Cardi B has alleged that her estranged husband Offset is delaying their divorce by demanding that she hand over "millions of dollars."
The I Like It star filed for divorce from the Migos rapper in July 2024 and has since moved forward with American football player Stefon Diggs, with whom she is expecting a child.
On Monday, Cardi spoke directly to her fans on X Spaces and explained why her divorce from Offset has not yet been finalized. The 32-year-old clarified that the delay has nothing to do with lingering feelings for him but rather a dispute over his alleged financial requests.
"Yes, I'm having a baby with somebody else. So what? That happens. It's life," she said. "Let me tell you something, I did things the correct way the first time. I fell in love. I got two rings on my finger. I lasted seven years... Stop saying, 'Oh, but you're still married.' No, I'm legally separated."
Cardi, who shares three children with Offset, went on to claim that he is the reason for the ongoing delay in their divorce.
"The only reason why I'm still married is because somebody wants me to pay for their taxes," she alleged. "Y'all wanna know the tea? The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else's taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties. I'm fighting for that, I'm gonna fight for that. This is not no love s**t."
She continued, "I'm not gonna stop living my life because on a contract I'm practically still married because somebody wanna hold me hostage if I don't give them millions of dollars to get out of it."
Offset has not yet responded to these accusations.
The couple married in 2017 and share daughters Kulture, eight, and Blossom, who is 12 months old, as well as their three-year-old son Wave.
Last week, Cardi confirmed that she is expecting her fourth child, her first with Stefon Diggs.
