This morning, Cardi B went live on Instagram to inform her followers that she is now single. The 31-year-old singer confirmed her breakup with rapper Offset, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship for six years. The news comes after speculation about the couple’s split.
Cardi B and Offset met in 2016 during a work event and collaborated on the song ‘Lick’. From then on, they were seen together on various occasions, fueling rumors of a romance. In 2017, they revealed their secret marriage and by February 2018 they were expecting their first daughter. However, the relationship faced rumors of infidelity on the part of the rapper.
The conflicts led to a divorce filing in 2020, but the couple reconciled and in 2021 had their second child. Now, after more than six years, they separate again. Last week, signs of the breakup emerged when both stopped following each other on social media.
Cardi B, in her livestream, shared that she had been single for a while and revealed her fear of going public. She mentioned a “sign” that inspired her, linked to a post by Blueface, who claimed the singer was intimidated by Offset.
Blueface expressed his desire to “start over” in 2024, with Offset having not issued any statements so far. The singer fearlessly shares her excitement for a new life and a new beginning.
Cardi B in Vogue, tradition and originality in Hip-Hop
In late 1998, Lauryn Hill debuted at number one on Billboard with ‘Doo Woop (That Thing)’, the first single from ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’. This hit ushered in a new era for women in hip-hop, highlighting Hill’s authentic presence in a male-dominated genre. Nineteen years later, Cardi B has continued that tradition by debuting at number one with ‘Bodak Yellow’ in 2017, demonstrating a strength that endures.
In an interview for the cover of Vogue Mexico and Latin America, Cardi B shares her desire to follow the tradition of female hip-hop icons and seeks to offer quality and originality. The artist, with Caribbean roots, explores trap and synthesizers in her songs, being a precise reflection of contemporary culture.
Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, grew up in the Bronx, New York, immersed in a mix of Caribbean cultures. The singer highlights the importance of her roots in her attitude and lifestyle, bringing a unique perspective to the world of entertainment.
‘Invasion of Privacy’, their debut album, shows a fusion of references to the history of hip-hop and its Caribbean roots. Cardi B is proud of her heritage, despite initial confusions about her cultural identity. Her music reflects the diversity and complexity of her experience.
Cardi B doesn’t just excel in music; her foray into fashion is equally notable. From renowned designers to participating in fashion shows, the artist has conquered spaces that, according to her, could have been more difficult for her due to her origin and lack of family connections in the industry.
The ‘Jealousy’ singer, in collaboration with her husband Offset, presents herself as a complete person, highlighting her creativity beyond music. He has ventured into acting, television production and creative direction, seeking to express himself in a comprehensive way.
With his next album on the way and a career that goes beyond music, Cardi B continues to prove that she is an influential force in contemporary culturebringing his originality and quality to every project he undertakes.
