Cardi B continues to be an open book. In a new interview she discusses a rough patch in her relationship with Offset.
Per Complex, the Bronx bombshell recently sat down with Jason Lee for The Jason Lee Show on REVOLT. The two discussed a variety of topics, but opening up regarding some of her and Offset’s past relationship issues seemed to be the highlight of the visit.
“Me and Offset, we was not seeing eye to eye,” Bardi revealed. “This was, like, the same year that I filed for divorce and everything. I’m going let him talk about this, because…the main thing that was really bothering me, I’m [going] let him say it himself. I want him to say it because I feel like that’s really part of his story.”
While she was selective with how much she gave away, she added some context. “The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed. And it showed me that he wanted to change for me” she said. Ultimately, Offset was able to win her back by stepping up.
“You [can] just see when somebody’s trying,” Cardi explained. “I feel like we got married so young, and we got married so, like, spontaneously. And we did know each other, but we kind [of] didn’t know each other. We just was in love with each other and we had, like, a little toxic relationship. During our marriage and by time passing, we grew. We grew with each other.”

The “I Like It” rapper is the latest guest on The Jason Lee Podcast this week, where she revealed that she and Offset were planning on going to a Halloween party on the night of Takeoff’s death, but stayed home after their four-year-old Kulture threw up on Cardi’s costume.
“We just fell asleep and out of nowhere, Offset’s phone kept ringing, my phone kept ringing,” she recalled. “Offset picked up the phone and he [was] just like, ‘Noooo,’ and he [was] screaming and screaming. I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ and he’s like, ‘Takeoff is dead.’”
“I smacked him and I said, ‘Don’t say that. Like, don’t say that!’ And then he [was] just screaming and just throwing things, throwing up, running all over and I was so scared,” she continued. “I was just crying so much. It was terrible.”
Cardi added that despite the tragedy, she’s grateful for the time she spent with Migos, consisting of Takeoff, his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset. “I feel like I’m so happy that I experienced all those great moments when they were all together and everything,” she said. “It’s a great memory. Sometimes I cannot even listen to Culture because I get emotional. I love them forever.”
Takeoff was just 28 years old when he was fatally shot following a private party at a downtown Houston bowling alley. Takeoff’s primary cause of death was listed as “penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm,” according to an autopsy.

Cardi B continues to be the voice of the people. Her recent vide rant on inflation is everything and then some.
As spotted on CNN the Bronx, New York native recently felt a ways after her last grocery pick up. She took to social media to vent and it started with a tweet that explained her frustration. “Naaaaaa grocery shopping prices are ridiculous right now You might as well eat outside !!” she wrote. She followed things up with a second post with some receipts saying “B*** why lettuce cost 6 dollars where I live at ?”.
As expected her opinion was met with both support and criticism online. She soon filmed a video explaining why she feels so appalled at the soaring prices of food. “Let me tell you somethin’: When I be complaining about food prices, and y’all motherf***ers be like, ‘Ain’t you rich? Why you complaining about this?’, that just goes to show me, when you become successful, when you have money, you gonna go broke soon because y’all not budgeting,” she said.
Bardi went on to further detail her stance. “I get a summary of the money that’s being spent in my home every week. So, when I’m starting to see that groceries is, like, tripling up, it’s like, ay, yo, what the f*** is going on? I wanna see for myself what the f*** sh*t is being spent on, and when I go to the f***ing supermarket — I went to the supermarket — I’m seeing that everything tripled up” she revealed. “That lettuce was, like, $2 a couple of months ago, and now, it’s like f***ing $7. Of course, I’ma say something! The f***! ‘Cause if I think that sh*t is crazy, I can only imagine what middle-class people or people in the hood is motherf***ing thinking. So, yes, I’m going to say something”.

Cardi is no stranger to giving her opinions on economic, social and political issues online. In her sit-down with David Letterman on the fourth season of the chat legend’s Netflix series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Cardi explained her reasoning behind voicing her opinions.
“I think people in your position have a strength in terms of political activism and changing the world and changing the way people feel and think, not only about themselves, but the problems of the world at large is wonderful,” Letterman tells the rapper.
“I don’t really put a lot of political things in my music, but I used the f–k out of my platform,” she responded. “And I have used my platform even when I was a dancer. Because you might think that people are not looking, but they are.”
She continued, “I mean, I’m a hood chick, and I’m from the Bronx. A lot of people relate to me and follow me because they want to see how I’m dressed, they want to see my lifestyle. I feel like I have a responsibility to also share to them like, ‘Hey, while you here and you’re checking my outfit and checking my music, check out what’s going on over here in this part of the world.’”

Cardi B continues to win in court. Her original not guilty verdict from a lawsuit stemming from her mixtape cover is being upheld by a federal judge.
As per Digital Music News the Bronx, New York native got some more good news right before the close of 2022. Back in October a jury sided with Cardi B regarding a copyright infringement matter where a man claimed his back tattoo was used without permission for the cover of Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1. The project in question features a man with a very unique tattoo on his back with his head in between Bardi’s legs. Kevin Brophy Jr. says that the ink is actually his and the similarity caused him great distress therefore staining his reputation.
His legal team requested the verdict be overturned, via Rule 50, but Judge Cormac J. Carney has denied it thus upholding the original not guilty verdict. “Brophy does not claim that he in fact made a Rule 50(a) motion before the case was submitted to the jury,” the court documents read.
“Rather, he points to instances when the parties and the Court discussed the best process for making such a motion and argues that the instances either amounted to a stipulation allowing each party to make a motion after the verdict or otherwise preserved a party’s right to make one then. But that is not the case.” Carney concludes the response with a very clear dismissal saying “It is not for this Court to second-guess the verdict now.”

GloRilla and Cardi B’s collaboration “Tomorrow 2” hits No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart (dated Dec. 24). The song rises from No. 2 to top the list after a 6% boost to 21.1 million audience impressions made it the most-heard song on U.S. monitored R&B/hip-hop radio stations in the week ending Dec. 18, according to Luminate.
Through the new leader, GloRilla captures her first No. 1 on the list. Her sole prior entry, the viral hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” with Hitkidd, reached a No. 3 peak in August.
For Cardi B, “Tomorrow 2” becomes the hitmaker’s fifth on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. She previously led with this slate of chart-toppers:
“Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” 10 weeks at No. 1, beginning Sept. 30, 2017“No Limit,” G-Eazy featuring A$AP Rocky & Cardi B, six, Dec. 23, 2017“Money,” nine, Feb. 2, 2019“Please Me,” with Bruno Mars, 11, April 6, 2019
Plus, the combined might of both rappers yields only the fourth all-female collaboration to reach No. 1 out of 297 total leaders on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay since the chart’s launch in 1992. Brandy and Monica inaugurated the club with the smash single “The Boy Is Mine,” which ruled for five weeks in 1998. In 2007, Keyshia Cole recruited Missy Elliott and Lil Kim as featured acts for the track “Let It Go,” a four-week champ that year, and in 2020, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, became the third entrant into the league and spent three weeks atop the list.
Of note, there’s one more instance of multiple female acts on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay No. 1, though it isn’t an all-women billing. In 2001, Ja Rule’s “Put It on Me,” featuring Lil Mo and Vita, posted six weeks in charge.
Beyond its R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay coronation, “Tomorrow 2” retains its standing to claim a fourth week at No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart as the most-played song on U.S. monitored R&B/hip-hop radio stations. There, it continues to improve, with 5% more plays in the tracking week ending Dec. 18 than the prior seven-day period. Similarly, it wins a third term atop Rap Airplay after a 7% audience boost in the same tracking window.
On Rhythmic Airplay, meanwhile, the collaboration ascends 8-7 thanks to a 9% gain in weekly plays at the format. Success at all the formats helps the song maintain its No. 15 peak thus far on the all-genre Radio Songs chart for a second straight week, where, despite its static position, “Tomorrow 2” increased 5% in audience impressions to reach 31.9 million for the week ending Dec. 16.

On Thursday (Dec. 15), Offset shared a hilariously NSFW photo in which he and the “I Like It” rapper are seen standing in front of a waterfall, with Cardi bent over in front of her husband in a suggestive pose. “Happy birthday to me,” he simply captioned the picture.
The “WAP” rapper, meanwhile, posted a touching tribute to her husband of five years to Instagram, and shared lots of videos of how the couple commemorated his day by hitting the beach and partying in Jamaica. “Happy birthday my love,” Cardi wrote, posting a reel of photos of Offset. “I pray silently and I pray loudly on this post that God bless you & protect you.”
“Thank you for your love to me,” she added. “I love your 4ever & beyond.”
The festivities come just a month and a half after Takeoff, Offset’s cousin and former Migos bandmate, was shot and killed Nov. 1 at a bowling alley in the Houston area. Offset was present alongside Quavo, the third member of the Migos trio and Takeoff’s uncle, at Takeoff’s celebration of life ceremony on Nov. 11.

“I don’t give a deum how they flip it ,switch it, turn it, toss it Casey Anthony is a disgrace of a mother and she shouldn’t have a uterus,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper tweeted on Monday (Dec. 5). “I don’t feel bad for her or for the daddy YALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED to that baby !!!!”

In July 2008, three-year-old Caylee was reported missing by Casey’s mother, Cindy, who called authorities after she hadn’t seen the toddler for 31 days. Casey lied to detectives, telling them Caylee had been kidnapped by a nanny. On December 11, 2008, Caylee’s skeletal remains were found with a blanket inside a laundry bag near the Anthony family’s house.
The trial in 2011 lasted six weeks, and the jury found Casey not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child. She was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
According to the Peacock docuseries’ description, “Considered one of the first “trials of the century” that polarized conversation in living rooms across America, the Casey Anthony case is one that still leaves more questions than answers. “There have been several movies and documentaries made to fill in the gaps, and yet, the woman at the center of it all remains the biggest mystery. Throughout the exclusive three-part documentary series, Casey Anthony finally tells her side of the story and addresses the public that has made so many assumptions for the past 13 years.”
Cardi B dropped by The Breakfast Club on Thursday morning (Dec. 1) and dropped some crumbs about when to expect her next studio album.
When Cardi called in for Angela Yee’s last day with The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God asked if the rapper had a release date in mind for the highly anticipated follow-up to her Grammy-winning debut album Invasion of Privacy, which she released in April 2018 via Atlantic Records.
“I have no choice, I have to put it out,” she replied. “I have like a couple of songs that are like definite, I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I need to just make up my mind and put it out.”
DJ Envy gassed her up by saying since “every record you put out went No. 1” (for the record, Cardi has five No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 so far), it’s time for her to put out more music. But the “Up” rapper still feels like the new project is “missing something. I gotta put it out, I gotta put it out next year,” she said, revealing a timeline.
Charlamagne threw out the idea of releasing it on April 6, 2023, to coincide with Invasion of Privacy‘s fifth anniversary, and it sounded like Cardi could be up for it. But time will only tell when exactly to expect her sophomore studio album.
Earlier in the interview, when Charlamagne asked why Cardi was calling in today, she woefully responded, “Because Angela Yee is leaving.” Back in August, Yee revealed she was leaving The Breakfast Club to host her own nationally syndicated daily show, Way Up With Angela Yee, which will launch on iHeartRadio. Cardi topped off her farewell with an a cappella performance of “Until We Meet Again,” the closing theme song from the Playhouse Disney series Out of the Box.
“You’re such a huge part of the show too,” Yee told the chart-topping MC, who’s been a guest a handful of times. But Cardi might be expanding her role on The Breakfast Club as soon as next year: Charlamagne suggested she fill in as a guest-host during the week leading up to her album release date. “Ooh that would be fun,” she replied.
