Cardi B Files for Divorce from Offset (Again) After 6 Years of Marriage: Report
The “Up” rapper originally filed for divorce in September 2020, but the pair later called it off
Cardi B and Offset are calling it quits — again.
On Wednesday, July 31, Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset, 32, after six years of marriage, a representative for the “Bodak Yellow” rapper confirmed to the New York Post’s Page Six.
The outlet reported that she’s seeking primary custody of their children together, daughter Kulture Kiari, 6, and son Wave Set, 2½. A rep for Cardi did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment on Thursday and the divorce filing was not publicly available at press time.
The news of their divorce comes over seven months after Cardi B, 31, got candid on Instagram Live as she admitted, “I’ve been single for a minute now,” according to a recording of the livestream shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). The Grammy winner told fans she wanted to start the new year “fresh” and “open,” as she admitted, “I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah… I’m excited.”
Since then, she and the Migos star have spent time together on New Year’s Eve, Offset directed her March music video for “Like What (Freestyle),” they caught a Knicks game together in May, and that same month, Rolling Stone published an interview in which Cardi said the pair was “all right now.”
“Because we do love each other,” she said at the time, adding, “It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
In mid-December, Cardi also went live on Instagram, sounding tearful and emotional as she addressed their relationship. “This motherf—er really likes to play games with me at my most vulnerable time. When I’m not the most confident,” Cardi, 31, said to her followers, according to a video captured by The Neighborhood Talk. “He likes to play games with me because he knows that I’m not an easy girl.”
Cardi B and Offset, who share Kulture and Wave, have had an on-and-off again relationship since tying the knot in September 2017. They announced they were splitting in 2018 and, after reconciling, Cardi B filed for divorce in September 2020, which they later called off.
In June 2023, the couple appeared to be struggling. Offset alleged that Cardi B cheated on him in a since-deleted Instagram Story. “My wife f—ed a N—- on me gang yall n—- know how I come,” the post read.
