Finally, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that officials "were notified of an unverified threat to the artist and the artist canceled this evening’s concert - there is no immediate threat to public safety, this not an active incident."
Earlier this week Cardi met with Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. It is understood that she recorded a campaign video for the Senator, who will run for President in 2020.
