Superstar Cardi B files for divorce from rapper Offset after three years of marriage

American
rapper, songwriter, and actor Cardi B has officially called it quits with
husband, rapper Offset after three years of marriage.

In September
2017, the couple had married secretly. The two had already been through a
well-publicized rough patch that resulted in her announcing their break-up
almost two years ago.

In a
December 2018 video on Instagram, Cardi be said, “We got a lot of love for
each other but things just haven’t been working out between us for a long time.”
The superstar has some 75.5 million followers.

“It’s
just like, I guess we just grew out of love, but we’re not together
anymore.”

But by about
a year later the pair had reconciled and Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis
Marlenis Almanzar, told Vogue at the time that the split was over her husband’s
infidelity.

“We
have come to a clear understanding. For me, monogamy is the only way,” she
said.

Cardi B is
seeking custody of 2-year-old daughter Kulture and child support from Offset, whose
real name is Kiari Cephus.

A hearing is
set for November 4, according to the Fulton County court in Georgia, which is
Offset’s home state.

Despite the
turmoil in her personal life, Cardi B has rocketed to success from her humble
origins in New York’s Bronx.

Her 2017 hit
“Bodak Yellow” brought her fame, and 2020 chart topper
“WAP” brought her controversy.

The song is
an unadulterated celebration of female desire brimming with graphic sexual
metaphors that left American conservatives hot and bothered.
