Offset faces backlash for demanding spousal support from Cardi B in new divorce filing: 'He's broke'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Offset is now asking for spousal support from Cardi B, marking a new chapter in their turbulent divorce proceedings.

The rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, submitted an updated response to Cardi’s divorce filing earlier this month in New Jersey’s Bergen County Superior Court, TMZ first reported.

While most of his filing remains unchanged, the amended paperwork now includes a demand for an unspecified amount of alimony from the Grammy-winning 'WAP' artist.

Representatives for both Offset and Cardi B have yet to comment on the latest legal development.

Cardi B, born Belcalis Almanzar, initially filed for divorce in August 2024 after six years of marriage. At the time, she sought primary custody of their three children — five-year-old Kulture, two-year-old Wave, and a then-unborn baby.

Her team characterized the split as amicable and long overdue.

However, public exchanges between the two have told a different story. In December, Offset lashed out on social media with crude accusations, prompting a fiery response from Cardi. “F**k off and sign the papers TODAY,” she fired back, making it clear that tensions were high behind the scenes.

Offset’s February court filing requested joint custody and proposed Cardi’s home as the children’s primary residence.

Cardi B publicly accused her estranged husband of neglecting their children during the holiday season out of spite. 

In a fiery outburst shared via X Spaces on January 14, Cardi alleged that Offset failed to buy Christmas presents for their kids.

The Grammy winner, 32, did not hold back in expressing her frustration over what she described as a pattern of manipulation and emotional retaliation from Offset.

“Do you guys know that my kids didn’t receive no Christmas gifts from somebody in particular?” she told fans. “Mutha*****s want to make it seem on social media like I was keeping my kids away from them, like to make movies on social media, but purposely fly to New York to buy their kids gift and guess how many kids did they buy my kids? Zero.”

Taking a clear jab at her soon-to-be ex, she said, “A mutha****a thought he was gonna ruin my year and have me f****d up like they had me f****d up last year, but I’m so strong.”

“I’m so f***ing strong and it doesn’t affect me anymore,” she said. “Even after you try to ruin me by being spiteful towards me and my kids, I still got my a** up and went to f***ing work.”

Cardi didn’t hold back as she continued, “You wanna talk about you haven’t accepted the divorce because you’re not gonna be on my terms because you just wanna see the kids.”

Then she dropped the bomb. “You wanna see the kids? You just called your daughter for the first time this year yesterday. Your newborn.”

Internet reacts after Offset demands spousal support from Cardi B in divorce filing

The Internet is buzzing after news broke that rapper Offset is requesting spousal support from Cardi B in their latest divorce case, sparking a wave of backlash and heated commentary online.

One user summed up the outrage, writing, “So he cheats on her numerous times, she finally actually leaves him and files for divorce… and he wants her to pay. Wow. He shouldn’t have cheated.”

Many fans rushed to Cardi's defense, applauding her for walking away, “Cardi is finally free from him but at a price. IMO it’s better for her to be without him in her life than with him. He will wish to find another woman like Cardi.”

Others didn’t hold back in criticizing Offset’s motives, with one writing, “This is why he’s always in the casino... he’s broke.”

“Dude, have some self respect,” an individual said.

Another chimed in, “He’s a bitter narcissist! He fumbled the bag! Let it go, Offset!” 

A user lamented, “Men have no shame nowadays. No woman should ever pay alimony to a man. Shameful.”
