Cardi B alleges four men stole her credit card and spent $60,000.
The multiplatinum artist detailed the alleged crime while on Instagram Live on Monday, April 6. She said she noticed her American Express credit card was missing about two weeks ago and recently started receiving notifications about suspicious purchases. The first red flag came when she was alerted that $40,000 was spent at Saks Fifth Avenue. After initially brushing it off as one of her assistants, Cardi said she knew something was off when a $20,000 purchase at Apple went through 35 minutes later.
"Some weird s**t was happening," Cardi explained. "Before I even called my accountant, my accountant called me. 'Cause my accountants also get a notification... She was like 'Yeah some funny activity is going on.'"
Immediately after the second suspicious purchase came through, Cardi B and her accountants cut off the credit card and called the stores in question. She said they were able to obtain clear pictures of the suspects, not only using her card to make purchases, but also attempting to request cash from a Chase bank with her card.
"Y'all are going to jail," Cardi shouted after describing all four men. "Y'all going to jail by the end of the week. Yeah, I got clear pictures of y'all in all three locations."
As of this report, the four men have not been identified. Cardi B isn't the only rapper to fall victim to credit card theft. Nicki Minaj also accused several people of using her credit card without permission last year. She claimed three people made nearly $30,000 in charges within two months.
