Offset Opens Up About His Mistakes In Marriage To Estranged Ex-Wife, Cardi B
American rapper Kiari Cephus, popularly known as Offset has reflected on his seven-year marriage to rapper Cardi B, admitting he made several mistakes that contributed to their split.
“I messed up, and it cost me my marriage,” Offset confessed, acknowledging that infidelity and poor decision-making took a toll on their relationship.
Speaking on Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast, the Migos rapper continued,
“I was definitely not perfect in the situation. I made a lot of mistakes. There’s a lot of things I did wrong. She did things that were wrong.”
Addressing their ongoing divorce, Offset said having their private issues play out publicly made things even harder. When asked if he would’ve done anything differently, he confessed,
“I should’ve respected her way more. I made bad decisions as a man — like stepping out.”
He added that when Cardi decided to leave, he had to “take it on the chin,” acknowledging that he had been selfish.
Despite their separation, the rapper expressed deep respect for Cardi B, referring to her as “bro,” and clarified that their divorce has not yet been finalized.
