What’s up you guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News and many fans are still
shocked that Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset!
We are here to break down how this sad news came to be real-life!
Alright, so just a quick recap, yesterday Cardi B officially filed for divorce from
Offset.
The two were married on September 20th, 2017!
They almost made it to three years of marriage!
Hollywood Unlocked and TMZ were among the first outlets to report the news.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Cardi is seeking joint custody of their 2-year-old
daughter, Kulture.
She is determined to have an amicable, co-parenting situation.
Cardi also makes clear in her docs that they're currently separated, and "there are no prospects
for a reconciliation."
Now this isn’t the first time Cardi and Offset sparked separation rumors!
Just one month after tying the knot to Offset, Cardi B posted a selfie onto her Instagram
with a caption that read “Single.”
She quickly backtracked her statement and said, “So listen babes, I exaggerated a
lil bit earlier cause I was really upset and the Bronx girl in me always have to go to
the extreme.
I came to my senses now.
I’m sorry… waffle house on me?”
Just days after she posted her “Single” picture, Offset crashed her set at Power 99's
Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia and got down on one knee to propose to Cardi!
The love and commitment lasted all of three months and in January of 2018, the Offset
cheating rumors started flying!
Rumors flew that he’d not only cheated on her, but made a sex tape with someone else.
Cardi seemingly confirmed the rumors were true and in since deleted tweets she wrote,
"I'm going to make a decision in my own times with my heart and mind," she wrote on Twitter,
according to multiple outlets.
"I don't need to be rushed or be told what to do.
Its my life!
I belong to me not to the world."
A month later it’s revealed Cardi is pregnant with her first child, Offset’s 4th, and
she explained why she stayed with him, telling our sister publication Cosmopolitan magazine
quote, “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.
I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented.
I know I could get any man I want—any basketball player, football player.”
All is well, Kulture is born and the two seem to be living their fairytale lifestyle…
until… you guessed it...
ANOTHER CHEATING scandal!
This time, Cardi reportedly had an attack put out on two girls at a strip club.
One woman claims the attack happened on August 15th and the other claims another happened
on August 29th.
According to reports “The women say that the attacks were ordered because Cardi thought
Offset had cheated with one of the women.”
Cardi did later admit to W Magazine that the cheating rumors do get to her.
She told the magazine quote, “Every single day there’s rumors about me and my dude.
And it almost drives me crazy, because I start to believe them.
I don’t have no proof.
I don’t have receipts.
But I just got to know my man.
We practically on the phone 24 hours a day.
If I can’t find him, I’m going to find his friend.
Somebody going to answer the phone.
But I cannot be feeling insecure, to a point that I would drive my dude away, because these
people want that to happen.”
According to TMZ, in December 2018 Offset was linked to rapper Cuban Doll when his alleged
text messages leaked.
The messages were to a woman named Summer Bunni, and mentioned a possible threesome
with Cuban Doll.
Those messages put Cardi over the edge ... and she pulled the plug.
Cardi and Offset separate publicly for the first time with Cardi taking to social media
to explain the reason!
“I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now and we
are really good friends and really good business partners and he is someone that I always run
to, talk to and we got a lot of love for each other, but things have just not been working
out between us for a long time it’s nobody's fault, I guess we just grew out of love.
But we are not together anymore, it might take a long time to get a divorce but I’ll
always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father.”
Okay, so that right there should’ve been our first clue to keep a divorce on our radars,
and offset even tweeted he missed Cardi!
But things seemed to go back to lovey dovey normal between the two with them constantly
appearing in each other’s Instagram stories and social media posts!
Offset issued an apology video on Instagram and even crashed her set at the Rolling Loud
Music Festival with a flower bouquet that read “Take Me Back Cardi.”
The two spent December and January of that year together, Offset showered cardi with
expensive gifts and vowed to change his ways in the new year… in comes 2019!
This year was rather quiet and happy for the two!
Cardi gave a candid interview to Vogue about her reason for staying with Offset.
In a nutshell she said, “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.
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 ass if you cheat on me."
But now we are in 2020 and that is when the hints of a divorce started coming out.
In August Cardi admitted that her relationship did have drama and that details about her
relationship with Offset would be included on her new album!
She told Elle quote,"If you all are so curious to know about my relationship and blah, blah,
blah, I’m going to put it in the fuckin’ music, and you can buy it, too.”
In this same interview Cardi referenced Beyonce’s 2016 “Lemonade” album.
She revealed to Elle quote, “My music is always going to make a woman feel like a bad
b*tch.
When you make a woman feel like she’s the baddest b*tch in the room, to me, that’s
female empowerment,” she said.
“But this album is going to be really different.
Of course, it’s going to have my Lemonade moments, my personal relationship moments.”
Upon hearing about the divorce, a Cardi fan took to twitter revealing what we all should
have seen coming!
They wrote, “So y’all remember when Cardi B said in her interview a couple of weeks
ago that her album is definitely going to have “lemonade moments” I guess this is
what she was gearing up for the divorce, the cheating, the betrayal.
She’s been hinting it to us all along.”
To add more proof to the pudding, days before Cardi filed for divorce she posted a cryptic
message on her Instagram stories which read, “Her heart finally told her to stop wasting
her time.”
Fans on Twitter had mixed emotions to say the least!
This person tweeted, “Cardi B’s music after the divorce about to be fire!”
One fan cited Cardi’s “WAP” lyrics tweeting, “The nerve of Cardi B to rap I don't cook
I don't clean but let me tell you I got this ring and then file for divorce.”
with a bunch of crying emojis after
And this very upset fan tweeted, That’s true or not?
Please don’t do this @iamcardib and @OffsetYRN noo divorce please you are my only inspiration”
As it stands now this is the end of Cardi B and Offset’s relationship!
