Cardi B is over her marriage to Offset once again. Rumors of a split have been in the air for weeks as Cardi posted several cryptic social media posts recently, and the now-confirmed estranged couple have unfollowed one another on Instagram. While Cardi hasn't stated what led to this breaking point, cheating has been a factor in the past. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper took to Instagram in a Live video to break the news to her fans.

"I don't know if you've been getting clues from my Lives, from my Stories ... I've been single for a minute now," she said. "But I just don't know how to tell the world. The last time I got on Live, I wanted to tell you guys, but I didn't know how to tell you. So I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now. I just think that's fine. I want to start 2024, like, fresh, open. I'm curious for a new life, a new beginning. I'm excited."

The Live comes days after she shared messages about moving on from relationships. "You know when you just outgrow relationships," she wrote in a Dec. 4 Instagram Stories post, later adding, "I'm tired of protecting peoples feelings...I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!"

Cardi B and Offset married in 2017. Their on-again, off-again antics have been publicized on both ends. They split briefly in 2018 before reconciling and welcoming their second child, a son named Wave. They are also parents to a daughter, Kulture. Cardi filed for divorce in 2020 but called it off shortly after. After Wave was born, Cardi seemed hopeful about their future. "Of course we went through some challenges," she told E! News in November 2021. "We had to get to know each other better. But I feel like I've never been happier. I really feel like [it's] not even just like marriage, it's the family, the unity, the friendship that we have, the 'I have your back, you have my back.'" 

Recently, Offset insinuated Cardi cheated, which she denies. There are rumors that he was unfaithful with Chrisean Rock. But Cardi isn't paying the rumors any mind. 

Offset has had a difficult year. The Migos rapper lost his bandmember and cousin, Takeoff, to gun violence in November 2022. They were estranged at the time of his murder. He remains estranged from his other Migos member, Quavo.
