Cardi B is hoping for “a new beginning” after splitting from her husband Offset, the rapper has revealed.
Cardi B said that she is a single lady. After rumors of their breakup last week surfaced on social media, Cardi announced on Instagram Live early on Monday, December 11, that she and Offset were no longer together.
“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.”
Speculation began when fans discovered that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram in the previous week. “You gotta rid of dead weight, and when it comes to dead weight… I’ll say mentality, procrastination, laziness and people. A lot of people are dead weight, too,” Cardi cryptically hinted in a recent live broadcast, referring to her new relationship status.
Cardi B and Offset began dating in early 2017 and were married in September of the same year.
In late 2018, several months after the birth of their daughter, Cardi announced that the two had decided to part ways. They reconciled in mid-2019, but Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in 2020 before withdrawing the filing weeks later. They have since welcomed a second child.
