Cardi B‘s wild story about an LAPD drug search that resulted in her getting stripped naked was to have been a tall tale, law enforcement sources seem to be saying.
Describing the scenario in a deeper-than-usual voice in an Instagram Live stream on Monday (March 25), Cardi switched back to her regular tone at the end as she laughed and thanked her fans for supporting her new single.

Some observers speculated that she may have been joking – and according to TMZ, she probably was.
On Tuesday (March 26), the outlet reported that they’d spoken with multiple sources within the LAPD who said there is no evidence that the situation ever occurred. A rep for the rapper told the outlet they had no comment.

In her initial story, Cardi B claimed that law enforcement officers accused her of selling drugs without realizing who she was.
“They had all the helicopters in LA,” she said. “Yo, I was freaking out. They had me outside for like three hours. They had me getting butt-naked outside. Shit was crazy. It was deadass a movie and whatever, but you already know.

“I’m about to sue the LAPD. I told them, like, ‘Yo, I’m Cardi B. Do I look like I gotta sell some shit? Why would I do that? I would never pull no shit like that.’”
She continued: “They didn’t believe me. It was some white cops and they ain’t know who I was. They was really tough on me and everything. They said somebody gave them a clue. I really feel like it was one of my opps and shit, like they really trying to ruin my life type shit. Y’all don’t even fucking know. I been going through a lot lately.”
In other news, the single Cardi thanked fans for supporting, “Enough (Miami),” arrived earlier this month.
The cut features menacing synths and trap-inspired drums with a minimal beat that gives Cardi plenty of room to showcase her ferocious bars.

“One bitch, two bitch, old bitch, new bitch/ None of y’all bitches not gon’ do shit/ I’m in Miami, I pull up on cruise ship/ You in Miami, four hoеs to a room shit,” she raps on the blockbuster single.
The track debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
