In a surprising turn of events, Offset is now officially requesting that his estranged wife, the renowned rapper Cardi B, provide him with spousal support following the finalization of their divorce, as revealed by recent court documents pertaining to their ongoing divorce proceedings.
The rapper, known for his affiliation with the group Migos, submitted an updated response to Cardi’s divorce petition earlier this month in the Bergen County Superior Court of New Jersey. This groundbreaking development was first reported by TMZ. In this amended filing, Offset has included a request for an undisclosed amount of alimony, while other aspects of his response remain unchanged, indicating ongoing complexities in their legal battle.
At this time, representatives for both Offset and Cardi have not provided any immediate comments regarding this evolving situation, leaving fans and media outlets eagerly awaiting further updates on the high-profile case.
After six years of marriage, Cardi B took the significant step of filing for divorce from Offset in August. She is seeking primary custody of their three children: their 5-year-old daughter Kulture, their 2-year-old son Wave, and a baby who was still unborn at the time of the filing. According to a representative for Cardi, this divorce was not triggered by any single incident but has been a long time coming, emphasizing that the decision was amicable.
However, the reality of their relationship has proven to be more tumultuous than amicable. In a heated exchange on social media back in December, Offset made disparaging remarks about Cardi, suggesting she “looked like the hoe” and claimed she was “focused on d—.” Cardi promptly retaliated, stating, “So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d—?? You sound like a dummy,” and later insisted, “F— off and sign the papers TODAY,” showcasing the friction that remains between them.
In February, Offset made his move by filing a response to the divorce case, requesting joint custody of their children and stipulating that Cardi’s home should serve as the primary residence for the kids. This indicates Offset’s desire to maintain a significant role in their children’s lives despite the ongoing legal disputes.
This current legal battle marks the second occasion Cardi has sought a divorce from Offset. The celebrated artist previously filed in a Georgia court to dissolve their marriage in September 2020. At that time, she clarified that the decision was not due to cheating allegations, although rumors regarding infidelity had plagued their relationship for years, creating a cloud of doubt and tension.
Within a month of the initial filing in 2020, Cardi announced that she and Offset had reconciled, leading her to withdraw the divorce case. During an Instagram Live session, she expressed the challenges of not communicating with one’s best friend, humorously adding, “And it’s really hard to have no d—,” which highlighted the complexities of their relationship dynamics.
Over the following four years, their relationship endured several trials, including persistent cheating rumors and various social media disputes, ultimately leading to Cardi confirming their split once again. In December 2023, she candidly remarked, “I’ve been single for a minute now,” before officially filing for divorce on August 1, marking a significant turning point in their tumultuous journey.
