Cardi B is crystal clear about her relationship to Offset, even on set. CBS Mornings’s Gayle King quoted lyrics off Cardi’s first album in six years, Am I the Drama? to her on September 18, revealing insight into their tumultuous relationship. “Seven years I admit it wasn’t all bad / Skeletons in my closet too / As a wife I should have realized when you were hurt / But instead I put my music first,” she read from the song “Man of Your Word.” “But I really do wish you the best / Continue being a winner / If I had one wish, I wish you would have been a man of your word.”
While the lyrics seem remorseful, Cardi’s only regrets are for him. “I just wish he was a better person, but it is what it is,” she said, explaining the lyrics. “Be a better person for your kids.” The two rappers have three children together and are still sorting out a divorce after Cardi filed in July 2024. Am I the Drama? comes out on September 19.

Cardi also addressed whether or not she can co-parent with Offset moving forward. “I think not right now,” she said, shaking her head. “I don’t really have hate in my heart anymore. I think he has some type of hate in his heart. I don’t know how long that’s gonna take.” Cardi expressed that she wanted to move on with Offset but that she didn’t think he was able to yet. “We should be able to celebrate [our kids],” she said. “But it’s not about the kids. One thing I’m learning is that it’s not about the kids.” So, what’s it about? “I don’t know.”
