Cardi B said she was kicked out of a Hilton Hotel in Albany, New York over something she did not do.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper is accusing “racist” police officers and hotel management of forcing her and her team to leave the hotel for allegedly smoking weed.

“You wanna know something? Albany is known for being racist,” Cardi B said in a series of Instagram video rants. “The floor that I was staying in in my hotel room, it smelled like weed. So the cops came in the middle of the night, knocking on my manager and on my door, talking about that we were smoking weed and we gotta get kicked out.”
But the four-time BET Hip Hop Award-winner insisted no one in her camp was lighting up. “And none of my team members smoke weed,” she said. “We could all get drug tests — nobody smokes. Nobody smokes. Especially when I’m sleeping and…you’re not gonna do that to me. Mind you, everybody on the floor was Caucasian but you wanna kick us out.”
“And then n****s is just gonna pick out of everybody on the floor, Caucasians, that it was us that was smoking the weed in the middle of the night?” Cardi B continued. “That s**t is not f**king right. Like, n****s was really being racists. Motherf**kers was being prejudiced and picking on who the f**k they thought that was smoking weed and you got the wrong f**king one. I’m telling you, I do not smoke weed.”
Continuing, “And I really don’t want to be the one that pulls the ‘race card,’ like, ‘Oh, they did that ’cause they’re racist,’ but that is the only explanation that I could f**king find because I don’t understand, like, lemme tell you something, I don’t walk around with a whole entourage; it just be me, my manager, my security guard, the DJ and my dancers and nobody smokes weed.”

Albany police confirmed to E! News that officers responded to a report from the hotel. No one was arrested in the incident and authorities reportedly told TMZ the hotel’s manager called cops around 1 a.m. to report a party on the second floor and the aroma of marijuana.
There was reportedly no evidence suggesting Cardi’s camp had weed on them, but they left regardless. Albany police are denying allegations of racism.
