Bhad Bhabie was detained by police in a case of mistaken identity this week.
The rapper, 20 – who is best known for her viral Cash Me Outside catchphrase – was filmed surrounded by police officers and squad cars at a 76 gas station near Woodland Hills, California, in a video obtained by TMZ.
The star – real name Danielle Bregoli – was seen talking to police – with sources revealing she had been driving her Mercedes when she was followed by three patrol cars. When she stopped at the gas station, they swarmed her.
She was detained for a brief period but let go after an investigation.
Law enforcement sources told the publication police were responding to a burglary radio call on the 4500 block of Winnetka Circle in Woodland Hills – with the star’s Mercedes matching the description of the burglary suspect.

Officers spoke with Bhad Bhabie and her boyfriend Le Vaughn and have them their business cards, with the star said to be cooperative.
The star released a statement on the incident, writing: ‘Yesterday we got pulled over by LAPD. They eventually released us and explained they were looking for a similar vehicle that matched the description of a car involved in criminal activity.
‘We are okay but a bit shaken up. Luckily my daughter was not in the vehicle at the time.’
The star welcomed daughter Kali Love in March.
Having announced late last year in December that she was expecting her first child, she opened up to People about how she first discovered she was pregnant while also revealing her name.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘We are okay but a bit shaken up. Luckily my daughter was not in the vehicle at the time.’
Bregoli explained: ‘The name doesn’t really have any specific meaning.
‘It’s just his mom picked the middle name and then I had a list of five names I liked, and Kali was one of them.’
The influencer added, ‘I thought that Love went good with Kali.’
She found out she was pregnant last year in July and recalled
‘I was a day late and I took a test — but I took a test only a day late — because I was just eating so much and I felt like something was off,’ she explained.
She said the test came back positive, and she immediately went to tell her boyfriend even though he ‘was still asleep’ because she was ‘just too eager to tell him’.
‘I probably could have did it in a cute way, but I just woke him up and was like, “Look, look, look!”‘
Later that same month, Bregoli did a gender reveal via a Marc Jacobs campaign.
The Gucci Flip Flops rapper and Le Vaughn began dating in July 2020 and have been together for over three years.
In early December 2023, Bhabie announced that she was pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend. He has a son from a previous relationship.
She took to Instagram to share two mirror selfies, in which she wore a figure-hugging, white camisole showcasing off her baby bump.
In the since-deleted post, she opted out of a caption as she shared the exciting news with her followers.
Over a month ago in February, Bhabie shared photos from their lavish baby shower.
Bhabie first rose to fame after her viral appearance on Dr. Phil in 2016 in which she coined her signature catchphrase: ‘Cash me outside. How bout dat?’
