Cardi B claimed she was setting up a fund raising page to support the star of Netflix's 'Tiger King'.

However shortly after Cardi made her bold claim, a representative for GoFundMe claimed Cardi would not be able to raise money for Joe Exotic on their platform as it violated the company's policies.

According to TMZ, a rep for GoFundMe explained that 'Money CANNOT be raised on its platform to fund the defence of inmates convicted of violent crimes'.

Joe Exotic is currently in prison after being found guilty of a plot to murder arch -ival Carole Baskin and Cardi was hoping to raise money for the Big Cat collector's defence team.

After the news about Cardi not being able to raise money for Joe Exotic on the platform broke, the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper took to Twitter once more to claim she was just kidding.

Cardi tweeted, 'omg I was just playing. I do love him tho and he deff needed better representation . oooooooooooooooooo here Kitty Kitty'.

Joe Exotic continues to claim he has been wrongfully imprisoned for the attempted murder for hire of Big Car Rescue owner Carole Baskin.
