Cardi B dropped her initial divorce application in 2020

Cardi B has also requested primary custody of her daughter Kulture and son Wave. She previously filed for divorce from Offset in September 2020.

In her recent interview on ‘The Jason Lee Show' shared with ET, Cardi B reflected on her troubled relationship. “Me and Offset, we was not seeing eye-to-eye,” she said.

She added, “This was like, the same year I filed for divorce and everything. I’m gonna let him talk about this because the main thing that was really bothering me — I’ma let him say it,. I want him to say it because I feel like that’s really part of his story.”

Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, insisted that her husband has changed his ways. “The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed, and it showed me that he wanted to change for me,” she added.

After she withdrew her application for divorce back in 2020, Cardi B said, “I didn’t really want to talk about my relationship s–t because I know y’all sick and tired of me going back and forth with Offset.”

“Y’all sound f*****g crazy when you start using the word ‘abusive.’ I’m not in a physically abusive relationship. I’m not in a mentally abusive relationship. I have choices,” the rapper added.
