Late Sunday night, when she hopped on Instagram Live and casually informed her fans she’s “been single for a minute now,” though she didn’t specify when she and Offset, her long-term, on-and-off partner, separated. Proving time is a flat circle and men are fundamentally incapable of change, Cardi’s now-ex and the father of her two children faces fresh cheating allegations (specifically alleging an affair with rapper ), which Offset on Monday afternoon. (“Real talk man you need some help!” he told rapper , who tweeted out the allegation.) Whatever did or didn’t happen, Cardi has confirmed their split, and even if you don’t believe her, her tells us everything we need to know. In the rapper’s first public outings as an openly single woman, she appears to have gotten a pixie cut—the sort of dramatic stylistic change that’s all too familiar to anyone who’s newly liberated from a toxic relationship.

But I’ve been afraid—not afraid—I just don’t know how to tell the world.” She emphasized, “It’s been like this for a minute now.” Cardi’s outlook overall seems pretty positive: “I want to start 2024 fresh, open… I’m curious for a new life, a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.” I’m now obligated to recite my go-to refrain whenever a very famous couple splits: Good for her! We are talking about a woman who, just months ago, hopped on yet another livestream, sang ’s “I Should Have Cheated,” and she “can’t fuck no regular degular shmegular.” And, I repeat: Look at that new haircut!!! Cardi is going to be just fine. Read more
