Cardi B Confirms Break Up With Offset: ‘I’ve Been Single For a Minute Now’
According to Cardi B, she’s a single woman. Early Monday morning (Dec. 11), Cardi went on Instagram Live to tell fans that she and Offset are no longer together after rumors of them breaking up last week circulated on social media.
“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 in the clip. “But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live, I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign.”
“I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open,” she added. “I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”
The sign Cardi was referring to was Blueface’s claim in a now-deleted tweet that his ex-girlfriend and mother of his son, Chrisean, was intimate with Offset.
He later went into specifics, claiming that Chrisean hooked up with the Migos rapper at Offset and Cardi’s L.A. home in November.
Chrisean appeared to deny the accusations on X, replying in part that Blueface was “making up s–t.”
Offset also refuted those claims on X with a tweet of his own. “I ain’t never talk or touch that lady,” he said in his rebuttal. “Real Talk man you need some help!”
Billboard reached out to Offset’s reps for comment.
Last week, Cardi B and Offset unfollowed each other on Instagram, fueling speculation of a possible breakup. She also shared cryptic posts about outgrowing relationships. “You know when you just out grow relationships,” read the first, followed by, “I’m tired of protecting peoples feelings…I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!”
In 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, but months later, she called it off. Two years prior, Offset was at the center of a cheating scandal, which led him to deliver a public apology to Cardi.
In an interview with the Call Me Daddy podcast in October, Offset spoke on how the two worked amicably to re-establish trust in their relationship.
“We’re both public figures, we’re both in the eyes of people. Stop being selfish,” he said. “You’re married to this woman, be dedicated to this woman. And also, just like being more communicative about s–t. Like, we just talk more and, because, you know, work was getting in the way, sometimes and it was like, [phew] and we would talk all the time but communication is key. 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.”
