Cardi B & Offset’s Relationship: A Timeline

While it is possible that the two never met during recording, the pair were linked nearly a month prior to the Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 2 release. In a since-deleted Instagram post by Cardi B, she danced and made it rain in the club while teasing the collaborative track.

According to a Migos interview with Rolling Stone, Offset admitted that after watching Cardi rise as an artist, he had a publicist set up a dinner in New York with a group of women, including the Bronx rapper in early 2017. “I was like, ‘Damn, I am on her!’ ” he said. “I am like, ‘S–t, I like Cardi B!’”

However, it wasn’t until the Super Bowl that the couple were first seen holding hands in public. Cardi B was also spotted in a live video streamed by Offset, which was later reposted by fan accounts.

On Valentine’s Day, Cardi B posted an Instagram video of her and her “babe” Offset. Judging by the pair’s outfits and the stadium seats in the background, it’s a video from their hot date to the Super Bowl earlier that month.

“I’m not saying I’m dating an Atlanta guy,” Cardi said during a Fader interview after being asked about the potential relationship. She refused to offer any further comment on the speculations.

Soon after, during a Migos interview with Tim Westwood, Offset only offered a playful smirk on the subject of Cardi B, while the rest of the group laughed. “Shout out Cardi B,” said Migos member Quavo. Earlier that month, Westwood received the same silent treatment when he asked Offset about his relationship to the Bronx rapper.

Cardi B and Offset were seen at the Met Gala afterparty together at 1 Oak nightclub. According to reports, the couple appeared more smitten than ever. Cardi B dressed in a dazzling blush pink sheer dress, while Offset rocked a velvet turtleneck with chains.

“It’s been a blessing, me meeting him and meeting his friends,” Cardi B told Fader about her friendship with Migos. “I see how hard they work. And that motivated me to work even harder.” While she didn’t confirm any romantic ties to the Atlanta rapper, she stated “a lot of positive things came out of that [meeting].” Later that month, the two attended the BET awards separately.

While backstage at a Meek Mill concert, Cardi B and Offset appeared happier than ever as she flashed her personalized chain gifted to her by Offset. Celebrity jeweler Elliot Avianne posted the chain to his Instagram account with the caption: “Bloody Moves.” The chain included a Cardi B-esque hand with red nails, rings and a red bandana.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Offset posted a video rocking a massive ring on his pinky finger. However, Cardi B denied engagement rumors at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. “It is not true,” she said to Us Weekly and other reporters.

Migos were on tour promoting their second album Culture in New Zealand on Cardi B’s birthday, but that didn’t stop Offset from posting adorable videos and photos of the two in honor of the big day. Offset shared an intimate video with his girlfriend, and a candid photo with the caption: “H A P P Y B D A Y U ARE AMAZING TO ME YOU GOT IT OUT DA MUDD NO HELP NOBODY WAS BELIEVING AT FIRST BUT THAT MADE YOU GO HARDER U NOT WEAK U TAKE CARE YA WHOLE FAMILY AND ME —- I L O V E Y O U.”

In her true Cardi B style, she realized the negative implications of her beau not being in town for her birthday. “Oh, my gosh, I’m not getting no dick on my birthday,” Cardi told Rolling Stone in her 2017 cover story. She wouldn’t have anyway, as she noted, “Because I got my period.”

In since-deleted Instagram posts, Cardi B captioned a selfie “single” and a separate photo “Peace nikka,” fueling rumors that she and Offset had broken up.

It wasn’t long before Cardi B reacted to the slew of breakup rumors by sending out a series of hilarious tweets. “Reasons why me and Offset got into it,” she began on Twitter, “I thought he stole my purple blanket but it wasn’t him so I’m still looking for the suspect.” The “Bodak Yellow” star also added that “on a serious note,” she is still head over heels for her man, who was “gifted to [her] from Jesus.”

During a sold-out performance for Power 99’s Powerhouse in Philadelphia, Offset got down on one knee to pop the question to the Bronx rapper on stage. Of course, the crowd went wild and Cardi B said yes. Later, she showed off the massive, $500,000 teardrop-shaped rock backstage.

Cardi B wrapped up her incredible year with the release of her single “Bartier Cardi,” making sure to reference her fiancee Offset in the lyrics: “Cardi put the p—y on Offset/Cartier, Cardi B brain on Offset.”

A video surfaced of what appeared to be Offset with another naked woman in a hotel. The Migos rapper reportedly claimed that his iCloud was hacked. Days later, a model named Celine Powell claimed to be pregnant with Offset’s baby.

Although both Offset and Cardi denied the cheating rumors, Cardi was spotted without her engagement ring during a New Year’s Eve public appearance.

In a since-deleted tweet, the Bronx rapper shared her opinion on the rumors surrounding her situation with Offset. “Why is it a problem that I want to take my time with a decision on my relationship ?” she wrote. “Why do I have to explain myself? I don’t ask ya why you still with that man that lives with his mom, that don’t pay your bills … Since when you guys had perfect relationship?”

In a since-deleted Instagram video, Cardi caresses Offset’s neck and reveals his new “Cardi B” tattoo.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Cardi B shared a video of her lip-synching and dancing along to a remix of the 2017 hit “Ahora Dice.” After an internet troll commented asking the Bronx rapper to share her “secret,” referring to a possible baby-bump stomach, Cardi fired back: “No b*tch I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace.”

As Cosmopolitan‘s April cover star, Cardi B opened up about her situation with Offset. “It’s like everybody is coming down my neck like, ‘Why are you not leaving him? You have low self-esteem.’ I don’t have low self-esteem … I know I look good,” Cardi told Cosmopolitan in an interview. “I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented. I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player. But I want to work out my s–t with my man, and I don’t got to explain why. I’m not your property. This is my life … I’m going to take my time, and I’m going to decide on my decision … it’s not right, what he f–king did — but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel.” She wrapped up with a hilarious question for her haters: “Since when are all these women dating pastors and deacons?”

Cardi B released the single “Be Careful With Me,” that would later appear on her Invasion of Privacy album. While the entire song addresses the ups and downs of their relationship, in the chorus, the rapper gives a clear warning to — who else could it be? — Offset: “Be careful with me/do you know what you doin’?/Whose feelings that you hurtin’ and bruisin’?/You gon’ gain the whole world/But is it worth the girl that you’re losin’?”

After months of denying pregnancy rumors, Cardi announced that she was in fact, pregnant with Offset’s baby. She also took the stage on Saturday Night Live to perform “Be Careful With Me” in a dazzling white gown, accentuating her now-huge baby bump.

In an interview with GQ, Cardi B once again commented on the rumors surrounding her and Offset’s rocky relationship. “For a long time we was in love with each other but we didn’t really trust in each other,” she said. “It was like a competition of who’s gonna hit each other up first. I don’t want to hit him up first; he will hit me up first. People used to put things in my head: ‘He gonna leave you. He be f–king with mad bitches.’ People used to put things in his head: ‘Cardi, she’s a dog. Don’t trust her.’ We never really trusted each other because I always feel like he could get any girl he wants — what makes me think he’s gonna want me? I think he felt the same way. N—as want to be with me, and bitches wanna be with him.”

She also mentioned that Offset is a great business partner. “I don’t really know the music business too well,” she admitted. “So I always feel like people taking advantage of me, he’s always making sure that I’m well taken care of or that I learn something.”

A pregnant Cardi B swept the crowd in a jewel-encrusted dress and matching headpiece, making her red carpet appearance with designer Jeremy Scott. Offset, on the other hand, attended the gala with his Migos members in Versace suits. Cardi B and Offset later attended the Met Gala afterparty together.

Rolling Stone‘s June cover featured pregnant Cardi with Offset kissing her belly alongside the caption, “Cardi B & Offset: A Hip Hop Love Story.”

Cardi B took to Twitter to tell the spontaneous story of her marriage to Offset in Sept. 2017. While there was no ring or dress involved, the Bronx rapper ended her announcement with another message to her haters. “Well now since you nosey lil f–ks know, at least you can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock,” she wrote.

According to TMZ, as a tribute to Offset, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, the couple decided to name their new daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus.

“When I got married with my dude, we still had a lot of doubts, because our relationship is not like everybody’s,” she told W in an interview. “He was always traveling, and I was always traveling. We’re artists. So I used to see him, like, twice a week, and, you know, he’s known for having different women, and I’m known for, like, not taking sh*t from guys. But we really loved each other, and we was scared to lose each other.”

In an interview with The New York Times, Offset hinted that he and wifey Cardi could possibly drop a joint album, Beyonce and Jay-Z style. “I have no distractions,” he told The New York Times. “And me and her? We haven’t even dropped an album yet. That’s a whole other realm.”

He also added that marrying Cardi was “the best thing that’s happened” to him. “I’d seen [Cardi’s] potential, her vision, her grind,” he said. “Whatever she does, she’s going to master it. She’s like me … she brings excitement and pressure to me, but I like that … I have a wife and a child — that changed my whole everything. I was a young hothead, but now I understand the value of life.”

Cardi B shared a video to Instagram announcing her split from Offset after a long and emotional journey.

“There you go, peace and love,” she captioned the since-deleted Instagram video.

The rapper let everyone know how he felt about the breakup with one simple tweet: “F— YALL I MISS CARDI.”

The day after his 27th birthday, Offset took to social media to comment on their relationship again, this time with a very candid apology to his ex. “I only have one birthday wish, and that’s to get my wife back,” he said in a video posted to Instagram. He went on to apologize for “breaking your heart, breaking our promise, breaking God’s promise and being a selfish, messed-up husband” and made it clear that wasn’t ready to give up: “I wanna be able to spend the rest of my life with you.”

His apology turned into an even more public affair when he crashed Cardi’s headlining set at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles that night. Offset showed up with a lavish floral arrangement that read “TAKE ME BACK, CARDI,” a gesture that didn’t go over so well. He and his flowers were quietly removed from the stage.

In a set of since-deleted videos shared on Instagram, Cardi thanked fans for their support — but politely told them to stop making Offset feel bad with negative comments on the Internet. “Violating my baby father is not going to make me feel any better, because at the end of the day, that’s still family,” she said.

“I’m not saying that I’m gonna get back together with him,” Cardi clarified. “I just don’t like that bashing online thing.”

Offset left his own thoughts on Twitter following his failed public apology to Cardi. “All of my wrongs have been made public, i figure It’s only right that my apologies are made public too,” he explained.

TMZ reported that Cardi returned to their home in Atlanta for the first time since she split with him during the previous month. In an Instagram story, she posted a screenshot of her FaceTime call where Offset was kissing Kulture. “I wanna go home,” she wrote. The TMZ report also mentioned the Migos rapper changed his cellphone number and is adhering to a “no groupies” rule to show he’s honest and faithful.

Cardi and Offset French kissed and made up ahead of the 61st Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for five awards, including album of the year. She eventually became the first female singer to win best rap album with Invasion of Privacy.

“Babe, I can’t breathe,” she exclaimed to Offset, whom she brought on stage for her acceptance speech. “You, husband, thank you. Nah, serious, because he was like, ‘You gonna do this album, girl. We gonna have this baby. We gonna make this album.’”

Cardi and Offset turned the red carpet even hotter at the 2019 BBMAs, where they smooched for their glam shots at the beginning of the night. Cardi, who led with 21 nominations and ended up winning for top rap female artist, posted an Instagram video of herself and Offset walking to the awards show with the caption, “I love you babe. Thank you for always uplifting and encouraging me and loving my crazy a–.”

In support of his debut studio album Father of Four, Offset brought out wifey for his outdoor performance of “Clout” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Cardi shared a sweet backstage photo of her and her hubby on the second anniversary of their nuptials. “9/20/17 Happy marriage anniversary hubby. We keep learning and growing.Thats what marriage about,” she captioned the post.

Offset shared a touching video montage dedicated to his woman with his “Don’t Lose Me” track, which talks about winning her back, playing in the background. “Today is our anniversary nobody believed it was real. We got married without nobody knowing because it was only between us and God! Now we have beautiful Kulture and a big family,” he wrote. “I love you 4ever and after life.”

In her January 2020 cover story interview, the “I Do” rapper publicly set the record straight for the first time why she stayed with Offset despite the cheating scandals.

“When me and my husband got into our issues—you know, he cheated and everything—and I decided to stay with him and work together with him, a lot of people were so mad at me; a lot of women felt disappointed in me,” Cardi said. “But it’s real-life sh–. If you love somebody and you stop being with them, and you’re depressed and social media is telling you not to talk to that person because he cheated, you’re not really happy on the inside until you have the conversation. Then, if you get back with them, it’s like, how could you? You let all of us down. People that be in marriages for years, when they say till death do us part, they not talking about little arguments like if you leave the fridge open. That’s including everything.”

Cardi also explained how priests were involved in their reconciliation process, which she believes concerns no one else except for the two of them. “Everybody has issues. I believe in forgiveness. I prayed on it. Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us,” she continued. “And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it’s really us against the world. He has my back for everything, I have his back for everything, so when you cheat, you’re betraying the person that has your back the most. Why would you do that? We have come to a clear understanding. For me, monogamy is the only way. I’ll beat your a– if you cheat on me.”

After two years of house hunting, the two lovebirds locked it down together in their $5.8 million Atlanta mansion, complete with a gun range and wine cellar, just in time for Christmas. Cardi didn’t mind showing off their “dream house” to her 75 million Instagram followers by posted numerous IGTV videos.

The couple’s appearance at the 62nd Grammy Awards wasn’t as PDA-packed as the year before. But this time around, the two are nominated for best rap performance for “Clout.”

Offset wrote a sweet note for Cardi on Mother’s Day underneath a candid family picture he posted on Instagram: “Happy Mother’s Day since I met you it’s been love thank you for my beautiful daughter she smart with attitude like you and talented like us both my kids and you help me become a better guy all around Thank You WIFE !!!!”

But Cardi showed just how generous Offset can be when she posted up with her presents, including lime green and turquoise Hermès Birkin bags and 36 bouquets of red, gold and purple roses (with 36 flowers in each, making for a total of 1,080 roses).

Cardi returned the love to Offset on Father’s Day by posting a picture of him with Kulture and her three half-siblings Jordan, Kody and Kalea. She separately posted an older video of Kulture saying “Baba” while tugging on her napping father’s braids. “Happy Father’s Day again !!! This still happens till this day but now she smacks him,” she captioned the cute clip.

Page Six reported officially celebrated the holiday at the newly reopened Tao LA, where their party was divided amongst different tables to abide by social distancing requirements amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset on Sept. 15 after being married for three years, according to the Fulton County Magistrate in Georgia.

The filing on Fulton County website spells out Cardi B and Offset’s real names in the contested divorce case titled “Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar vs. Kiari Kendrell Cephus.” The court documents obtained by Billboard indicate that Cardi asked the court to award her primarily legal and physical custody of their child. Their hearing was scheduled for Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. 

This came just five days before their third anniversary.

Days after filing for divorce, Cardi B explained why she was splitting from Offset. “The reason for my divorce is not because of none of that s–t that ever happened before. It’s not because of cheating,” she said on Instagram Live. “I’m seeing people be like, ‘Oh, he has a baby on the way.’ That’s a whole f–king complete lie. That’s the second time people are trying to pin babies over here. No, that’s bulls–t. I just got tired of f–king arguing. I got tired of not seeing things eye to eye.”

Two days before her 28th birthday, a billboard bearing a birthday wish popped up for Cardi B. In an Instagram video, the rapper showed off the big, pink sign, which featured a photo of her and daughter Kulture, with the message, “Happy birthday mommy Love Kulture.” In the caption, Cardi thanked an unnamed “sir” whom fans guessed was Offset.

Offset joined Cardi B to celebrate her 28th birthday in Las Vegas. After partying it up at a club — where he gifted her a Rolls Royce with a custom car seat for their daughter — the two were snapped sharing a kiss. The birthday girl and her friends then moved on to what appeared to be a lavish hotel room to continue the dancing. There, Cardi showed off some sexy moves, including twerking for Offset, who put his hand on his apparently not-so-estranged wife’s behind. In one video shared to Instagram stories, Cardi jumps on the Migos rapper, who is lying down, to give him a horizontal lap dance of sorts.

In an Instagram Live, the “WAP” rapper opened up about her relationship with Offset. “When people be saying I be doing s–t for attention, with this and that, no, I’m just a crazy b—h,” she shared. “One day I’m happy, the next day I wanna beat a n—a up … I just be starting to miss [him] … It’s hard not to talk to your best friend. It’s really hard not to talk to your best friend. And it’s really hard to have no d–k.”

Cardi revealed that she and Offset were expecting their second child when she joined Migos for their 2021 BET Awards performance. She came out in a blinged-out black outfit that featured only mesh over her belly to show off her growing baby bump.

Cardi gave birth to the couple’s second child, Wave Set Cephus, on Sept. 4, 2021, and seven months after his birth, the couple revealed the name and showed his face for the first time.

In the caption to the post, Cardi tacked on a trio of emojis that included a dinosaur, crashing wave and teddy bear. Offset also posted a pic with their son’s name, in which Wave is again staring off adorably at someone off camera while chilling in his baby bath. He is, of course, rocking a neck full of chains, including a custom piece made up of a diamond-encrusted wave — featuring the child’s name in jewels — adorned with a cute blue shark on an orange surfboard shooting the tube.

Over on Twitter, Cardi revealed that when Offset suggested the name Wave, “I was sold! THAT HAD TO BE HIS NAME!”

“We living our life normally, but deep down inside our hearts have been so heavy,” Cardi said in a since-deleted Twitter voice note according to People. “I feel like if I talk about the incident so desensitized, I feel like if we talk about how we really feel or what motherf—kers really been going through, y’all will start saying, ‘Oh, sympathy. Oh sympathy.’ And we don’t want no sympathy. We ain’t no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy.”

Cardi B stopped by the premiere of The Jason Lee Show and opened up about her relationship with Offset and how they worked through a rough patch in their marriage.

“Me and Offset, we was not seeing eye to eye. This was, like, the same year that I filed for divorce and everything,” the rapper told host and close pal Jason Lee. “The main thing that was really bothering me, I’m gonna let him say it himself … I want him to say it because I feel like that’s really part of his story.

“The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed. And it showed me that he wanted to change for me,” she continued. 

Cardi also reflected on discovering she was pregnant with daughter Kulture when she and the Migos rapper “wasn’t on really good terms.”

“And I was so scared,” she said. “I was scared to tell Atlantic, I was scared to tell my team because we had worked so hard. I had worked so hard and everything and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, like, what’s gonna happen after this?’ I just had this feeling, like, it’s going to be OK.”

The Cardi B & Offset Meal at McDonald’s launched, and included a blend of each of their go-to menu items plus their favorites to split on date night.

In Cardi B’s section of the meal, fans will get a classic McDonald’s cheeseburger paired with tangy BBQ sauce and a large Coca-Cola. Offset’s meal, meanwhile, has a Quarter Pounder with cheese and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst juice. To top things off, the meal comes with a large order of french fries and a flakey apple pie to share.

“I love my man he really HIMothyyy,” Cardi wrote on Twitter alongside a video of the couple’s foyer, which was decorated with nine massive bouquets of roses in tall glass vases. “My man really is HIM!!!! I’m never getting off from him !!!!!!!!”

The rapper took to Twitter Spaces to shut down Offset’s apparent claims that she cheated on him. “Listen. Don’t pay attention that country man y’all,” she said in the three-minute clip, after singing the opening lines of Keyshia Cole’s “I Should Have Cheated.” “Don’t pay attention the country man. That Spaces the other day got motherf—ers spiraling and thinking s—. Come on now. I’m f—ing Cardi B, n—. I think sometimes mother—ers forget. I’m Cardi B. If I was giving this p—- to anybody it be not just anybody. Can’t f— regular-degular-shmegular, ’cause they gonna tell the world. And I can’t f— anybody in the industry, ’cause they gonna tell too. Y’all ever heard that Rubi Rose record where she says ‘got a big a– mouth?’”

She concluded, “So please boy, stop acting stupid. Stop acting Stupid. Going crazy over a f—ing space. Don’t play with me. What the f—. Stop playing. Thats all I’m gonna mother—ing say.”

Just hours before, Offset seemed to have posted and quickly deleted an Instagram Story accusing his wife of cheating on him.

Cardi and ‘Set proved once again that the latest cheating allegation was behind them when they dropped their collaborative track “Jealousy,” which calls out the haters who speculate about their marriage. What’s more, the accompanying music video directed by Offset also features the couples two kids, as well as ‘Set’s three older kids from previous relationships.

“[Offset’s family] is his No. 1 priority,” an insider told Billboard of the rapper’s decision to include all of his kids in the music video. “He’s making sure they are involved.”

The Migos rapper appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and opened up about how he re-established trust with Cardi B after he was caught cheating.

“First off by like respecting her position, right?” Offset told host Alex Cooper. “Stop being selfish. You’re married to this woman, be dedicated to this woman. And also, just like being more communicative about s–t. … If you don’t like some s–t, tell me. And if I don’t like some s–t, I’ll tell you. We talk and communication is key. Not communicating f–ks s–t up.”

Cardi B sang her husband’s praises in a tweet. “So proud of my baby!!” she wrote at the time. “Going against all odds… leaving his label, starting fresh, staying focused determined and not letting nothing break him… he did that!”

The “Bongos” rapper alluded to trouble in a pair of Instagram Stories in early December. “You know when you grow out of relationships,” she first wrote in an all text message. She quickly followed that with a second that read, “I’m of protecting peoples feelings…I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!”

After the cryptic messages, followers noticed that she and husband Offset had unfollowed each other on the social media platform, leading to speculation that the two were again experiencing trouble in their marriage.

After Blueface alleged in a since-deleted tweet that his ex-girlfriend Chrisean Rock had been intimate with Offset, the “Jealousy” rapper insisted that he never hooked up with the “Mr. Take Ya B—h” artist. “I ain’t never talk or touch that lady,” Offset tweeted in response to Blueface. (Chrisean also denied the allegation in her own tweet.)

The “Bongos” rapper confirmed in an Instagram Live that she is single. “I’ve been single for a minute now but I have been afraid to like — not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world,” she said. “I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”

“This motherf—er really likes to play games with me at my most vulnerable time. When I’m not the most confident,” a teary-eyed Cardi said to her followers in a video captured by The Neighborhood Talk. “He likes to play games with me because he knows that I’m not an easy girl.”

She continued, “You’ve really been feeling yourself… because of your b—- a– album and s—. And you really been doing me dirty after so many f—ing years that I motherf—ing helped your a–. Not even a f—ing thank you that I got from your b—- a–.”

Though the “I Like It” rapper didn’t indicate what brought the emotions on, she concluded by noting, “And it’s so crazy that I have to go to the f—ing internet because whenever I tell you something you don’t say s— to me and I’m so tired of it.”

Cardi revealed in an X live chat on Jan. 1, 2024, that not only had she and estranged husband Offset partied on New Year’s Eve together, they were intimate. “Was I clubbing with my baby father yesterday?” she told fans who tuned in. “Yes. Did I got d—ed down yesterday? Absolutely baby… I need some d–k on New Year’s Eve.”

For fans wondering whether the rappers were back together, Cardi shared that the answer was no. “Did I say I was back together with somebody?” the “WAP” rapper said, according to HuffPo.

Cardi dropped the music video for her new song “Like What (Freestyle)” in which she channels Missy Elliott. At the end of the visual, it is revealed that the video was directed by Offset, who in late February urged the “Bongos” artist to release her new album.

The pair was spotted in videos from fans appearing on the big screen while sitting together courtside at the New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night (April 30). Additionally, Offset took to his Instagram Stories to share a sweet video of Cardi hanging out in a home movie theater seat, dressed in a sleek plaid mini skirt and fluffy boots, paired with stacks of luxurious jewelry and a Birkin bag.

Offset made sure to shower Cardi with gifts on Mother’s Day 2024, gifting her several large bouquets and three gleaming chain necklaces. Sharing photos of the haul on Instagram, the “I Like It” artist gushed that she felt “spoiled.”

In a candid interview with Rolling Stone for the star’s cover story, Cardi opened up about why she and ‘Set never seem to say broken up for long. “It’s not even about love,” she told the publication, revealing that she and her husband were “thinking [their marriage] through.”

“We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system,’” she added. “It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

Cardi filed for a divorce from Offset a second time, her rep confirmed to Billboard. The rep also said that the decision was “not based on any one particular incident … it has been a long time coming and is amicable.”

According to Page Six, who first broke the news, the “WAP” artist requested primary custody of their kids.

Just one day after placing her second divorce filing, Cardi revealed that she was pregnant with her third child. “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!” she wrote in an Instagram announcement, showing off her bump in a glamorous maternity shoot.

“You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!” she added. “I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Cardi and ‘Set’s third child arrived on Sept. 7, 2024, the “WAP” rapper revealed on Instagram five days after the birth. Sharing photos from the hospital, she wrote, “The prettiest lil thing … 9/7/24.”
