Why, oh why, did Offset feel the need to tell the world that Cardi B allegedly sent him a photo of another man “getting intimate” with her? Is this really how they decided to start 2025? After weeks of Offset going on about how Cardi supposedly sleeps around, it’s giving “Is there something you want to get off your chest, sir?” Are you trying to say Cardi’s been cheating on you this whole time?
Honestly, a lot of people are starting to think Offset’s obsession with these accusations has more to do with doubt about Cardi’s third child being his. And Cardi? She’s not letting it slide. She’s been clapping back, saying, “It was a privilege for you to even be with a boss like me. All those little side chicks you’re running around with don’t change the fact that you’re a lame. You’ll never measure up. I can’t believe I even let you play with me this long—because you’re not on my level. I made you look good, and now, you’re just embarrassing.”
Meanwhile, Offset doesn’t seem to be struggling in the “moving on” department. He was recently spotted shopping with another woman in Dubai. The drama is thick, and it looks like we’ll be hearing about these two a lot this year.
The mess, though, didn’t just start this week. Cardi and Offset’s breakup last year set the tone for all this chaos. Right before 2024 ended, Cardi went on social media and didn’t hold back. She said she wished the worst for Offset, called him a narcissist, and admitted she’s never hated anyone more. When fans told her to chill because he’s the father of her kids, she doubled down, saying she didn’t care and even threw in that she wouldn’t mind if he got run over by a truck (but, you know, not to death—just injured).
At this point, it’s messy, it’s public, and it doesn’t seem like either of them plans to stop anytime soon.
A few days later, Offset unexpectedly joined Cardi B’s Instagram Live and accused her of cheating on him while she was pregnant with their third child. Fans were shocked when Cardi clapped back on X (formerly Twitter) with a simple yet loaded response: “And did.” Many took this as an admission, which only added to the drama. To stir the pot even more, Offset posted a photo of rapper Future, seemingly suggesting that Cardi’s behavior reminded him of Future’s notorious reputation.
Cardi wasn’t about to let that slide. She fired back, saying, “I’m too much woman for you, too much of a boss for you, and I’ve always been too good for you. I don’t make you feel like you’re the man in this house—I make you look good.” She also took a moment to acknowledge her gratitude for their three kids together and praised Offset as a father, but she didn’t hold back on her feelings about their relationship.
“Thank you for my kids—all three of them. I don’t regret them, not one bit. But you? I regret you. I’ve always been too good for you, and you know it,” she said during her live.
Cardi went on to accuse Offset of trying to manipulate her with gifts and threats, all while she was focused on moving on. She even mocked him for sleeping around to cope with losing her. And let me tell you—she did not hold back.
Later, Cardi shared snippets of their text conversations, showing Offset’s attempts to reconcile and win her back. But just as things seemed to reach their peak, Cardi offered a surprising update during an X Spaces chat, just before the holidays.
“We’ve been peaceful for over a week,” she shared. “No drama, no arguments, just co-parenting in a healthy way. For the past three months, it’s been crazy—fights, drama, chaos—but this week, it’s been eight days of calm. It feels like we’re finally starting to move on in a healthier way.”
It was a glimpse of hope in a messy situation, showing that even amid all the drama, they might be able to find a way to coexist for the sake of their kids.
She had also been at Offset’s birthday party in Miami that same day, where she shared that they were both really happy recently. Well, let’s just say she spoke too soon because just days later, things took a sharp turn. Offset accused Cardi B of sleeping around and lying to her fans in a now-deleted tweet:
“Nobody won the fan fight. Stop capping to these people to make yourself look like the hoe you are. A Fire Woman, good music, but you focus on D and trying to make me look bad. Focus, bro, this is whack from us both honestly. Drop the album and go up.”
Cardi didn’t hold back and fired back:
“So just because I’m single means I’m only worried about D? You sound ridiculous, trying to play nice after you did exactly what you wanted from the start. Trying to push an NA on these people. Congratulations. Sign the papers today.”
The back-and-forth continued when Offset demanded joint custody of their three kids and slammed Cardi, calling her “single and miserable.” Cardi responded with:
“You thought guys wouldn’t be into me because, in your words, I’ve got three kids in my 30s and I’m miserable? I don’t bother anyone, but every guy I talk to, you’re DMing and talking about me? Let’s not, honey.”
And their drama didn’t stop there. Just before the new year, Offset seemed to accuse Cardi of sending him a picture of herself with another man, claiming this mystery guy wasn’t the only one Cardi had recently been with.
Things got even messier when a video surfaced showing Cardi B and Quavo sharing shots at a New Year’s Eve event at a nightclub. Though it seemed innocent enough, the internet exploded with rumors that Cardi was getting back at Offset by involving Quavo.
As for Offset, he appeared to be keeping himself busy in Dubai, where he was seen with model Melanie Jada during a performance at Blu Oasis nightclub on New Year’s Eve. Videos of the two circulated, showing Offset kissing her on the side of the stage. They were later spotted shopping together at a Chanel store, reportedly spending $100,000 on luxury goods. Melanie was dressed in a striped, skintight midi dress while Offset wore a zip-up hoodie and black pants. They seemed to be together all night, and sources revealed they had been dating for a few weeks. While not serious, sources said Offset enjoyed her vibe, style, and company.
Cardi wasted no time mocking Offset once again, calling him out for still hooking up with random women to boost his ego. Infidelity had been a major issue in their relationship, and even before the divorce news broke, Offset was caught up in yet another cheating scandal with his ex, Pretty Red. The two were spotted together at a casino, but as always, Offset denied the rumors.
Though both tried to downplay infidelity as the cause of their divorce, a source close to them shared, “It’s not something that happened overnight. They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t any pushback. They’ve just grown apart, and that feeling’s only gotten stronger over time. It became unavoidable. She has no ill will toward him. She wishes him the best. She’s not stepping into this next chapter of her life with any beef or drama. She just wants peace.”
A representative for Cardi B has clarified that her divorce from Offset isn’t because of cheating rumors, but rather the result of their growing distance over time. Sources have said that the couple had become disconnected, with one telling People Magazine, “As a mom, she expects a partner who fully supports and puts the family first. That wasn’t happening. He didn’t support her as a husband should, and she wants only positive energy in her life.”
Still, infidelity seems to be a significant issue. Offset has been vocal about Cardi’s alleged cheating, even suggesting their third child might not be his. This has led to speculation about what’s really going on between them.
Despite the ongoing drama, Cardi says she’s putting her dating life on hold for now to focus on her big plans for January. She said, “I don’t even want to date right now because every time I do, I get distracted. I don’t want any distractions.” Apparently, January is critical for Cardi, and if she doesn’t get things done this month, it could throw off her whole year.
The drama with Offset has definitely gotten people talking online, with some accusing them of “clout-chasing.” Some think the whole situation is just a way for Cardi to stay in the public eye, especially since she’s gearing up for her second album release. It’s been over six years since her debut album Invasion of Privacy, so fans are eagerly waiting for new music. Cardi initially planned for a 2024 release but has now confirmed the album will drop in 2025.
So, what’s your take—do you think all of this drama is just a way to keep Cardi relevant, or is there more to the story?
