In a no-holds-barred interview with Rolling Stone, Cardi B lays it all on the table, offering fans an intimate glimpse into her rollercoaster relationship with husband Offset and the complexities that come with fame, fortune, and family.
At 31, the Grammy-winning rapper pulls no punches as she delves into the highs and lows of her romance with Offset, a journey that has seen its fair share of twists and turns over the years. Yet, through it all, Cardi remains unapologetically real, sharing her unfiltered thoughts and emotions with refreshing honesty.
When asked where she stands with him, Cardi noted that Offset was “a helping hand” when he was around.
Speaking on her dynamic with Offset, Cardi reveals that despite their ups and downs, he has always been a pillar of support in her life. “When I met Offset, he was super rich and I just got my f-cking first $200,000 in the bank,” she recalls. “He never made me feel like I was little to him. He actually always used to tell me, ‘You a f-cking superstar, watch.’”
But it’s not just his wealth that draws Cardi to Offset—it’s their genuine connection and unwavering support for each other. “The part I love is that we really like each other, like a support system. We’re really both each other’s cheerleader,” she shares. “I don’t really like talking to people. I’m not as social. If I want something from somebody, he’ll be the one that will talk. Because I don’t like asking.”
However, despite their deep bond, Cardi acknowledges the challenges that come with balancing her skyrocketing career and her relationship. “We have our own bad stuff. We’re from two different worlds,” she admits. “Sometimes I cannot be … not that I cannot be a wife. It’s just like, my career takes my life. You know what I’m saying? My career comes first, then my kids come second.”
Yet, despite the hurdles they face, Cardi remains hopeful about their future together. “I think it through. We think it through, because we do love each other,” she reflects. “It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
