Rapper Cardi B was kicked out of her hotel after cops were called because a hotel manager complained about a party and marijuana odour from her room.

According to TMZ.com, the 'Bodak Yellow' singer who performed at the Times Union Center was staying at the Hilton Albany in New York.

The rapper went off accusing the staff of racism calling "racist motherf*****" and she storms out of the hotel with her entourage and an unidentified male.

The former 'Love & Hip Hop: New York' star also took to now-deleted Instagram videos claiming she was asleep and doesn't even smoke weed.

"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," she told.

"Now, if you know me, I don't even talk about smoking weed because everybody knows that I do not smoke weed -- I get very paranoid. And none of my team members smoke weed. If they was to kick us out for something else, all right, but for weed? I'm not taking that, because we do not smoke. I could get -- we could all get drug-tested. Nobody smokes. Nobody smokes, especially when I'm sleeping and I'm wild sick," the 25-year-old justified.

Last month, Cardi B whose real name, Belcalis Almanzar, became the first female rapper to hit the No. 1 position on the Billboard charts with her single 'Bodak Yellow' after a span of almost nineteen years.
