Cardi B is seeking primary custody of her children with rapper Offset, according to court records from their divorce proceedings. The Grammy-winning artist is also requesting child support from Offset, who is known for his solo career and as a member of the rap group Migos.
Court Filings and Custody Requests
The details of Cardi B’s custody and child support requests were outlined in divorce documents filed on Thursday in the New Jersey Superior Court in Bergen County. The filings were obtained last Friday. Cardi B, 31, and Offset, 32, currently have two children: six-year-old daughter Kulture and two-year-old son Wave. Cardi B is also pregnant with their third child, which she announced on Instagram last Thursday. The court documents confirm that Offset is the father of the unborn child.
The filing cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce, stating that there is “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation” between the two. A representative for Cardi B emphasized that the decision to divorce is not based on a single incident but is the result of ongoing issues over a significant period of time.
Fashion and Pregnancy
In addition to the legal developments, Cardi B has been making headlines with her pregnancy fashion. One week after confirming her pregnancy, Cardi B took to social media to express relief at no longer needing to conceal her pregnancy. On August 4, she tweeted, “I’m so happy y’all know I’m [pregnant] now I can stop wearing those deum school girl skirts lmaoooooo.” Over the past several months, Cardi has frequently worn high-waisted school girl skirts, first sharing a photo in a brown plaid one in April, paired with a tight green graphic tee.
Background on Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B and Offset secretly married on September 20, 2017, in Atlanta, before publicly announcing their engagement a month later. Cardi B rose to fame as a cast member on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: New York” before achieving significant success with her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy.” The album included hit singles such as “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin. Her subsequent hits include collaborations like “Girls Like You” with Maroon 5, “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion, and “Up.”
Offset has enjoyed a successful career both as a solo artist and as a member of Migos, known for hits such as “Bad and Boujee.”
Previous Divorce Filing
This is not the first time Cardi B has filed for divorce. In 2020, she filed for divorce in Georgia, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” However, she later withdrew the filing, and the couple reconciled for a period.
The details of the current divorce filing were first reported by TMZ and have since been confirmed by other news outlets.
Statements from Representatives
A representative for Cardi B told The Associated Press that the divorce is amicable and not the result of any specific incident. The representative stressed that it had been a long time coming and was a mutual decision between the parties involved.
Conclusion
The high-profile nature of Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has always attracted significant media attention. As they navigate their divorce, the focus will likely remain on the arrangements for their children, Cardi B’s pregnancy, and the ongoing developments in their personal and professional lives.
