Good for Cardi. Leave these nggas where they had you fucked up at. Ain’t no trophies for letting a slut ass ngga keep playing in your face & more need to see that. Life goes on. Gotta set an example for her daughter that “love” without respect doesn’t mean shit. She’ll be fine.

I really hope that Cardi follows through with this divorce with offset. I hate to see men bring a woman down.

Cardi B first hinted at their separation in December 2023. Although they have been seen together since then, she addressed rumors of reconciliation on Twitter. In an Instagram Live session earlier this year, she criticized Offset, accusing him of manipulation and mistreatment.
Their relationship, which went public in 2017, has had its share of ups and downs. Cardi previously filed for divorce in September 2020 but withdrew the petition two months later, stating that she made the decision to leave without waiting for another controversy.
This latest development marks a new chapter for Cardi B as she moves forward.
