“WAP” hitmaker Cardi B wants answers. She took to social media last night to ask her fans for help in identifying a man that she states held her cousin hostage after asking for a ride. The star offered followers $10k for any help they could provide.
She took to her instagram stories last night. In the video she asked “you guys got any information over that lovely man that i posted.? I cannot see DM’s, all of them, so just tag me in the pictures. Make sure your page is not private, and tag me, and yeah.”
The internet quickly began accusing Cardi of “breaking code” for going on social media with the request, even stating that the star was putting a bounty on the man’s head. She first took to twitter to clarifying stating “I’m not putting a bounty just want some info and if I did this man put a gun on somebody’s head rob them,and kept them hostage !”
