It’s no secret that Cardi B and Offset‘s relationship has been fraught for a long time, with the latter allegedly cheating on the former multiple times throughout their marriage. And now that they’re separated, the “WAP” rapper is opening up about the effects the Migos star’s rumored infidelity had on her while they were together.
In clips from an X Spaces shared by TMZ Tuesday (June 3), Cardi said that she’s the happiest she’s been “in a very, very long time” while reflecting on a time not so long ago that left her feeling the opposite. “Last year, I really felt like I was going crazy,” she said, referring to the final months of her relationship with Offset — during which she was pregnant with their third baby — before she filed for divorce in late July.
“It’s more than the cheating,” the Bronx native claimed. “It’s the constant lies, the gaslighting — it was really messing up my with my head … I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. My baby came out five pounds. A healthy baby. My baby came out five pounds, because I couldn’t eat, I was so depressed.”
Cardi went on to reveal that her management and label team eventually saw the toll it was taking on her and decided to find her a therapist. “I did therapy, and I tried, and I fell back in love again,” she added, most likely referencing her rumored new boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
The rapper welcomed her third child with ‘Set — a daughter named Blossom — in September, just a little more than a month after she filed to legally separate from her now-estranged husband for the second time. The former couple is currently in the midst of contentious divorce proceedings, with Cardi recently slamming the “Stir Fry” rapper for seeking spousal support.
“You such a f–king p—y a– n—a,” said Cardi, who also shares daughter Kulture and son Wave with Offset, during a May X Spaces. “Word to my mother, I want you to die, but I want you to die f–king slow. When you die, I want you to die slow in the bed. And when you die, n—a, you gotta think of me.”
As Cardi shared in her latest chat with fans, however, she’s in a much better place now. A couple weeks after snuggling courtside with Diggs at a New York Knicks game, the hip-hop star leveled with fans about how cautiously she’s approached dating again and slammed claims that she’s only “popping out” with someone new to make her ex jealous.
She also reaffirmed just how important it was for her own sanity to break things off with Offset last year. “If I was still there, I was going to end up going to jail,” she told fans. “‘Cause I was going to end up killing them, seriously, with my own bare hands.”
