Cardi B has revealed that she is the sole provider for her three children with estranged husband, Offset.
The I Like It rapper, who filed for divorce from the Migos star in July 2024, made the revelation in a new interview with Billboard. A day after filing, she also announced her pregnancy with their third child.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, and Offset, born Kiari Cephus, share daughter Kulture, seven, son Wave, four, and baby Blossom, who turns one this week.
Reflecting on motherhood, Cardi described it as the experience that truly grounded her.
“I do everything for my kids. I’m the only provider and you know what? Ain’t no complaining about it,” she said.
“I love them so much and they ground me. Sometimes I be so exhausted and it’s not even about work, it’s just life. If you think when you get rich you’re going to stop working, you’re never going to stop working.”
While it remains unclear if the couple has reached a custody agreement, Cardi B emphasized that despite their children growing up in privilege, she instills the value of hard work in them.
“To this day, I still talk about how hard my mom worked. I had a very rough childhood, but my mom always made sure we ain’t go to no shelter. I want my kids to be like, ‘My mom made sure I had everything that I wanted,’” she explained.
In the same interview, Cardi B also spoke about her long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama?, which is set to drop on 19 September. She explained the delay, saying she wanted a complete project rather than rushing out songs.
“I always knew that I was going to drop a second album, I just didn’t have a project well put together,” she noted. “I’m very picky with my music.”
