From Bling to Bust-Ups, a Love Story in the Spotlight
No low-key romance has ever existed between Cardi B (Belcalis Almanzar) and Offset (Kiari Cephus). Since Cardi first became well-known on reality TV, their relationship has resembled a reality show itself. Their whirlwind began in 2017 with a flashy first date during the Super Bowl. By September, the couple eloped in a secret wedding, only revealing it later via Cardi’s Twitter.
Offset made a public proposal in October 2017, despite already being married. The couple’s life was a public-private mix of explosive career moves and family growth. Cardi’s 2018 pregnancy and rising fame was highlighted with a Rolling Stone cover showcasing her and Offset celebrating their future together.
Love, Scandals, and Social Media
In December 2018, Cardi B stunned fans by announcing their breakup amidst cheating rumors. Offset’s public apology at her Rolling Loud festival set failed, but the couple reconciled by January 2019. In the years that followed, they navigated turbulent times with on-and-off breakups, reconciliations, and eventually welcoming their second child, Wave, in 2021.
Still, drama persisted. In 2023, Offset accused Cardi of cheating—a claim he later admitted was false. The couple’s dynamic became creative material, such as the music video for their song “Jealousy,” parodying their disputes. By late 2023, however, they unfollowed each other on Instagram, signaling a deeper rift.
Cardi B and Offset Divorce: It’s Official: Second Divorce Filing
On July 31, 2024, Cardi filed for divorce again, this time seemingly with finality. She requested primary custody of their two children and asked for no child support, indicating a desire to cut ties cleanly. Just a day after, she posted on Instagram revealing a new pregnancy, stating: “With every ending comes a new beginning.”
By September 7, 2024, Cardi and Offset welcomed their third child, Blossom. But any hopes of reconciliation faded when Offset accused Cardi of cheating during pregnancy, prompting Cardi to respond with a blunt “AND DID!!” in a tweet, followed by a profanity-laced Instagram Live. The drama only intensified.
Net Worth, Business Ventures and Assets: The Money in the Bank
Cardi B’s estimated net worth in 2025 is $80 million. From Grammy wins to multimillion-dollar endorsements (Pepsi, Fashion Nova, Reebok), and businesses like Whipshots (alcoholic whipped cream), Cardi has built a media and lifestyle empire. She owns property in Atlanta, New York, New Jersey, and even the Dominican Republic.
Offset, though not broke, is comparatively less wealthy with a net worth of around $32 million. As a former member of Migos, he enjoyed massive commercial success, and also made investments in gaming (FaZe Clan) and fashion. But recent tax issues, including over $1.5 million owed to the IRS, cast shadows over his financial health.
Cardi B and Offset Divorce: Divorce Dollars and Drama: Saving Their Image and Wealth
With no prenuptial agreement reported, Offset could have claims on Cardi’s earnings between 2017 and 2024. Cardi reportedly wants a quick exit and is open to giving up certain assets to avoid ongoing spousal support. Offset has filed for spousal support and may be using it as leverage for a better settlement.
Real estate like their Atlanta mansion may be sold or divided, and custody negotiations are ongoing. Cardi wants primary physical custody, while Offset has suggested joint custody but did not request full-time parenting. Cardi clarified she isn’t seeking child support, further suggesting she aims for independence.
Rumors, Rebounds and Romance Speculation: New Chapters for Cardi and Offset
In early 2025, Cardi began publicly dating NFL player Stefon Diggs. After sightings together and viral videos, she hard-launched the relationship on Instagram. Offset reacted with a mix of passive-aggressive tweets and memes, signaling jealousy but no direct attacks. Cardi appeared unfazed and confirmed her happiness with Diggs on Twitter Spaces.
Offset, meanwhile, has been linked to Atlanta-based model Melanie Jayda, seen with him in Dubai and Los Angeles. There’s no confirmed relationship, and Offset appears to be keeping things more low-key. However, rumors still link him to past flings, including influencer Ari Fletcher, creating further online friction between him and Cardi.
Public Relations & Co-Parenting for the Future
Cardi’s brand relies on authenticity, but her “die slow” rants and graphic outbursts risk damaging sponsorships. Brands like Reebok and Pepsi tend to avoid scandal. Cardi’s team is likely guiding her to focus more on music and entrepreneurship to avoid further fallout. Offset has tried to appear more humble, sharing more content about his children and music.
Custody of Kulture, Wave, and Blossom remains critical. Cardi’s request for primary custody and lack of child support suggests she wants clean legal and financial independence. Offset agrees the children should live with Cardi but seeks liberal visitation. A formal co-parenting plan and non-disparagement agreement would help them avoid further public conflict.
Conclusion: Endings and New Beginnings
The Cardi B and Offset story has been one of highs, heartbreaks, and public spectacle. What began as hip-hop royalty now ends in legal disputes and new partners. Cardi is thriving in love and business. Offset is seeking stability and a rebrand. Though they may no longer be a couple, they both remain powerful individuals navigating life under the spotlight.
Their split reminds everyone—even celebrities—that love, money, and fame can create explosive combinations. If they manage to move forward with dignity and co-parenting cooperation, this dramatic saga may turn into a story of growth, resilience, and reinvention.
