Prime and his team were led out on the field by Lil Wayne, who also performed his song “Ride For My N****z.”
Before the game, Coach Prime blessed Weezy with his own Buffaloes jersey during the tailgate celebration.
Other Notable Guests In The Building
Weezy and The Rock were not the only big names in the building. Fresh off his marathon stream with Kai Cenat, Offset was on hand. Rapper-turned-sports commentator Cam’ron also returned to Colorado to enjoy the game.
Even Kawhi Leonard, who many were saying jokingly doesn’t attend Los Angeles Clippers games, had to see what the big deal about the Colorado Buffaloes football under Coach Prime’s leadership is all about.
The Colorado Buffaloes are currently 3-0 after defeating Colorado St. in overtime, led by Coach Prime’s son, Shedeur Stephens. A stark difference from their 1-8 record last year. The team is currently ranked 19th in the nation.
We expect to see more big names at Colorado Buffaloes home games for the rest of the season because they have become must-see television.
