Famous American rapper, Belcalis Almánzar, popularly known as Cardi B, has officially ended her six-year marriage with her husband, Offset.
Recall that the duo’s union has been speculated to have developed hiccups following a series of cryptic posts that appeared on Cardi’s Instagram page last week.
In one of these posts, the rapper mentioned shedding “dead weight” in the upcoming year, specifying mentalities, procrastination, laziness, and people as elements she aimed to eliminate.
Another post from Cardi read,
“You know when you just outgrow relationships. I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings… I gotta put myself first.”
Notably, the couple unfollowed each other on their Instagram pages last week, fueling the speculation.
In an Instagram Live session on Monday, Cardi B officially confirmed the separation from her husband Offset.
She said,
“I don’t know if y’all have been getting clues from me from my Live, I mean… or from my Instagram Stories, where I put certain music. When it comes to events and stuff, I don’t think it’s true, I don’t care to find out because I have been single for a minute now.
“But I’ve been afraid…not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. The last time I went on Live, I kinda 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.”
The separation follows amid allegations that Offset had an affair with American rapper Blueface’s baby mama, Christian Rock.
