Cardi B, the American rapper, and her husband Offset have taken the step of unfollowing each other on Instagram, leading to widespread speculation about potential issues in their relationship.
The development follows cryptic messages posted by Cardi B on her Instagram story, where she emphasized the significance of self-focus and the inevitability of outgrowing relationships. These posts raised concerns among fans about the state of her six-year-long marriage with Offset, a former member of Migos.
In one of her slides, Cardi B stated, “You know when you just outgrow relationships,” followed by, “I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings… I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.” Simultaneously, Offset shared his own enigmatic message on his Instagram story, featuring a clip from the movie Scarface where Al Pacino’s character declares, “Hey, f**k you, man! Who put this thing together? Me! Who do I trust? Me!”
This development unfolded just two months after Offset surprised Cardi with an extravagant flower arrangement for her birthday, garnering heartfelt appreciation from her. However, the recent turn of events has ignited speculations about potential challenges in their marriage.
The couple has experienced ups and downs in their relationship, notably in 2020 when Cardi B filed for divorce due to alleged repeated infidelity by Offset. Despite resolving their differences, they have faced intermittent challenges, with the latest public discord in June 2023 when Offset accused Cardi of infidelity, an accusation she vehemently denied on Twitter.
The recent solo appearance of Cardi at the Balenciaga Fall 2024 Show in Los Angeles has added fuel to the speculations, deviating from their usual pattern of attending events together. Fans are now left hoping that the rumors circulating about the state of their marriage are unfounded.
