Cardi B Shuts Down Offset Child Support Rumors
Divorces can tend to get pretty nasty. Especially ones like this that are currently under the microscope of the general public. But so far, the divorce between Offset and Cardi appears to be pretty mellow. She recently shut down rumors that she would be requesting child support from Offset in the divorce filing.
“Ok this is getting weird cause I can say he helps me a lot with my business and the kids,” she wrote in the comments section of the Jasmine Brand’s Instagram post.
“Never in my career no matter what I went through I had friends or family go to the media so I don’t know who is this damn source going to People magazine. Even with my filling I’m not asking for child support my claim is for him to only pay for the bills he already pays on the kids and the new one.”

Cardi B was married to Offset for seven years. She also recently announced that she and the former Migos member are expecting a third child together. One source told PEOPLE that Cardi splitting from offset “wasn’t an easy decision.” However, she knew that it was the necessary one for her to make.

“It’s been a long time coming. It’s not just one issue,” the source added. “She’s matured a lot. She knows exactly what she wants her life to look like. She’s super focused on her kids and work.”
