The “WAP” artist has shared multiple public messages about her personal life, and fans want to know the truth about her relationship status. However, this isn’t the first time that they’ve sparked breakup rumors.
Most recently, a new report from Us Weekly gave some insights into how this rumored split seems different from the other times, despite a reunion on New Year’s Eve. Keep reading to find out whether the spouses are getting a divorce.
Did Cardi B and Offset Break Up?
On December 31, Cardi and Offset were spotted celebrating New Year’s Eve together at a Miami strip club. After the sighting, an insider close to the situation claimed that the two “hooked up” on NYE, but they said that she’s sworn that the relationship is done. “Cardi’s saying she done with Offset even after their New Year’s Eve hookup, but friends aren’t convinced,” the source told Us Weekly. “This is a pattern with them. He’s a serial cheater. She flips out but then runs right back to him.”
Their night out came amid speculation that the estranged spouses had gotten back together after Cardi previously confirmed via Instagram Live that she and Offset had split. “I don’t care to find out because I’ve been single for a minute now. … I’m curious for a new life, a new beginning. I’m excited,” she noted on December 11.
One week prior, Cardi took to her Instagram Stories to write about putting herself “first” instead of “protecting” someone else’s feelings, ultimately fueling rumors that she and Offset were done.
“You know when you just out grow relationships,” she wrote via one slide of the story, according to Page Six. She then continued in another message, “I’m tired of protecting peoples feelings … I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.”
Not only that, but both the “I Like It” hitmaker and the “Need It” rapper unfollowed each other on Instagram, signaling a clear problem in their dynamic. However, neither Cardi nor Offset has confirmed whether they broke up.
Shortly, after they unfollowed each other on Instagram, Cardi went on an Instagram Live and spoke about dropping “dead weight,” per Page Six. “You gotta rid of dead weight and when it comes to dead weight, I’ll say mentality, procrastination, laziness and people,” she said, while appearing to get emotional. “A lot of people are dead weight, too… Next year is gonna be all about me.”
Months prior, the duo hit a major bump in the road of their relationship when Cardi took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to slam her husband for accusing her of cheating on him.
“First of all, let me say, you can’t accuse me of all the things you know that you are guilty of. Sing it with me, y’all!” she sang in a voice memo that she tweeted in June 2023. “And I see that it is easy for you to blame everything on me. Yes, honey!”
In the recording, Cardi implored her followers not to “pay attention to that country man, y’all. Don’t pay attention to that country man. That motherf*****’s spiraling and thinking s**t. Come on, now. I’m Cardi B, n****. I think sometimes motherf**kers forget I’m Cardi B. If I was giving this p**** to anybody, it would be out. I’m not just anybody. … Please, boy: Stop acting stupid. Don’t play with me … stop playin’ … let’s be serious.”
Nevertheless, the spouses mended their relationship over the summer, as the Migos member pointed out, “It’s my wife, I love her to death, and we’re going back and forth. If you got a New York woman … she’s a pit bull,” during his appearance on the “Way Up With Angela Yes” podcast.
In 2020, Cardi made headlines when she filed for divorce from Offset after nearly three years of marriage. According to documents obtained by Hollywood Life at the time, the “Bodak Yellow” artist filed for the dissolution of their marriage and noted in her filing, “there are no prospects for a reconciliation.”
However, they managed to patch up their marriage one month later, as Cardi confirmed that they had reconciled.
