Cardi B turned heads on Tuesday night as she left a charity fundraiser at The Little Door in West Hollywood, looking sensational in a low-cut pink dress. The glamorous outing comes on the heels of a controversial incident involving the Los Angeles Police Department.

 

The rapper, 31, recently threatened to sue the LAPD, alleging that she was strip-searched over the weekend. However, she has since retracted her claims, admitting that there was “no truth” to her story after the LAPD stated there was no record of such an incident.

As Cardi B headed home after the fundraiser, she flaunted her incredible curves in the figure-hugging gown. The dress highlighted her hourglass physique, and she accessorized with heels and silver earrings. Her long dark hair was styled poker-straight, and she opted for a typically glamorous makeup look.

The charity event at The Little Door was a stark contrast to the drama that unfolded earlier in the week. During an Instagram Live stream on Monday, Cardi B claimed that she had been stopped by police in Los Angeles, suspected of trafficking fentanyl and possessing a gun. She described a dramatic scene involving helicopters and a strip search, but many fans speculated she was exaggerating for effect.

By Tuesday, the LAPD had informed media outlets TMZ and The Daily Beast that there was no record of any such incident. Cardi B then issued a statement to Billboard clarifying her comments: “This IG live was taken out of context and there is no truth to this story. Apologies for any confusion.”

During the Instagram Live, Cardi B recounted, “They thought I was trafficking fentanyl, and they thought I had a gun in my car, so they stopped me and everything. All the helicopters in L.A., they was outside. Yo, I was freaking out.” She added that she was “about to sue the LAPD” for the alleged incident, but later retracted the statement.

Despite the controversy, Cardi B appeared unfazed as she enjoyed her night out. Tiffany Haddish was also spotted at the same event, adding to the star-studded nature of the evening.

Cardi B’s retraction and the LAPD’s statement have left many questioning the veracity of her initial claims. A detective at the LAPD confirmed there was “no record of contact with Cardi,” and sources told TMZ that an incident as dramatic as she described would have been documented.

The star’s dramatic recounting of events on Instagram, where she spoke in a different voice and laughed at the end of her tale, led some to believe she was joking. “Alright, so no, seriously, I just wanna say thank you to my mother f***ing fans,” she added at the end of the live stream.

 

This incident follows the release of Cardi B’s new music video for her hit “Enough (Miami),” where she donned a provocative one-piece and a posh furry coat, teasing viewers by revealing her figure.

As Cardi B continues to navigate her career and personal life, her recent outing and the ensuing drama with the LAPD highlight the unpredictable and often sensational nature of her public persona. Fans and media alike remain captivated by the star, eagerly awaiting her next move.
