In August, Cardi and Offset were targeted in a swatting hoax at the Atlanta home.
In a dramatic incident recorded on police bodycam footage, officers responded to their home in the early hours of August 10, 2023, following reports of a shooting.

‘Houses that [Offset] liked there was always a room I didn’t like that we couldn’t agreed on. And a couple houses that I liked [Offset] said NO because the areas they [were] in are not [too] good,’ she explained via Instagram Story in 2019.
