Cardi B just announced that she is now single, confirming her breakup from her husband Offset. The two rappers have had ups and downs over the years, but Cardi told fans “I’ve been single for a minute now” on Instagram Live. This suggests their latest split could stick.
In the past, Cardi B and Offset had broken up and then gotten back together a few times. Their relationship faced cheating rumors, fighting on social media, and even a divorce filing at one point. However, they always ended up patching things up.
This time, though, Cardi seems very sure that she wants to move on. She said she is putting herself first from now on, even if that disappoints some fans who loved her and Offset as a couple. Her career is busier than ever between new music and acting roles. So Cardi is focusing fully on work and self-care rather than falling back into the drama.
While no one knows the future, Cardi B feels happy being on her own right now. She is excited about what is next for her as a single woman. Her main goal is avoiding more relationship stress so she can feel good and keep slaying as an artist.
When Fans Last Saw Cardi B and Offset as a Couple
The last time Cardi B and Offset were seen together was in July 2023. They went to some fancy fashion shows in Paris as a couple. Photos show them laughing, hugging, and just looking happy. Who would have thought they would break up months later?
But over the summer, there were still signs of drama. Offset made headlines when he accused Cardi of cheating on him. Cardi denied it and fired back that Offset was the one spiraling over nothing. As usual, they moved past the fight pretty fast.
In September, Cardi and Offset actually celebrated 5 years of marriage together. So fans who shipped this celebrity couple were totally shocked in December when Cardi admitted she has been single. I guess those Paris PDA pics were one of the last times the public saw Cardi B and Offset all lovey-dovey before announcing their split. Even through all the ups and downs before, people still hoped they would make it last!
Cardi B and Offset's Relationship Timeline
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has sure been a rollercoaster! They started dating back in the early days of 2017. People were shocked when the two rappers got married that September, only months after meeting.
But by the end of 2018, rumors of the latest Cardi B breakup surfaced. Cardi announced she and Offset were over shortly after having a baby together. Of course, the split did not last too long. In 2019, they rekindled their romance again.
The next major Cardi B breakup news came in September 2020 when she filed paperwork to divorce Offset. With cheating accusations and all their messy fights, a divorce seemed inevitable to fans. However, weeks later they called it off. It was back to the on-again phase after that brief breakup scare.
Over the years, it became clear that Cardi B and Offset’s relationship was very intensely up-and-down. But every time they broke up, they always got back together – until maybe now in late 2023. When Cardi told the world she has been “single for a minute,” fans recognized Cardi meant business finally leaving the nonstop drama with Offset behind her. This latest Cardi B breakup might stick for good!

Cardi B Confirms Split Saying She's Been "Single for a Minute"
Even though they made up, many fans assumed Cardi B and Offset would never call it quits after so many years together. Well, it looks like Cardi is ready to prove everyone wrong!
On Instagram Live, Cardi straight up said “I’m single” right now. She explained she has actually been riding solo for “a minute” already but was scared to share the breakup news. After making up and breaking up countless times in the spotlight over the years, putting her relationship drama on blast yet again was not something Cardi was dying to do.
But the cat is out the bag – Cardi’s single! The rapper said she’s focusing on self-care right now rather than running back to Offset as she’s done so many times before. Even though Cardi B still has love for Offset, she knows needs to love herself and make her own happiness a priority first and foremost. No more taking Offset back because it is familiar or because their turbulent relationship captivated fans for so long. This could definitely be the final Cardi B breakup that makes her realize she needs to put herself first from this point on no matter what.
Cardi Focuses on Her Music, Acting Career Amid Breakup
With Cardi B’s messy split from Offset behind her, Cardi seems completely focused on the next chapter in her awesome entertainment career. Sources say Cardi has been living at her Atlanta home and hitting the studio a ton lately working on new music.
Some of Cardi’s biggest songs that won awards came out around the time of her past breakups with Offset too. So fans hope she drops another hit inspired by her heartbreak! Cardi also earned major praise last year for her performance as a badass stripper in the movie Hustlers. Rumor is she has gotten a few more big acting gig offers too.
Now that she finally stopped the on-again, off-again pattern with Offset for good, Cardi B can focus fully on taking over the music and movie scene without any relationship mess dragging her down. An insider said “Cardi seems happier than ever being on her own right now.” She feels empowered hustling hard at work and has no interest going backwards with Offset drama.
Cardi B’s relationship may have sunk, but now she is putting all her energy into making sure her red-hot career only soars higher! No more distractions.
What's Next for Cardi B and Offset
