Cardi B checked bouncers at a Miami club after a group of Black women told her that security wasn’t allowing “sisters” in.
A video of the “WAP” rapper speaking up for the group at E11even, a popular Miami strip club, circulated online. Cardi is seen preparing to enter the spot with hubby Offset, and an unidentified woman grabbed the rapper’s attention to put her on about the situation.
She explained to Cardi that security denied them entrance to the hotspot because she and her clique were Black. The woman also revealed that her husband “played football,” and they could afford to buy a table if necessary.
”Hey Cardi, they not even letting the sisters in tonight, girl, at the front door. My husband plays football, and they not letting us in,” she continued. “We couldn’t even buy a table.”
Cardi graciously approached the woman, and after she heard their story– she then rolled up to the bouncers, saying, “Y’all need to let some Black women in here.”
“Let the Black women in here. … Security, let them in.”
The bouncer never addressed the women but asked the rapper, “Who do you want in?”
The bouncer informed the “I Like It Like That” emcee that he would allow the group to enter E11even, but he wanted her to go in first.
The woman who stopped Cardi told security, “We’ll be patient, we’ll be patient. And I got you.”
It was never confirmed if the women entered the spot.

E11even, according to Trip Advisor, has its fair share of negative reviews for being discriminatory. The “upscale show club” boasts 20,000 sq. ft. but doesn’t necessarily tout itself as an overpriced strip club.
The incident isn’t the first time a Miami nightclub has been accused of being racist.
In 2012, a security guard reportedly told a group of women that they couldn’t enter because one was Black.
Staff at the Arkadia Lounge inside the Fountainbleau Hotel Miami were reportedly solely allowing white women in.
Katuschca Jubuisson told NBC 6 that she and her friends watched only white women enter the club for over an hour in the lobby.
“Oh, I definitely know I didn’t get in because I am an African-American,” Jubuisson said. “It really sickens me because of the fact that I have given plenty of money to the Fountainebleau.”
She revealed one bouncer, who felt sorry for the women, told the crew, ”I don’t think that you’re going to get in because you are black.”
The women would eventually file a lawsuit against the hotel and its nightclub.
