“I love the fact that I’m with a grown ass man that’s going to provide, protect and help both of us GROW,” Cardi gushed as she shared a video of the festivities. “[A]nd can handle my mouth, my attitude, my confidence my weakness and all this ass!!”
Offset reciprocated the public declaration of love to Cardi in an Instagram post, writing: “Since I met you I grown to become a better man no matter what you have my back and I can trust you with my life blessed to have a loyal strong woman on my side…you are my safe place in this crazy world.”
However, as reported by People magazine, on Dec. 4. the “WAP” rapper sparked speculation that there may yet again be trouble in paradise, posting a message to her Instagram Stories, which said, “You know when you just out grow [sic] relationships … I’m tired of protecting peoples feelings…I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.”
After weeks of appearing independently at events (including Cardi’s debut runway walk for Balenciaga), Offset brought his mother, Latabia Woodward, as his date for an Art Basel performance in Miami on Friday night. On Sunday, both rappers were spotted at the “TikTok In the Mix” music festival in Mesa, Arizona — but the typically picture-happy couple did not appear to have attended together.
While no official divorce filings have been reported amid their most recent separation, Cardi indicated she is looking forward to a hard reset as 2024 approaches.
“I want to start 2024 fresh, open,” said the “I Like It” rapper in her livestream. “I’m curious for a new life, a new beginning. I’m excited.”
