(ThyBlackMan.com) Cardi B, the outspoken and unapologetically bold rapper, has never shied away from speaking her truth, especially when it comes to her turbulent relationship with Offset, her estranged husband and the father of her three children. As their ongoing saga continues to unravel in front of millions, recent accusations have escalated the already fiery situation, leaving fans, the media, and even the couple themselves, embroiled in a messy public dispute.
On September 25th, Cardi took to Instagram Live, addressing the pain, hurt, and lingering frustration that have come to define her complicated relationship with Offset. The former Migos rapper, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, added fuel to the fire by accusing Cardi of cheating on him while pregnant, commenting, “U f–ked with a baby inside, tell the truth!!” Naturally, Cardi did not take these accusations lightly, firing back with a cryptic yet loaded response on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “AND DID!!!!!!” Fans were quick to speculate that this could be her confirming Offset’s claim.
The couple, who share two children, Kulture, 6, and Wave, 3, have had their ups and downs over the course of their nearly seven-year relationship. While Cardi recently gave birth to their third child, the timing of Offset’s accusations and Cardi’s biting responses couldn’t have been more public. Their stormy relationship has always been in the spotlight, but this latest outburst shows just how deeply wounded both parties seem to be.
Cardi B: A Heartfelt and Hurt Response
Cardi B, who has built her entire brand around being unfiltered and true to herself, did not hold back in her emotional Instagram Live session. From the outset, it was clear that the “WAP” rapper is hurting—and deeply. While she remains proud of the children she shares with Offset, her words were filled with anger, regret, and resentment. Her claim, “I regret you. I’m too good for you. I’ve always been too good for you,” illustrates the emotional toll this relationship has taken on her.
But beneath the anger, there’s an undeniable undercurrent of heartbreak. Cardi, for all her bravado, seems to be yearning for the love and stability that Offset once provided, despite their tumultuous history. She has been transparent about her struggles to make their marriage work, even when things were clearly falling apart. When Cardi says things like, “Since you wanna f–king threaten me, talking about you wanna take my s–t,” it’s not just about material possessions—it’s about the emotional investment she’s put into this relationship, the shared history, and most importantly, the family they’ve built together.
She continued her emotional tirade, stating, “It’s no fun when Mama’s got the gun, right? Now we’re going to court war, right?” Cardi’s words reflect her frustration with Offset’s actions and her readiness to fight for what she believes is rightfully hers. The idea of a “court war” implies that their once-lovable union has now descended into a battle for control, a battle that may not just be about custody of their children, but also about who walks away with their pride intact.
Offset: Feeding Off the Drama
While Cardi’s pain is palpable, Offset’s response seems to suggest he is thriving off the chaos. Accusing her of cheating while pregnant is not only a bold claim but one that is bound to stir up trouble. Whether it’s true or not, his willingness to air this dirty laundry in front of millions speaks to a larger issue within their relationship.
Fans have long speculated that Offset enjoys the attention he garners from their public spats. He seems unfazed by the hurt Cardi expresses and is even accused of relishing the fact that she continues to embarrass herself in front of the world. Offset, known for his cocky persona, doesn’t appear to care about the damage these accusations might cause—whether to their children, Cardi’s public image, or the relationship itself.
In fact, some might argue that Offset is feeding off this newfound attention. Since his days with Migos, Offset has been no stranger to the limelight, but since the group disbanded, he’s taken a backseat in the music world. While Cardi continues to dominate the charts and headlines, Offset’s solo career has faltered somewhat. Accusations like this keep him relevant and keep the public talking about him—even if it’s in a negative light. Some fans have even speculated that Offset may be enjoying the chaos he’s created, loving the fact that Cardi continues to respond, and therefore keeping his name in the media.
The Public Embarrassment
One thing is for sure: Cardi B, despite her fierce exterior, is showing signs of vulnerability. The rapper has built a career on being larger-than-life, confident, and unapologetically herself. However, this situation has shown a different side to Cardi—a woman who is hurt, embarrassed, and fighting to maintain her dignity.
Her decision to confront Offset publicly, while understandable from an emotional standpoint, has also led to intense public scrutiny. With millions watching and waiting for her every move, Cardi’s outbursts are often taken out of context or blown out of proportion, adding to her already immense pressure. She knows that she’s embarrassing herself, but the love and pain she feels for Offset seem to be clouding her judgment.
One fan commented, “Cardi needs to stop going live about Offset, it’s just making her look bad. He doesn’t care, he’s moved on. She’s still stuck in this toxic cycle.”
Others have expressed sympathy, noting that Cardi’s emotional outbursts are the result of years of trying to make a relationship work that may have been doomed from the start. “It’s hard watching someone like Cardi go through this,” another fan tweeted. “You can tell she loves him, but Offset doesn’t seem to care. It’s like he enjoys watching her unravel.”
The On-Again, Off-Again Rollercoaster
This latest incident is just one chapter in a long and tumultuous history between Cardi and Offset. Their relationship has been a rollercoaster from the start. In December 2023, Cardi announced that she’d been “single for a minute,” but it wasn’t long before the couple was spotted together again. Whether it was ringing in the New Year together or showing up at public events, Cardi and Offset kept the world guessing about their relationship status.
However, Cardi has made it clear that their problems go beyond public appearances. During a livestream earlier this year, she bluntly stated, “The answer to getting back together is not a good night at the club and f–king the night long. We need to work on our s–t. We need to work on our communication. There’s things that he needs to work on, there’s things that I need to work on.”
Despite their best efforts to reconcile, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in August 2024. This announcement came as a shock to many, especially given the fact that she was pregnant with their third child at the time. It seemed like Cardi was finally ready to let go of the relationship, but as this latest drama proves, letting go isn’t always easy.
Cardi’s Yearning for Family
Beneath the drama, the accusations, and the public embarrassment, one thing remains clear: Cardi B yearns for a stable family. Despite all the hurt Offset has caused, she still wants to be with the father of her children. Cardi has always been open about her love for her family, and her decision to keep Offset in the hospital room during the birth of their third child shows that she’s not quite ready to let go of the idea of them being together.
But as much as Cardi may want to keep their family intact, Offset seems to have a different agenda. His accusations of cheating, public outbursts, and indifference toward Cardi’s pain suggest that he’s moved on—or at least wants her to believe he has.
For Cardi, the struggle is real. She’s torn between her love for Offset and the need to protect herself from further hurt. Her emotional outbursts may seem impulsive, but they come from a place of deep pain. Cardi is a woman who has given everything to a man who, in her eyes, doesn’t appreciate her or the sacrifices she’s made for their family.
Offset’s Indifference: A New Beginning or the End?
While Cardi continues to express her feelings publicly, Offset remains relatively silent, only speaking up to drop bombshell accusations like the one about her cheating while pregnant. His indifference has led many to believe that he’s done with the relationship and is now more focused on his own personal gains.
Some fans believe Offset has already moved on, enjoying the attention and fame that come with being involved in such a high-profile relationship. “Offset is just loving this,” one fan tweeted. “He doesn’t care about Cardi’s feelings, he just wants to stay relevant. It’s sad, but it’s the truth.”
Others, however, think that Offset is simply tired of the drama and is using this public spat as a way to distance himself from Cardi once and for all. “Offset is done,” another fan speculated. “He’s over Cardi and the constant fighting. He’s just trying to make her look bad so he can walk away without feeling guilty.”
Will Cardi and Offset Ever Move On?
As the public continues to watch this drama unfold, the question remains: will Cardi B and Offset ever be able to move on from each other? For Cardi, the answer isn’t simple. She’s deeply hurt, but she’s also deeply in love with Offset, the father of her three children. Despite everything, she still yearns for the stability and love that she once believed they could have.
Offset, on the other hand, seems content with letting Cardi embarrass herself publicly, knowing that each outburst only brings more attention to him. Whether he’s truly moved on or simply playing the game, one thing is for sure: this is far from over.
Fans, the media, and even the couple themselves will continue to speculate about what the future holds for Cardi B and Offset. But for now, all eyes are on Cardi as she navigates the painful process of letting go—or holding on to—her relationship with the man she’s given so much to. The question is, how much longer can Cardi endure this public heartbreak? And will Offset ever come to realize what he’s lost? Only time will tell.
