Cardi B reportedly reached out to Offset, asking him to withdraw his demands in their divorce case so they could separate peacefully for the sake of their children. However, Offset refused. Reports suggest Offset is not truly seeking custody but rather the financial benefits tied to it. If money was not involved, he likely wouldn’t be pushing for custody. Sources say he won’t get half of Cardi B’s fortune, but he may secure access to the house. This way, when the kids visit, he would have a place for them, provided under Cardi’s support. The tension reflects a financial battle more than parental care.
Cardi B and Offset have had a lot of ups and down throughout their years-long romance. The on-off couple, who share three kids together, secretly got married in 2018, but called it quits for good in 2024. As of August 2025, they are still broken up, and Cardi has moved on with Stefon Diggs.
