The subtext in Cardi B and Offset’s drama has shifted to something hitting new extremes, and this time, it’s more than just a few vague tweets and exits from one another’s social media pages. During an emotional livestream over the weekend, Cardi B took to Twitter Spaces to accuse Offset of making shocking threats against himself and her during their ongoing divorce battle.
Cardi B did not mince words as she posted disturbing messages that she claimed were sent to her by Offset. “This dude … is mad because I sent his girlfriend the text messages of him begging me, begging me saying he was going to take away his life, begging me saying he’s going to take away my life,” she said in the livestream.
The Bronx-born rapper, never one to shy away from a verbal battle, sounded more distraught than enraged, describing the toxic situation that would make her and the Migos star a pair to avoid.
The two have certainly had public ups and downs, multiple breakups, reconciliations, and cheating allegations. Still, this last revelation has fans worrying more than ever about what’s happening behind the scenes.
Apart from the supposedly threatening words, Cardi also made another bombshell claim. She claimed that Offset sent something raunchy between the two of them to someone whom she had a romantic relationship with.
“This man sent text messages to somebody that I was dealing with … of me and him having sex,” she said, incredulous at what she saw as a deeply personal violation.
If accurate, the situation raises grave ethical and legal questions. Revenge tactics in public breakups aren’t new, but this high-profile level of exposure and emotional destruction is shaking the hip-hop world and its fandom.
As you might expect, reactions from fans and critics poured out on social media. Others expressed concern about Offset’s alleged mental state, encouraging him to get help if he’s having trouble. Others sided with Cardi, blasting Offset for what they considered manipulative and abusive behavior.
Meanwhile, in the same breath, some wondered if this was another episode in the not-so-epic saga of inseparable obsession. The couple broke up and made up more times than fans can count. And given their precedent of dramatic public feuds followed by dramatic reunions, there is always an opening for the possibility that this is not the end of the road for them.
Having these explosive allegations made public, the focus is now on Offset to react. Thus far, he has not said anything, leaving fans and followers to wonder whether he will seek to deny the allegations, confront them directly, or let the storm blow over.
In the meantime, Cardi has made it clear that she’s ready to move on, but with the emotions high and tensions flaring, it’s unclear what “moving on” will look like for the two.
