Cardi B took to X Spaces on Tuesday night (June 3) to candidly discuss the toll her marriage to Offset took on her mental and physical health. The Grammy-winning rapper revealed that years of emotional strain nearly pushed her to a breaking point.
Speaking honestly about their turbulent relationship, Cardi admitted that giving Offset multiple chances only worsened her mental state. “If I was still there [in that marriage], I was going to end up going to jail because I was going to end up killing him,” she confessed. “Seriously, with my own bare hands—because it was getting too much.”
Cardi revealed that the stress reached a devastating peak during her second pregnancy. After giving birth to their daughter Blossom, she learned the baby’s low birth weight was tied to her own declining health during the pregnancy.
“My baby came out 5 pounds because I couldn’t eat. I was so depressed from the lies and the constant drama,” she shared. “It was more than just cheating. It was the gaslighting, the nonstop dishonesty—it was really messing with my head.”
She also touched on how Offset’s actions began to affect her professionally. While they had supported each other’s careers, Cardi said the constant public scrutiny stemming from his behavior became damaging.
“We did help each other with our jobs. But it’s like—you’re helping me, but you’re destroying me at the same time,” she said. “You become a liability to my work, you gotta go.”
