Pregnant Cardi B Asks Offset for Child Support Amid Divorce

As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics, I must say that the rollercoaster ride of Cardi B and Offset is nothing short of captivating. Their relationship, marked by high-profile splits and dramatic reconciliations, seems to be a testament to the complexities of love, friendship, and communication in the public eye.


Cardi B wants her ex to help offset the costs of raising their kids.

In a recent court petition regarding her separation from her husband, commonly known as Offset, the expectant mother of a new child made requests for principal guardianship of their offspring and financial assistance in the form of child maintenance.

According to legal papers filed in August and acquired by TopMob News, rapper Cardi B (formerly of Migos) and her family, who include a 6-year-old daughter named Kulture Kiari Cephus and a 2-year-old son called Wave Set Cephus, are planning to welcome their third child towards the end of this year.

The individual referred to as Offset, who has children Jordan (age 14), Kalea (age 9), and Kody (age 8) from past relationships, has yet to react to the divorce papers filed by his estranged spouse in court.

TopMob News has reached out to Offset’s rep for comment but has not heard back.

As a diehard supporter, I’m echoing Cardi B’s (neé Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) plea for fairness in the division of assets. If they were to amass any property during our over six-year union with Offset, I hope it’s distributed equitably according to the court’s ruling.

The petition indicates that for the last six months, a 31-year-old woman (whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus) and her husband, aged 32, have encountered insurmountable problems in their marriage leading to its dissolution, as there seems to be no chance of reconciling.

In setting the record straight as your go-to lifestyle guide, I’d like to clarify any rumors surrounding the dissolution of their union. Here’s the lowdown on the factors that ultimately ended their marriage, legally speaking.

The representative shared with TopMob News on August 1 that it’s not derived from a single event, rather it’s something that has evolved over time.

In December, the artist known for “Bodak Yellow” posted on social platforms that she had been solo for some time, and furthermore, she dropped a mysterious comment hinting at the conclusion of her romantic relationships.

The following month, Cardi B indicated during an X live chat that she and her partner had reunited after spending New Year’s Eve weekend clubbing, according to Billboard. In April, they were spotted attending a New York Knicks game together at Madison Square Garden, as captured in a fan’s video.

Cardi announced her pregnancy on social media the day she filed the papers to end her marriage.

“As one chapter concludes, another is about to unfold for me! I’m deeply thankful for the time we’ve spent together during this phase. You’ve showered me with so much love, vitality, and most importantly, rekindled my strength. A reminder that I can embrace all life has to offer!”

She exclaimed, “You’ve made me realize that I don’t need to sacrifice life, love, and my passion! I adore you so deeply and can hardly wait for you to see what you’ve inspired me to achieve, what you’ve motivated me to strive for! It’s tough going through life’s ups and downs, but you, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s valuable to persevere!”

In simpler terms, “He stands by me in all situations, and I stand by him in all situations,” Cardi explained. “This means that if you are unfaithful, you’re breaking the trust of the person who supports you the most. Why would you do that? Our relationship is built on understanding. For me, being faithful is the only option. I’ll confront you if you step out on me.”

As I reflect on our almost five-year journey as a married couple, I can’t help but reminisce about the initial stages of our union.

In an interview with Essence for their 2022 cover story, she expressed that despite our strong feelings for one another during the first year, there was also a lot of physical attraction, which we might call “lust”. Since he had four shows per week and I had the same workload, we didn’t have much time to truly get to know each other. We would only see each other about three or four times a month.
