Offset said he wants to end the public drama with his estranged wife, Cardi B, saying he "just want[s] all peace" for their family and urging unity for the sake of their children.
"We got kids to take care of," the rapper told TMZ on Tuesday, adding that he wanted "for us to win, everybody gotta win." He also said he will "for sure" support the release of Cardi B's forthcoming album, Am I the Drama, due Sept. 12, and suggested both artists could be contenders for Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys.
The comments come amid a widely publicized and contentious separation. Cardi B, the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker whose given name is Belcalis Almanzar, filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024, her representative confirmed at the time. The former couple, who married in 2017, share three children: daughter Kulture Kiari, 7; son Wave Set, 4; and daughter Blossom Belle, 1.
Cardi B has been less conciliatory in public remarks. In a Billboard cover story published Sept. 3, she said, "I tried," before abruptly adding, "Next question." In June she used the audio-chat platform X Spaces to criticize Offset for what she described as a year during which she was left handling the children's bills alone. In that post she outlined what she described as significant expenses, including 24-hour security, extracurricular activities, private schooling, a nanny and a personal chef who works from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A representative for Cardi B did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Page Six and TMZ provided the initial coverage of Offset's remarks.
An insider told Page Six that the pair had "grown apart" in the months leading up to the divorce filing and that the decision was driven more by that separation than a single incident. Another source said Offset was not surprised by the filing, adding that the two had been "trying to figure out what their future looks like for a while." Cardi B has been linked publicly to NFL player Stefon Diggs since the summer of 2024.
Cardi B recently prevailed in a high-profile civil case. She was not found liable in a $24 million civil lawsuit alleging she assaulted a security guard in 2018.
The split has raised practical questions about custody and finances. At the time of the filing, sources said Cardi B's primary objective was to obtain primary custody. Both artists remain active in their careers; Offset's public pledge of support for Cardi B's album signals an interest in minimizing conflict as their legal and personal matters continue.
Legal proceedings related to the divorce and any custody arrangements have not been made public in detail. Representatives for the parties have declined to provide extended comment beyond previous statements, and courts typically seal preliminary custody discussions. The couple's fans and the wider entertainment industry have continued to follow developments as both musicians pursue new projects while managing family responsibilities.
