Cardi B and Offset had walked this path before. Although it is unknown if this is a temporary or a definite split, the Dominican-American rapper recently confirmed that she is single.

In an Instagram Live, the star said she had hesitated to share the news but finally found courage. “I’ve been single for a minute now,” she said. “But I have been afraid to like—not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live, I kind of 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 took it as a sign.”

The Grammy winner and mom of two said that she is hopeful for the future. “I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open,” she continued. “I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”

Rumors of their separation

Cardi B announced her split from Offset following speculation on social media that the couple had unfollowed each other. At the time, she also shared a cryptic Instagram Story about relationships. “You know when you just outgrow relationships,” she wrote on December 4, adding, “I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings...I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!”
