Cardi Bis setting the record straight after social media chatter alleged her public feud with husbandOffsetwas nothing more than a stunt to promote new music.
A month after the “Up” rapper, 30, and the Migos member, 31, arguedover cheating allegationsonline, the couple seemingly put that aside andannounced the releasetheir new collaborative single “Jealousy.”
Earlier this week, Offset released a teaser, where he parodiesJames Brown’s bizarreCNN interviewfrom 1988 and used the clip to address rumors about “drama” between him and his wife.
In response, the “Bodak Yellow” star addressed a fan on social media who wrote: “We said it was a stunt they pulled with their relationship and that’s exactly what is was. Lmfaoo.”
She added on Twitter: “THEY C—-IE WAS SO WET WHEN THE LIE WAS GOING AROUND NOW it’s a different narrative when we put it in the music ….OOOO IM POPPIN IT ON THIS SONG !!!!”
In her tweet, Cardi was referring toher defamation lawsuit against blogger Tasha K, which she filed in 2019 after the blogger made a series of negative claims about her. Ultimately, the court sided with Cardi.
Meanwhile, thepublic dust-up between Cardi and Offset in late Junestarted when Offset posted anInstagram Storyreading, “My wife f—ed a N—- on me gang yall n—- know how I come.”
“First of all, let me say, you can’t accuse me of all the things you know that you are guilty of. Sing it with me, y’all! And I see that it is easy for you to blame everything on me. Yes, honey!”
“Listen, don’t pay attention to that country man,” Cardi told listeners of Offset. “That motherf—er spiraling and thinking s—.”
She continued, “Come on, y’all. I’m f—ing Cardi B n—. I think sometimes motherf—ers forget I’m Cardi B. If I was giving this p—- to anybody, it would be out. I’m not just anybody.”
At the time, a source told PEOPLE that they were just having “a little quarrel”: “They’re very intense so go back and forth quite a bit. They’ll hash it out like they always do.”
A week later, the couple made their first public appearance in Paris as they were photographed holding hands and leaving a Balenciaga store together. They also celebrated their daughterKulture Kiari’s5th birthday. (Cardi and Offset also share 22-month-old son Wave Set.)
