It seems like Offset is getting pretty frustrated with all the positive attention Cardi B has been getting since their divorce announcement. He’s even hinted at trying to sabotage her success. Cardi recently shared that she and Offset are getting a divorce, and then, just hours later, she announced she’s pregnant with their third child. This caused quite a stir, with many people blaming Offset for the split due to ongoing rumors of cheating.
Now, Offset is claiming that Cardi planned the whole thing to gain publicity and that she’s using their personal drama to promote her new album. So, is Cardi really using Offset to boost her career, and did she clean him out financially?
If you’ve been following Cardi and Offset’s ups and downs, you might have already guessed she was pregnant—fans had been speculating for months. However, she waited until the day of the divorce announcement to share the news. Offset now says this was all part of Cardi’s strategy.
An insider has revealed that their separation wasn’t a sudden decision. They had been drifting apart for a while, and Cardi decided it was time to move on. She’s mainly focused on getting custody of their two kids and has no hard feelings towards Offset. She’s hoping for a smooth and drama-free transition into this new phase of her life.
A few hours later, Cardi B dropped some seriously steamy photos on Instagram, confirming she’s pregnant. Cardi knows how to make a pregnancy announcement with style. But now Offset is saying that Cardi’s just using their marriage for attention, and that this isn’t the first time she’s done it. He claims that Cardi doesn’t mind putting their relationship on blast if it helps her career.
It’s not that surprising, considering their history. Back in 2020, Cardi claimed things had gotten so bad that she filed for divorce. She said their marriage was beyond repair and asked for primary custody of their daughter, Culture, plus child support from Offset. This was before they had their second child, Wave. Given that it was the second time Cardi filed for divorce, it seemed like she was finally done with Offset for good.
But then, Cardi didn’t really act like she was serious about it. Just a few weeks after filing, she was seen hanging out with Offset again. They didn’t look like just friends—they were pretty cozy. It started to look like the divorce might have been a publicity stunt, especially since they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
They later staged a reconciliation when Offset gifted Cardi a Rolls-Royce for her birthday. A few days later, Cardi officially dismissed the divorce. Shortly after that, she dropped her hit song with Megan Thee Stallion, “[ __ ],” which went straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. So it seems the PR stunt worked. Now, with Cardi gearing up for her second solo album, she’s making headlines again with a new divorce filing and pregnancy announcement. Seems like Cardi and the divorce courts are always in the spotlight.
You might be wondering why she’s going all out right now. The reason is simple: her upcoming album is a make-or-break moment for her career. For someone of her stature, it’s surprising that she’s only released one album so far. She’s been riding the success of “Invasion of Privacy” for about seven years now, and there’s been talk that her new album might flop because she hasn’t been able to repeat that success. She should’ve dropped the new album while “Invasion of Privacy” was still hot, but now it feels like the momentum has cooled off.
And it’s not just fans who are worried. There are rumors that her label is considering dropping her because they’re not seeing the returns they hoped for. With just one album in seven years and no tours—thanks to her pregnancy with Culture shortly after “Invasion of Privacy”—Atlantic Records hasn’t made much of a profit. Touring is a big part of how labels recoup their investment, and Cardi’s absence from the stage has been a concern.
According to recent gossip, a secret meeting took place this week about the album’s future. The label’s execs are worried that Cardi’s fans might not be motivated enough to keep the album on the charts. Since her debut, we’ve seen a Trump presidency, an election, a Biden presidency, another election, and a global pandemic. The people who signed her are feeling the heat, and it’s clear why Cardi seemed so on edge recently.
But despite all the skepticism, there’s still a chance she could prove everyone wrong. A big publicity stunt is set for the first week of August, and even with all the doubts, Cardi’s star power could turn things around and lead to a massive success. If she can deliver, she might just shut down the critics and sell out in a big way.
Cardi Gang is still going strong, and they might just rally behind Cardi despite her recent low-key presence. You remember those rumors about Cardi staging a publicity stunt for the first week of August, right? Well, the week rolled around, and we got hit with a divorce and pregnancy announcement. Offset claims that Cardi kept her pregnancy a secret to make a big splash and build hype for her upcoming album. Unfortunately, this left Offset in the hot seat, with many assuming the divorce was because of his cheating.
Before the divorce news dropped, there were reports that Offset had gotten his side piece pregnant. Cardi didn’t seem too bothered by it and has been open about her struggles and achievements. She’s working hard in the industry, needing to deliver top-notch verses and hit the charts while keeping her personal life in check to fend off critics. Now, with the divorce filing, Offset thinks Cardi is punishing him for his past infidelities, even though they’ve talked things over.
Offset’s concerns might not be without merit, especially since Cardi left him in a tight spot financially. Just months before their split, Offset was hit with a $1.6 million tax lien and another lien of $32,963. Despite his rap persona flaunting wealth, he’s clearly struggling with debt, and Cardi’s name doesn’t appear on those documents. It seems Cardi was the one with the financial edge in their relationship, which might explain why Offset is accusing her of using the divorce for publicity and to boost her album sales.
Fans are buzzing about this drama, pointing out that Cardi doesn’t have a sophomore album, is pregnant with her third child, and going through a divorce while her singles are dropping off the charts. They’re saying her relevance is waning and questioning her dedication as a rapper. The blind items about Cardi’s pregnancy and divorce as a promotional stunt seem to have been on point, with her filing for divorce more often than releasing new music. This whole situation is starting to feel like a predictable pattern.
So, what do you think? Is Cardi using the divorce for clout, or is there something more going on? Drop your thoughts in the comments
