Cardi B has once again taken to social media to address rumors swirling around her personal life, specifically the suggestion that her relationship with Offset is a “publicity stunt.” The rapper, known for her unfiltered approach, went live on Instagram to defend her decisions and set the record straight for her fans and critics.During her Instagram Live session, Cardi B made it clear that she has no interest in using her relationship for media attention. Instead, she emphasized the real challenges and costs of co-parenting her two children with Offset, making it evident that her priority is their well-being, not stirring up public drama.

Over the past few years, Cardi B’s relationship with Offset has been the subject of intense public scrutiny, with fans and media alike speculating about their ups and downs. However, Cardi was quick to shut down any notion that their relationship struggles—or even their separations—were orchestrated for attention.

“Do you really think that my baby dad is going to be like, yeah, yeah, do that?” she said. “I’m going to sacrifice my career that I worked for so hard for you? Be real about your f***ing self.”

Cardi further addressed the double standard in public perception, pointing out how rumors surrounding Offset’s actions often led to public ridicule of her, but the same people are now accusing her of staging a breakup for attention.

“When I leave, it’s a publicity stunt,” she said. “But when there’s rumors and y’all were laughing every single time, that wasn’t a publicity stunt, right?”

In addition to setting the record straight about her relationship, Cardi B gave fans a glimpse into the financial reality of raising two kids with Offset. She revealed the high costs of maintaining a stable life for their children, including paying for a nanny who costs $700 an hour and enrolling their kids in schools that cost $45,000 per year.

“You think I’m paying that alone? Absolutely not. I don’t want my baby daddy to go broke,” she said, referring to Offset’s role in contributing to their children’s well-being.

Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, Cardi made it clear that Offset remains involved in their children’s lives, and that their ability to co-parent effectively is what matters most.

“Guess who helps over here?” she continued. “One thing about it—you can leave, but you’re going to help with these kids.”

As is often the case when Cardi B speaks her mind, social media quickly exploded with reactions to her Instagram Live. Many fans praised her for being transparent about the struggles of co-parenting while being in the spotlight, while others empathized with her frustration over the constant public scrutiny.
