After fashion’s biggest night out, Cardi B’s security reportedly got into an altercation with an obsessed fan.

According to TMZ, the incident occurred around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning after a fan approached the Bronx-bred rapstar for an autograph, as she left a post-Met Gala event at the Mark Hotel. Although she politely declined, the fan did not back down, telling Cardi, who is expecting, “I’m an autograph hound.”

According to the publication, Arnold

said Offset was the reason he got jumped after the Met Gala. As Offset and Cardi waited inside a car outside the Mark Hotel, he said he approached the Bronx-bred rap star for an autograph. However, he said Offset was not pleased with the way he approached his woman, so he told three men in his entourage to “go after” him. That’s when he said the men beat him up.

TMZ reports that Cardi was off the scene by the time police arrived, and the Blast claims officials are not even interested in speaking with the couple. However, the incident is being investigated as a misdemeanor assault involving the three men.
