The rapper went live on IG from a hospital bed Monday, where she’d been laid up for a few days -- and despite being under the weather, she didn't hold back, venting, "Motherf***ers have taken s*** too f***ing far when you mess with my f***ing kids."

00:00Cardi B, there are a couple of mysteries here.
00:02One is, why is she in the hospital?
00:05That's actually the lesser of the mysteries here,
00:07at least as far as Cardi's concerned.
00:09Obviously, she knows why she's in the hospital.
00:10The bigger is, who made a particular phone call?
00:13A phone call to Child Protective Services
00:17that had the agency coming out to Cardi's house,
00:21and she is livid.
00:23Now, obviously, the reason she's livid
00:25is there's nothing going on with her kids.
00:28Her kids are not being abused.
00:30But the call claimed that.
00:32Claimed that the kids were being beaten
00:34actively at that moment.
00:36At that moment, at 11 o'clock at night,
00:38I believe it was a Sunday night.
00:40And so, CPS did its due diligence.
00:43They came out to the house.
00:45And you gotta realize that when CPS does this,
00:49they have to see the kids.
00:50And so, you're waking the kids up, alarming them.
00:54Cardi's in the hospital, so that's a problem right there.
00:58She is livid, livid.
01:01I'm gonna sue Child Protective Services
01:03for coming to my house at whatever time it comes.
01:08And I'm also gonna sue the person that did this.
01:11I'm gonna hire the best private investigator
01:13in the whole country.
01:15Because y'all take joking,
01:17and y'all take a little too far.
01:21Don't you ever in your life play with my kids?
01:25My kids have never been touched.
01:27Never got hit.
01:28No matter how annoying they are, I never hit my kids.
01:31Y'all going to die.
01:32I'm going to beat the out of you.
01:36I'm not calling the cops on you.
01:38As soon as I know and retract that phone call,
01:41I'm going to beat the out of you.
01:43If you a man, my baby father's gonna beat the out of you.
01:48Because you thought it was okay to mess with kids.
01:52So, I just wanna say one thing.
01:54Because when I was a reporter at CBS in Los Angeles,
01:57I did 22 stories on the Department of Children
02:02and Family Services.
02:04And one of the things that we found,
02:08and we made a big deal of this,
02:10kids were dying because the social workers
02:13weren't going out to the houses enough,
02:14and there were budgetary issues and everything else.
02:16So, I get Cardi's upset,
02:18but CBS is doing its job when they go out.
02:22The real issue is, who made the call?
02:24Who made the call?
02:25She's definitely not going to have any luck suing them.
02:27Because like you said, they're just doing their job.
02:29But the real scumbag here is whoever the person was
02:32who made this call.
02:34And I don't think, I mean, I know she said
02:36she has a lot of money,
02:37can probably hire the best private investigator
02:39that money can buy.
02:40I don't know if they're going to have any luck
02:43because these calls have to come in anonymously.
02:45So, I don't think she's ever going to-
02:46So, that CBS can do their work.
02:48She's never going to find out.
02:50Because CBS, they want people to call in anonymously.
02:54So, they're not going to give up the phone number.
02:56So, it's a problem though.
02:58The one good news is like you guys said,
02:59she is in the hospital,
03:00but clearly she's doing well enough
03:02to hop on Instagram Live that this made her that angry,
03:05but she's at least feeling up to that.
03:07Like we said, we have no clue why she's in the hospital.
03:10But I mean, this is a very similar
03:13kind of like the swatting things we see
03:16where people will swat homes.
03:19But they did it with her kids essentially.
03:21Usually they call and say that there's someone with a gun,
03:24someone's being held hostage
03:25and the cops send out, go out full force.
03:28This obviously for Cardi is a lot more serious
03:32because it is someone involving her kids.
03:36I just, like you said, I get why she's upset,
03:39but she's, I don't know.
03:42She's not going to get the justice she's hoping for here.
03:44Well, she's not,
03:45but you can totally understand why she's upset.
03:48And again, it's the,
03:50I think there's an extra layer here
03:52that she wasn't even at home to comfort the kids
03:56when CPS shows up at 11 o'clock at night on a Sunday.
04:00I mean, it is alarming for any kid,
04:03for something like that to happen.
04:05So I get it.
04:06I totally get it.
04:07Totally, very serious situation,
04:09but in classic Cardi fashion,
04:10she's like, no matter how annoying my kids are,
04:13I've never beaten them.
04:14It's like, good on Cardi.
04:16Also, you probably, if you're,
04:17if you are going to find this person,
04:20you probably don't want to tell the world
04:21that you're going to beat the hell out of them.
04:23You've already signaled the attack.
04:26And it gets you in a little,
04:27it gets you in a little bit of trouble
04:29when you've already kind of announced it.
04:31Now you end up getting in trouble
04:32if you do find the person, Cardi.
04:34Not a good idea.
04:36Hi, my name is Rayshawn.
04:37I'm from Florida.
04:38And I just want to say that I personally feel like
04:41Cardi B is definitely a great mother.
04:42Like I can tell that she's definitely the type of mother
04:45to do the utmost for her children.
04:47You know what I mean?
04:48So I feel like she was just speaking from a place of hurt.
04:51And I know that she's not going to really like
04:53do anything to harm anybody else,
04:55but I hope she gets the justice
04:56that she deserves for her family.
04:58Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:59The only reason she's not going to
05:01is because she's not going to find the person.
05:02Yeah, if she found the person,
05:04do you think she, oh, kumbaya, really?
05:07I don't think she will kumbaya,
05:09but I feel like she would definitely press charges,
05:11for sure, for sure.
05:13Well, okay.
05:14After she beats him.
05:15Yeah.
