Cardi B and Offset's Home Targeted in 'Swatting' Hoax

The couple was not present during the incident, which occurred months before their announced separation.

Cardi B and Offset were victims of a 'swatting' hoax in August 2023, where a false report led to a SWAT team being dispatched to their home in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
The hoax call suggested that there had been a shooting at the couple's home and that Cardi B might have been hit.
During the incident, the couple was not at home but in Los Angeles. Offset's uncle, Derrick Cephus, was house-sitting and interacted with the police.
Swatting is a growing trend where emergency services are deceived into sending law enforcement to a location based on false reports.
Cardi B and Offset announced their separation in December 2023, months after the swatting incident.
