The already tumultuous waters between Cardi B and Offset have churned into a full-blown storm as they navigate their second divorce. In a series of fiery Instagram Live sessions on Wednesday evening, Cardi unleashed a barrage of accusations against her estranged husband, accusing him of incessantly bombarding her phone in a bid to stir jealousy over his supposed move on from her, as captured by screen recordings that quickly spread across social media, including the hip-hop bible XXL.
The "WAP" queen, addressing Offset albeit indirectly, expressed her disdain for his antics, declaring, "I'm too much woman for you... And I've always been too good for you." Her words dripped with a mix of resignation and contempt. "Nothing surprises me anymore. You've done it all, so I don't care," she added, her tone betraying a weariness rooted in the depths of their tumultuous past.
Yet, amidst the acrimony, Cardi expressed an unwavering love for their children, saying, "Thank you for my kids, though. All three of them, I don't regret none of them. But I regret you. I don't regret my kids; you're a good daddy. You're all right." Her words painted a poignant picture of a mother fiercely protective of her offspring, even as she grappled with the complexities of her failed relationship.
Touching on a delicate balance, Cardi revealed, "I don't want you dead because... my kids love you deeply," a sentiment that underscored her maternal instincts and adherence to the unwritten codes of the street. "So I would never do that. And I really follow street codes," she affirmed, her words resonating with a quiet strength.
The pair, who tied the knot in 2017 and are proud parents to Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and a newborn, have had their fair share of public ups and downs. Cardi's pregnancy and subsequent divorce announcement, made simultaneously over a month ago, only added fuel to the fire. This isn't their first rodeo either, as she had previously filed for divorce in 2020.
In a twist of events, Offset, via a comment during one of Cardi's Lives, allegedly accused her of infidelity during her pregnancy, according to E! News and screenshots circulating on social media. USA TODAY has sought comment from Offset's representative.
Cardi, visibly agitated, confessed that she didn't want to air their dirty laundry on social media, fearing it might deter potential suitors, but felt compelled to do so due to Offset's "messy" and "petty" behavior, fueled by a wounded heart. "Let's go lick for lick. Let's go round for round. Let's go hit for hit," she declared, her words dripping with determination. "I told you: Leave me... alone."
Furthermore, she alleged that Offset had threatened to take away what she had "worked her ass off for," seemingly referring to their divorce proceedings and his resentment over her moving on. "Now we're going to court war, right?" she asked, her tone betraying a readiness to face whatever lay ahead.
Earlier this month, there were whispers of a reconciliation as the duo shared sweet moments celebrating their son Wave's birthday, but it seems those fleeting moments of harmony have given way to a new chapter of acrimony.
