Cardi B Break Social Media Silence To Exposed How Offset Caused Her Baby’s Low Birth Weight As Singer Confirmed Divorce Kept Her From Going to Jail
Cardi B has claimed Offset caused their baby’s low birth weight.
The rapper shared details of her turbulent marriage with estranged husband Offset in a candid social-media post.
In the X Spaces post, Cardi, 32, alleged her six-year marriage to 33-year-old Offset – whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus – had led her to seek therapy for “frequent headaches” and feeling as though she was “literally losing my mind”.
Offset’s repeated infidelities and the lack of trust and security in their relationship had eaten away at her well-being so badly she was on the verge of committing violence, she said.
“I gave chances after chances after chances after chances,” Cardi shared on Tuesday.
“I was going to end up going to jail because I was going to end up killing him. Seriously, with my own bare hands because it was getting too much.”
She claimed their daughter Blossom, eight months, was born underweight as a result of the stress Cardi had experienced during her pregnancy. The average birth weight for a girl in the US is 7.5 lbs.
“My baby came out 5lbs because I couldn’t eat because I was so depressed because of the lies and the constant drama,” the WAP rapper wept.
“This is more than the cheating. It’s just like the constant lies, the gaslighting – it was really messing up with my head.”
Cardi B and Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) had legally separated in November 2023, but the on/off nature of their romance resulted in the birth of their eight-month-old baby daughter Blossom.
The three-time Grammy nominee previously accused Cardi B of cheating on him ‘with a baby inside’ but on Tuesday she doubled down: ‘I was married for seven years. I was faithful for seven years. Before that, I was engaged for three years.’
Cardi B counted all of her blessings – talent, health, wealth, cars, property, and cute children – and noted that Offset was her only liability.
‘We did help each other with our jobs. But it’s like you’re helping me, but you’re destroying me at the same time,’ the Kamala Harris campaigner explained.
‘You gotta go. You become a liability to my work, you gotta go.’
MailOnline has reached out to her reps for comment.
Cardi B and Offset’s divorce battle got even uglier when he filed for spousal support last week – according to TMZ.
The Migos alum has also requested joint legal custody of their six-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, three-year-old son Wave Set Cephus, and eight-month-old baby daughter Blossom.
The Enough Miami rapper previously separated from Offset from December 5, 2018 to January 31, 2019 amid cheating allegations.
The on/off hip-hop couple’s first date was the 2017 Super Bowl.
On Tuesday, Offset appeared to have deleted his Instagram and X accounts the day after Cardi B went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
The Love & Hip Hop: New York alum will be honored with the Voice of the Culture Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers during an invite-only ceremony next Sunday in Los Angeles, CA.
Cardi B previously received ASCAP’s Rhythm & Soul Songwriter of the Year Award two years in a row, eight ASCAP Pop Music Awards, and 23 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards.
The former stripper is next scheduled to perform June 27 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, NY alongside Hercules & Love Affair, COBRAH, Sofia Kourtesis, Danny Tenaglia, and Alex Chapman.
Cardi B – who gets 28.4M monthly listeners on Spotify – has vowed to release the long-delayed sophomore follow-up to her 2018 debut studio album Invasion of Privacy this year.
