US rapper Cardi B filed papers to divorce her husband Offset after three years of their on-and-off marriage. The ‘WAP’ singer, who is known for songs that celebrate money and female empowerment and for her playful, idiosyncratic lyrical style, filed divorce papers in family court in Fulton County, Georgia on September 15, 2020. The divorce comes only days after she shared a cryptic message on Instagram which read, Her heart finally told her to stop wasting her time. Cardi B and the Migos musician Offset married secretly in 2017 and had a daughter named Kulture in 2018. Reportedly, the 27-year-old rapper is seeking primary physical as well as legal custody of Kulture, who is the only daughter that the couple has. It\'s been further reported that Cardi has also requested child support from the \'Rick Fair Drip rapper but the amount is unclear. Though Cardi wants Offset to cover her legal fees, there is no indication yet if she is also seeking spousal support from him. The \'Please Me\' musician has also asked for an equitable division of all marital assets. Representatives of the artists did not return requests for comment. Cardi B had in June 2018 accepted that she had tied the knot with Offset secretly in September 2017. But the union proved rocky, with splits and rumors of infidelity. Cardi B said in 2018 that the couple had parted ways, only to reunite later. But the divorce filing comes at a high point in Cardi B’s career, with her single ‘WAP’ with Megan Thee Stallion topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks. A former stripper, New York-born Cardi B broke into the mainstream in 2017 with ‘Bodak Yellow’ and subsequent hits ‘I Like it’ and ‘Bartier Cardi.’ (All photos: Instagram)
