A drug-dealing mother sent videos of herself commenting on the quality of her cocaine — and the footage ended up in the hands of police.

Separating lines of powder, she continues: 'That's fish scale and that's coke... Oh Cam, honest to God babe, I wouldn't kick off and that, right, but you know the price he paid for it and that.
'Can you just sort him a teenth and an eighth out... Because it's f***ing coming back on me, it is babe. And I'd be the same, mind, if I paid that for that.
