\u201cAs long as she doesn\u2019t drug and rob our agents, we\u2019ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,\u201d the DHS wrote. <\/p>\n

Cardi B kicked off her Little Miss Drama Tour at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, Calif., on Wednesday (Feb. 11), which saw her condemn United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement after giving a Selena impression to fire up the Latinos in the crowd. <\/p>\n

\u201cB\u2014h! If ICE comes in here, we gon\u2019 jump they a\u2014es,\u201d she said, which drew applause. \u201cI\u2019ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain\u2019t taking my fans, b\u2014h.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardi B fired back on Thursday afternoon, bringing up the files surrounding serial rapist and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in August 2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf we talking about drugs let\u2019s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them,\u201d she clapped back on X. \u201cWhy yall don\u2019t wanna talk about the Epstein files?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cardi B (@iamcardib) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Homeland Security\u2019s jab at Cardi calls back to her stripper past, which saw her admit to drugging and robbing clients when she worked as a dancer in the 2010s. <\/p>\n

In March 2019, Cardi released a statement<\/a> addressing the backlash. The Billboard Hot 100-topping artist opened up about her past practices as a stripper to make a living, which came from a resurfaced 2016 video that was going viral at the time, featuring the Bronx native\u2019s admissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to go strip, I had to go, \u2018Oh yeah, you want to f\u2014k me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let\u2019s go back to this hotel,\u2019 and I drugged n\u2014as up, and I robbed them. That\u2019s what I used to do,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n

With fans expressing their dismay, Cardi attempted to clarify the viral clip on social media. \u201cSo I\u2019m seeing on social media that a live I did 3 years ago has popped back up,\u201d she wrote in 2019. \u201cA live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do make a living\u2026 I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world wit a perfect past I always speak my truth \u2014 I always own my s\u2014t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cWAP\u201d rapper returns to the stage this weekend when she brings the Little Miss Drama Tour to Las Vegas on Friday night (Feb. 13) and Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 15). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
