Cardi B is not here for the rumors. The Grammy-winning rapper took to X on September 16 to shut down speculation that she and estranged husband Offset were rekindling their romance, and she did it in the most Cardi way possible. In a since-deleted post, she wrote,“Never in your life never in THIS life. NEVER would you catch me doing that.”She even invited skeptics to search his phone or hire a private investigator. The rumor mill had been spinning thanks to an account believed to belong to model Melanie Jayda, who has been linked to Offset.
For context, Cardi and Offset filed for divorce a second time in July 2024 after seven years together, and the split is still tied up in court. They share three children: Kulture, Blossom and Wave. Cardi also welcomed a fourth child with NFL player Stefon Diggs in November 2025, and the two appeared to part ways earlier this year. So yeah, there’s a lot of history here, and Cardi made it clear she’s not looking backward.
But it’s not all drama. Cardi used a Spaces chat to tease a massive Europe tour for next year, hinting at big moves on the career front. Meanwhile, Offset is gearing up to drop his new solo single“Something I Need”on Friday, September 18, marking a fresh chapter for him musically. Two stars, two separate paths, one very eventful week.
Do you think Cardi and Offset will ever truly move on from each other, or will the headlines keep pulling them back together?
