Not Foreva? Cardi B And Offset’s Split Saga
The showbiz world has seen its fair share of fiery breakups over the years. But even so, few celebrity romances have ended on a more discordant note than Cardi B and Offset’s in recent times. It’s been hard to look away! Mind you, while the barbs and stinging comments have dominated the headlines, we can’t ignore what the split’s done to their respective careers and personal lives. The high-profile saga has had an interesting effect to say the least.
How it all began...
This eye-catching showbiz romance first began back at the start of 2017. At the turn of that year, Cardi dropped her latest track “Lick,” collaborating on the song with Offset.
Then, just a few weeks later, the pair sparked plenty of gossip when they were spotted together at Super Bowl LI. As we later found out, that was indeed their first date.
“I wanted to have fun”
Offset reflected on that when he was a guest on The Tonight Show in 2021. The rapper recalled, “My first date, I went big. I wanted to do something that wasn’t normally done, you know what I’m saying?”
“I wanted to have fun, so I took [Cardi] to the Super Bowl.” Cardi also shared her views during an interview with GQ, explaining how the date had been put together.
“It got really serious”
Cardi said, “I told my publicist to tell [Offset], because I was very shy, ‘Listen, if we’re gonna go on a public date together, you cannot make me look like a dumbass after this.’”
“And he was like, ‘No, I really like her. I’m really feeling her.’ We were talking, we were making out [on the date]. After the Super Bowl, it got really serious because I feel, like, all eyes [were] on us.”
Making things “official”
Cardi had a point — she and Offset went on to make headlines again when they were seen at an afterparty for the Met Gala in May 2017. The rumors regarding a potential romance were quite rampant at that stage.
But their relationship wasn’t made official to the public until the fall of that year. In front of a shocked crowd, Offset decided to propose to Cardi at a gig in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an apparently out-of-the-blue offer which she gladly accepted.
