Cardi B has publicly addressed the delay in finalising her divorce from rapper Offset, alleging that he is holding up proceedings by demanding she hand over one of her properties and pay his taxes. The 32-year-old rapper, who is expecting her first child with NFL star Stefon Diggs, spoke about the situation on X Spaces on Monday, as reported by a fan on Instagram.
“The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties. I’m not, I’m fighting for that,” Cardi B claimed. She emphasised that she has been legally separated from Offset for over a year, despite having filed for divorce in July 2024. The couple share three children: Kulture, seven, Wave, four, and Blossom, born after the divorce filing.
Cardi B stated that the delays will not hinder her happiness or that of her children, noting that their lives “have not changed” since the split. She also addressed criticism about her relationship status, saying, “Y’all want me to remarry and stuff to have another baby… I’m doing things how what makes me happy.”
In a recent interview with CBS Mornings, Cardi B expressed weariness over being associated with Offset but said she wishes him well for the sake of their children. “I don’t really have hate in my heart anymore,” she said. “I think he has some type of hate in his heart right now… If we all move on, there shouldn’t be no animosity.”
The Independent has contacted representatives for Offset for comment. Cardi B and Offset married in 2017 and had a previous divorce filing in 2020, which was called off. The rapper confirmed her pregnancy with Diggs earlier this month, saying she feels “very strong [and] very powerful.”
