Fun fact: As I write this, Girlfriends is streaming in the background, making this entertainment tidbit particularly poignant (and no doubt putting the theme song on a loop in your brain, as itβs now in mine). According to People, Cardi B is getting some timely support from at least one of her girlfriends following the Tuesday announcement of her pending divorce from her husband, Offset. Specifically, Cardi received a big bouquet of flowers from fellow entertainer Lizzo, prompting the βBodak Yellowβ rapper to express her gratitude via Instagram.
βIsnβt Lizzo like the nicest person in the world? Look what she sent me!β she said in a video as she showed off a gorgeous bouquet and note from the βCuz I Love Youβ singer. βShe is just a beautiful-ass person. I just love her so much. These are so pretty!β

No, the note didnβt ask βWhy men great βtil they gotta be great?β nor did Lizzo sign the note, βCuz I love you.β In fact, the note specifically congratulated Cardi βon all [her] success this summer,β no doubt referencing the runaway success of the single and video for βWAPββin which Cardi recently revealed sheβd hoped to feature the βJuiceβ rapper/singer. But no doubt the gesture made Cardi feel βgood as hellβ amid what has seemingly been a protracted and often very public deterioration of her three-year marriageβwhich is not to say that the split is contentious.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Cardi requested her divorce docs be amended, as initial reports indicated she requested legal custody and primary physical custody of the coupleβs 2-year-old daughter Kulture, which may have conveyed more hostility than the raptress initially intended.
Sources connected to Cardi and with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Cardi did not know the lawyer was positioning her case this way. Weβre told she wants Offset to have joint custody of Kulture and is determined to have an amicable, co-parenting situation. Our sources say Cardi is in touch with her lawyer and the document will be amended to reflect her wishes.
Her divorce petition also says she wants child support. Our sources say she does not want any support from Offset ... in the financial department, sheβs the Bank of Cardi.
Neither artist has commented publicly on the pending divorce yet, sticking to promotional posts on their respective social media (and sparing us much of the drama that accompanied their first split in late 2018. In fact, As of yesterday Offset had yet to respond to the divorce filing, simply posting βthe grind donβt stopβ on Instagram. (But, real talk: Isnβt that how we got here in the first place?)
