Cardi and Offset's Rollercoaster Romance
Cardi B's love story with Offset is nothing short of a modern-day soap opera. Despite their high-profile split, the power couple has found their way back to each other, proving that love can survive even in the glitzy, unpredictable world of celebrity.
"When I met Offset, he was super rich and I just got my f***ing first $200,000 in the bank," she recalled, further praising him for "never [making] me feel like I was little to him. He actually always used to tell me, ‘You a f--ng superstar, watch.’"
However, she admitted that their relationship is rocky and they both “have our own bad stuff” as they’re from “two different worlds.”
It's no secret that Cardi B is a workaholic. Her career is her number one priority, a fact that she openly admits sometimes puts her relationship on the back burner. "My career comes first, then my kids come second," she states, highlighting the tough choices she's had to make.
Despite the challenges, Cardi's focus on her music career has led her to monumental success, though not without personal sacrifices.
She then reflected about her most recent, highly public split from Offset.
"I remember last year when we was going through out hard time. And [he was] like, ‘Put your album out. You’re overstressing. When was the last time we went on a vacation? And it’s like, ‘I don’t got time to go on a vacation, because this comes first,’" she admitted.
New priorities
"This comes first then my kids come second. The little things I have to take care of then comes. I sometimes feel like I do probably put my relationship last."
Cardi B is candid about the struggle to balance her booming career with her role as a mother and wife. Reflecting on a particularly tough period last year, she shares how Offset encouraged her to take a break and focus on their family. Yet, Cardi's relentless drive kept her in the studio, prioritizing her music above all else.
This dedication has occasionally placed her relationship in the backseat, a reality she's bravely confronting.
She also remembers feeling guilty when she had to back out of her Invasion of Privacy tour after having daughter Kulture. "My baby was so little — germs and planes and ear popping on a newborn?" Cardi asked. "Can you imagine a baby in a f---ing tour bus?"
Comparing the first year of motherhood to competing on a game show, the rapper said, "It f---ed me up. Yo, postpartum is something you can't even explain."
