“Cardi B Send Strong warning To Nicki Minaj For Defending Offset – “Stay Away From Him”

Cardi B is currently going through a lot after her ex-husband offset cheated on her again and made public with his new girlfriend.

It appears that Cardi B and Offset have once again decided to go their separate ways.

The musical pairing, who’ve been together since early 2017, secretly tied the knot the same year and welcomed two children — daughter Kulture Kiari, 5, and son Wave Set, 2 — during the course of their five-year marriage.

Still, with as much love and support as they have shown each other, the pair have had their fair share of ups and downs, too.

“I don’t really like talking about love much, but I feel like I have to do it, just because I want people to know a little bit,” Cardi told ELLE in 2020. “There’s always rumors about me and my husband, and I feel like people would rather start rumors because they want me to be heartbroken. They want me to be hurt.”

She continued: “I do know that my relationship has a lot of drama and everything. But there’s a lot of love, there’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of trust, there’s a big friendship. It’s always us against the world.”

Here, everything to know about the stars’ latest split — and their relationship history.
