It’s been over a year since Cardi B filed for divorce from her soon-to-be ex-husband, rapper Offset. Unfortunately for the two of them, things still don’t look appear to be copacetic as evidenced by a few new interviews.

Sitting down for a chat with Apple Music on Monday to promote her latest single “Imaginary Playerz” and her upcoming album “AM I THE DRAMA?” Cardi took the time to speak on her ongoing split from Offset. In particular, she mentioned how things between her and the “Bad and Boujee” rapper have turned in a negative direction and shared some of her reflections.
“Going through a divorce is very, very tough. Because you marry somebody and the person that you’re divorcing is not the person you married. You really ask yourself, ‘who the f*ck did I marry?’” she said.
Cardi went on to say that she’s used to being cool with all her exes and that for a while, she didn’t understand other woman who had deep-seated anger with the fathers of their children and talked about how tough divorces were. But now, as she’s going through her divorce with the Migos rapper, she understands how things can go from good to bad.
“It has gotten to the point where it’s like ‘oh my gosh,’ like it’s like ‘I feel like I really hate you.’ Like, ‘I really hate you.’ And I never wanted that,” she added.
She further explained: “We should be able to coparent, have conversation. We should be able to ask each other advice and just become friends — but it’s not like that. It’s actually, I’m going through something that’s actually kind of, very like, ‘wow this is very dark.’ It’s not even painful, it’s kind of like, I feel like you would feel pain when you still got love feelings. I don’t have the love feelings, I went through pain last year.”
Cardi’s comments come just after Offset did a previous interview with the Associated Press recently, where he confirmed that the last song on his forthcoming album “KIARI” — entitled “Move On”— was about their divorce.
“It’s about moving on, like, peacefully. That’s what the message is supposed to be. It’s all love and peace,” he explained. “I just ended the album with that, just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on — it’s over and done with. It was great while it lasted. That shouldn’t be the topic for either one of us no more. It’s a book that’s closed.”
But while he may have said that the song was about peace, the lyrics in “Move On” relay anything but that. Peep them here:
“F*ck the time that we had is erased (Hey) / Walkin’ right past, I don’t know you / You never listen to no rules / You never cook niggas no food / You just want go out to Nobu / Telling me sh*t that you don’t do / Telling me sh*t that you won’t do / You fed around with the wrong dude / Hope your next nigga be great (Hey).”
Umm, wow, okay…first of all, why did he want Cardi to be in the kitchen and cook him food like they both weren’t super booked and busy and as if they didn’t have the money to hire a chef? And what “rules” is he referring to and why are they there in the first place?
Having certain boundaries and expectations in a marriage is one thing, but being upset because your wife didn’t make you meals and do what you say sounds like a kid having a tantrum,. If he wanted someone to take care of him in that way, then he wasn’t looking for a wife, he was looking for someone to be another mother to him.
Let’s also not forget that Cardi was and still is the bigger star in the relationship so him trying to impose all these things on her like she isn’t one of the most influential people in pop culture is egregious.
Naturally, as their words began to hit the social media streets, many online took issue with Offset and empathized with where Cardi was coming from. Some expressed their incredulity of the expectations Offset had and felt he was trying to “humble her” the entire time.
For TikTok user Never Stop Shari, she pointed to one part on Offset’s song where he mentioned that he got his “get back” from Cardi, alluding that she stepped out on their marriage to get back at him for doing so previously–so he did the same.
“You got yo get back so I had to get back, it’s 50 to two,” he said.
“For Offset to admit that he cheated on his wife 50 times and to be asking ‘why ain’t you happy for me, I’m happy for you’ is such a narcissistic mind f*ck. I hope Cardi realizes that the rap girlies have not been your enemy, it has truly been this man who is set on embarrassing you,” she explained on TikTok.
“Every woman should secure a bag before getting emotionally involved with men. Cardi has money, but she married someone wayyy below her, hence the jealousy and constant need to humble her throughout the marriage. Ladies don’t do that to yourselves, Idc how much you love a man,” wrote another user on TikTok.
On Instagram, one user questioned: “Why do these dudes keep complaining about their ex-wives (who are multi-millionaires) not doing domestic work that they pay somebody to do anyway once she’s gone? So stupid. Sir, all of us ‘good women’ who cook and clean would gladly pay a professional to take over the task if we had the bank. You fumbled your wife. Stop it.”
However, there were some who felt the complete opposite and came to Offset’s defense.
“About time a male artist make a song calling a women[sic] out instead of putting her on a pedestal,” wrote one user on Instagram.
“He should’ve let her go the first time she tried to leave. When people show you who they REALLY are, thank them,” said another.
“Cardi been held bro down, he’s free,” one other user said.
