The Migos rapper Offset has submitted documents to a court asking for spousal support from his estranged wife, Cardi B. This request goes against the couple’s original intent not to make money a factor in their breakup.
The legal maneuver came as an amended response filed in a New Jersey family court, where Offset finally requested financial support. The dollar amount is still under wraps. However, the action itself is raising eyebrows, particularly since the two had previously agreed to pay their own legal costs and not seek financial support from the other.
Minute by minute, their courtship was a tangent, two rappers and their off-the-charts but stormy relationship that ebbed and flowed over time. They’ve also played out public breakups, makeups, cheating rumors, and grand gestures of forgiveness. But with divorce papers pending and Offset’s unexpected request on files, it’s clear this chapter may be less about reconciling and more about the bottom line.
The couple has three young children together: their daughter Kulture, born in 2018; their son Wave, born in 2021; and a new baby girl, born in September 2024. We don’t yet know her name, but she’s the newest member of a family that has been in the public eye from the very beginning.
Cardi isn’t sweating the drama, at least not outwardly. She’s been hanging with NFL star Stefon Diggs and generated headlines while attending a viral Memorial Day boat party for all the wrong reasons. Diggs was recorded with an unidentified pink powder speculated by internet detectives to be “pink cocaine,” which his team, the New England Patriots, reviewed internally. Cardi had no comment on the substance of the resolution, but she was soaking up the sun and the attention.
Offset’s plea for so many might seem like an unexpected shift, particularly for a chart-topping and globetrotting megastar. But divorce, celebrity divorce especially, is rarely tidy. It’s uncertain if Offset needs the backup or if he’s flexing, but the court battle is getting more heated, and the stakes are more than emotional.
As people wait for this to play out, what first appeared as a modern hip-hop love story has transformed into a frenetic courtroom drama. And now that Offset is asking Cardi to do whatever it takes to clear his name in the wake of their split, this divorce war is a mess.
