In an expletive-laden tirade, the rapper called out fans for discussing whether a reconciliation with her ex Offset has happened.
Cardi B has hit back at the rumours that spread across the internet over the holiday season about a possible reconciliation with her ex-partner, rapper Offset. The rumours started when a social media user allegedly saw the pair together in New York with media jumping at the opportunity for headlines about the pair being back together.
Cardi B confirmed that the pair had split in early December during an Instagram Live video and it seems that if it ain�t coming from Cardi, it ain�t a thing. And perhaps it�s fair� apparently there�s no such thing as simply catching up with an ex in the world of social media.
�Shut the f*ck up!� Cardi B�s post said. �Bout to delete my whole social media because y�all don�t shut the f*ck up. And it�s the same f*ckin� dumb�my own f*ckin� fan base. The last time I got dragged was because my f*ckin� fan base. I don�t see nobody talking sh*t but my own f*ckin� fan base.�
�Sh*t is f*cking annoying. For f*ckin� three days, y�all been doing the same sh*t. Did I say I was back together with somebody? I say that? Did ya heard that? Did I say it? Did he say it? No!�
So it�s clear that there is no reconciliation between Cardi B and Offset, but where does the line get drawn between someone�s personal life and their public persona?
When announcing the split, Cardi clearly was struggling with how to manage her fan base which is a whopping 169 million followers on Instagram alone. Referring to rumours lashing social media about a now-denied dalliance between Offset and Christean Rock, Cardi B posted:
�I don�t know if you guys been getting clues from me from Lives or my Stories, when I put some certain music or find my unfollowings. When it comes for today�s events and stuff, I don�t know if it�s � I don�t think it�s true. I don�t care to find out because I have been single for a minute now. But I have been afraid to like � not afraid. I just don�t know how, like, to tell the world. But I feel like today has been like a sign. I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don't know. I'm curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I'm excited.�
In a social media world where Twitter and Instagram are the new celebrity magazines, artists often struggle with living their lives 24/7 in the public eye.
Cardi B and Offset released a song together in July as the lead single from Offset�s second studio album Set It Off. The video ironically begins with a voice saying �There�s a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife, Cardi B� to which Offset replies �Let�s talk about some music�.
Indeed.
