Cardi B and Offset’s Messy Divorce Drags On: Financial Demands, Denied Rumors, and Recent Drama

Atlanta, Georgia – December 15, 2025 – The high-profile divorce between rappers Cardi B (Belcalis Almánzar) and Offset (Kiari Cephus) continues to captivate fans and media alike, marked by financial disputes, public spats, and swirling rumors. More than a year after Cardi filed for divorce in July 2024, the proceedings remain unresolved, with both parties airing grievances amid ongoing court battles over assets, support, and custody.

The couple, who secretly married in September 2017, share three children: daughter Kulture Kiari (7), son Wave Set (4), and daughter Blossom Belle (1). Their relationship has been turbulent, featuring multiple reconciliations after infidelity allegations, including a brief 2020 divorce filing that was withdrawn. The current split, described by Cardi as “a long time coming,” has proven far more contentious.

Central to the dispute are financial demands. Reports from earlier in 2025 indicated Offset sought spousal support and an equitable split of assets, citing contributions to Cardi’s brand. Cardi, whose net worth is estimated significantly higher (around $80-130 million compared to Offset’s $26-28 million), has accused him of delaying the process by requesting coverage for taxes and other expenses. In a September 2025 livestream, she stated the divorce lingers because “somebody wants me to pay for their taxes,” implying Offset is “holding her hostage” financially.

Rumors escalated in November 2025 when gossip sites claimed Offset rejected a $10 million settlement offer from Cardi, allegedly demanding half of their combined fortune and stating he “built her brand.” Sources quoted him feeling “used” and deserving “his cut.” However, Offset swiftly denied these claims on social media, calling them “false rumors” and part of a “hate campaign.” No verified court documents support the $10 million figure or specific demands, and both parties have urged caution against unconfirmed reports.

Adding fuel to the fire, recent rumors of a physical brawl at a Miami strip club involving Offset, Cardi, and her new boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs, surfaced in early December 2025. Bloggers alleged a scuffle at Booby Trap On The River after Diggs reportedly tried to bar Offset’s entry. Cardi quickly shut down the speculation, denying any altercation and sharing videos of herself enjoying the night with Diggs, tossing cash and sharing affectionate moments.

Cardi has moved on publicly, confirming her relationship with Diggs in 2025 and announcing a pregnancy with him earlier in the year. She has expressed frustration at being tied to her past, telling interviewers she’s “legally separated” and ready for new chapters. Offset, reflecting on the marriage in interviews, admitted to “stepping out” and making “bad decisions as a man,” but emphasized personal growth.

Custody appears amicable, with both seeking joint arrangements for their children. Cardi has primary custody requests in her filing, but co-parenting has involved shared events like birthdays.

The case highlights broader issues in celebrity divorces: asset division in high-earning partnerships, spousal support in unequal income scenarios, and the impact of public scrutiny. Legal experts note delays often stem from complex finances, including business ventures and tax liabilities.

As 2025 ends, fans speculate on resolution timelines, with Cardi focusing on her music (including sophomore album Am I the Drama?) and motherhood. Offset continues solo projects post-Migos. Despite the acrimony, moments of mutual respect surface, with Cardi acknowledging their shared history.

The saga underscores that even in rap royalty, endings can be complicated. Proceedings continue privately, with hopes for a fair closure for all involved – especially the children.
