Cardi B Reveals Why She Hasn’t Officially Divorced Offset: “He Wants to Turn Me Into a Personal ATM”
Cardi B has never been one to hold back her truth, and her recent Twitter Space session proved it once again. The Grammy-winning rapper opened up about why, despite announcing her split from Offset, the divorce papers are still not finalized. Her explanation shocked fans: according to Cardi, Offset’s alleged financial demands have kept her tied to a marriage she no longer wants.
In her own words, Cardi explained: “I’m still tied to that marriage on contract because this man wants me to pay all his taxes, give him millions of dollars and even one of my properties. Nah, I have to fight for that. I can’t stop living my life because someone wants to keep me hostage.”
This raw and candid admission paints a picture of a woman determined not to be taken advantage of. Cardi’s framing of the situation — calling Offset’s expectations an attempt to turn her into his “personal ATM and retirement plan” — resonated deeply with fans who see her as a figure of independence and empowerment.
The reaction online was immediate. Supporters rallied behind Cardi, praising her strength and transparency in addressing such a sensitive issue publicly. Many pointed out that her situation highlights the harsh realities women often face in high-profile relationships, where personal success can be unfairly used against them.
Cardi’s comments also shed light on the complexity of high-stakes divorces involving celebrities, where not only emotions but also massive assets, properties, and financial contracts come into play. What for some is a private matter behind closed doors, for Cardi unfolds under the glare of global scrutiny.
Yet despite the legal battle still hanging over her, Cardi made it clear she refuses to let the fight define her life. She continues to thrive professionally, making music, collaborating with top brands, and embracing motherhood, all while standing firm in her determination not to be financially exploited.
For Cardi B, this chapter is about more than just the end of a marriage — it’s about protecting her worth, her freedom, and her future. And once again, she proves that her greatest strength isn’t just in her music, but in her unshakable resolve to live life on her own terms.
