It’s worth noting that Cardi B is not even ten months postpartum! She gave birth to her third child on September 7, 2024, just weeks after she left her husband Offset. She allowed Offset to come to the hospital after she gave birth and hold their daughter. But she didn’t relent – she was finally done with Offset, and their divorce is nowhere near being completed. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that Offset is slow-walking everything because he’s still so mad that Cardi is finally done with his sh-t. Well, funny story? Offset is now asking for spousal support from Cardi.
Offset’s not willing to give up his “Bad and Boujee” lifestyle … and, he’s asking the court to ensure his estranged wife, Cardi B, helps him maintain it. The rapper filed an amended divorce response earlier this month in which he’s now asking that Cardi pay him spousal support. He does not request a specific amount in the documents.
The rest of the requests look relatively unchanged … ’cause Offset’s still asking for joint custody of their children — and he wants Cardi’s place to serve as the primary residence for the kids. It’s the first news from the divorce proceedings in months … with the whole process dragging since Cardi first filed in August 2024.
My funny comment is… well, at least this is one way we can finally get Cardi to release another album. She’s gotta get back into the studio to make some money, damn. My unfunny comment is that Offset is a sleazeball who sees Cardi as his gravy train. Have some pride! In response to Offset asking for Cardi’s money, Cardi got on social media and detailed the costs of raising her three kids:
“Y’all want to know what’s the kids’ bills? Start adding,” Cardi, who shares Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 8 months, with her ex Offset, said while speaking on X Spaces on Friday, May 30.
“My kids got their own driver. The kids’ driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month,” she continued. “Kulture and wave gets tutoring four times a week. Kulture’s piano class — that’s $300 an hour, and she gets piano classes three times a week. I’m not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave’s boxing classes, but I pay for that, too.”
The Grammy-winner went on to accuse her ex of not pitching in financially, including the cost of Kulture’s private school tuition, which she claimed costs around $45,000. (Cardi filed for divorce in August 2024, one day before she confirmed her pregnancy with their third child.) The mom of three also broke down the cost of childcare — a large expense for most mothers in this country, including the famed rapper.
“My cousin babysits Wave and Kulture. She gets paid $3,000 a week,” the said, adding that her youngest daughter, Blossom, has her own nanny who is paid $500 per shift.
“This is not even including food,” she continued. “My kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 am to 5 pm that I pay for because people in my house don’t have time to cook.”
In total, Cardi claimed she spends at least $50,000 on her children’s food, housing, education and security.
“Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar pays over $50,000 just on her kids alone,” Cardi said, referring to herself by her real name. “I have to pay that bill. No help.”
Exactly! Cardi is the one supporting their three kids (and not Offset’s other children), why does she have to pay spousal support to her bum-ass ex? While I know Offset doesn’t have a lot going on at the moment, he was successful at one point, and he could be again? Like, Offset needs to get back in the recording booth too. Anyway, I’m glad Cardi is always coming with the literal receipts. You can hear Cardi’s whole eight-minute rant here, I’m not embedding it because it’s massively NSFW. Apparently, Offset has not seen the kids in months as well.

I never understood what she saw in him. I bet
He’s a deadbeat dad to his other kids too. I hope he doesnt get one dime from her!
Same. I was so disappointed when they broke up and someone from her team helped them get back together and then she went on to have kids of him big mistake, huge.
I still think about that too.
As women we are somehow surrounded by people who love us, who push us back into shi**y situations so we won’t be “alone”- as if alone is somehow worse than a crappy relationship.
He love bombed her. And then her people pushed her to get back together with his terrible ass. I feel bad for her since I think she hoped he learned, but he could not stop cheating. The way he talks about her now, he is just a bum who is now going to be around for the rest of her life cause of their children.
Cardi B and Halle Bailey fell for the same type of man, one who saw their light and immediately tried to destroy it. More men trap women with babies than the other way around, and I wish more women understood this.
Word. Also Halle’s ex, DDG got into fight at DreamCon. I need his fans to stop defending his terrible (swear word).
Who is DDG? Halle has 4 exes from super serious relationships, from what I can tell: ex-husband David Justice (no children), ex-husband Eric Benet (no children from that relationship; he had a child from a prior), ex partner Gabriel Aubry (Nahla’s dad) and ex-husband Olivier Martinez (her son’s dad). I’m sure she’s dated more than that, but those are the well known serious situations.
There is Halle Berry with the 4 exes and then there is Halle Bailey (the new Little Mermaid) who just had a baby with deadbeat like Offset.
@shockedandappalled: You are mixing up Halle Bailey and the famous, and older actress Halle Berry 🙂
Yea…she drug him for ABSOLUTE filth 🤬 and unfortunately it mirrored WAY TOO MANY WOMEN I have known who end up becoming single parents…but the thing I’ve notice is those Women were pretty much single parents even WHEN they were with their partners carrying the BULK of the emotional & physical labor and Cardi was the lynchpin for keeping his other children in the picture too…I hope those relationships weren’t 💔…but they USUALLY are because the Father ain’t 🤬
There is a very good reason for spousal support. But what Offset was doing while married is not it.
Where do I hand in my CV?? I can drive kids around for 10 grand a month 24/7, babysitting included.
I noticed that, too.
Me too! My kids were in day care and we paid $400 week each. Those ladies made Between $12-$15 per hour and they worked hard for that money because they loved those kids. I bet any one of them would quit in a minute to make $156k per year to watch 2 kids!
To be clear, This is no shade to Cardi B and no commentary on offsets request for spousal support. I’m sure her cousin watches the kids a lot more often than 7 to 7 like a daycare may offer with their travel schedules and offset being out of the house now. Plus, doesn’t she still live in New York which is much more expensive than other areas of the country? A nanny is a necessity for someone of Cardi’s position , I was just thinking about the difference between an on-call nanny and a daycare worker.
Offset, if you’re broke, just say that.
Well…the Georgia government did just say he owed $2M in back taxes…so…..
Ha!
I love she’s absolutely non-apologetic about what she spends on the children.
I get so tired of “we don’t have a nanny! We’re just like you!”
This is exactly how I imagined wealthy people to live lol
Drivers & chefs & no idea how much the kids activities cost.
Isn’t spousal support supposed to go to people who give up their career to become the primary caregiver to the children/run the household?
If yes, has Offset done either of those things?
I assume like most things in legal fights – this is just a bargaining chip. He (and his lawyers) likely will use this to bargain for a larger settlement.
She kept taking his trifling, cheating behind back and kept having babies with him. Sorry, I have no sympathy, she’s getting what she signed up for.
You don’t sound apologetic. But you do sound sorry.
Whoa those are some crazy fixed costs
For us normies, yes, but she’s a rich lady in NYC. It’s just going to be different.
I heard that Offset has 30 million dollars. If he owes 2 million in taxes, he can afford it. Offset once said that Cardi treated his three children with three different women like her own. She said, “There is no such thing as half-siblings.” One of the mothers praised her for including the out-of marriage kids in family events and his eldest child, a 12 year old boy that Offset never supported or saw, joined the family events and got support. Cardi said her daughter Kulture adores this brother. Cardi brings so much love, honesty and fairness to her whole extended family. Offset never deserved her. She is a stand-up, truthful and loving person. She deserves to get on with her life and I’m sure she will. I admire her tremendously.
She is going to go broke with the quickness, spending money like that. Have that cousin you pay $3,000 a week cook for your household.
