The tumultuous relationship between hip-hop power couple Cardi B and Offset has reached its legal conclusion, with a judge formally dissolving their marriage. Newly filed documents reveal the specifics of a substantial settlement favouring the 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker.
A Lucrative Outcome for Cardi B
According to the settlement obtained by The Independent, Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has emerged from the divorce with significant financial and property assets. The agreement stipulates that the 31-year-old artist will retain ownership of multiple high-value properties acquired during the marriage.
Furthermore, the 'WAP' rapper has been awarded a considerable sum of money from the couple's joint accounts. In a move that underscores the finality of the split, the settlement includes a comprehensive waiver of spousal support for both parties, meaning neither Offset nor Cardi B will have future financial claims against the other.
Navigating Tax Liabilities and Future Earnings
The legal documents also detail the handling of the couple's complex tax affairs. Cardi B will be solely responsible for the taxes on her own substantial earnings moving forward. This clean break extends to future income, with each party retaining 100% of their own post-divorce royalties, music catalogues, and business ventures.
This is particularly significant given Cardi B's status as one of the music industry's highest-earning female artists. The pair, who share two young children, have agreed to a joint custody arrangement, prioritising the well-being of their family amidst the separation.
A Rollercoaster Relationship Comes to an End
The divorce filing marks the end of a famously volatile relationship that captivated fans and media alike. Cardi B initially filed for divorce from the Migos rapper in 2020, but the couple reconciled shortly after. However, Cardi B confirmed their final separation in late 2023, stating on social media that they had 'grown out of love.'
With the legal proceedings now complete, both artists can focus on their individual careers and co-parenting responsibilities, closing a highly publicised chapter in their lives.
