Bhad Bhabie, the “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, was left “shaken up” after being detained by police in a case of mistaken identity. The incident occurred on Tuesday, June 11, at a gas station near Woodland Hills, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. Bregoli’s Mercedes-Benz matched the description of a vehicle used by a burglary suspect in the area, leading to the confusion.
Footage shows Bhad Bhabie surrounded by several LAPD officers during the incident. The 21-year-old rapper and OnlyFans star later addressed the situation on social media, explaining: “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.” She added, “We are okay but a bit shaken up. Luckily my daughter was not in the vehicle at the time.”
This mistaken incident comes just a few months after Bhad Bhabie welcomed her first child with her boyfriend, Le Vaughn. She announced the birth of her daughter, Kali, by posting a photo of herself holding her newborn on social media. Bhabie had first revealed her pregnancy last November with a series of photos showcasing her baby bump, captioned: “[pink heart emoji] ITS [bow emoji] A [pink heart emoji] GIRL [sparkly-heart emoji].”
Fans had already begun speculating about her pregnancy after she was spotted hiding her stomach during an outing in November. The recent police detainment added to what has already been a significant period in Bhad Bhabie’s life, marked by the arrival of her daughter and her continued rise as an online personality. Despite the scare, Bhabie and her family are safe, though understandably rattled by the incident.
