Cardi B is denying that she and husband Offset faked a cheating scandal to promote their new collaboration, «Jealousy.»
«We said it was a stunt they pulled with their relationship and that’s exactly what is was,» one fan alleged on Instagram.
Cardi quickly fired back, «It wasn’t no STUNT. Tasha K made [something] up and y’all was laughing about it and happy about it. Now that we putting it in the music, [it’s] a stunt … Naaa, baby, be mad at the one who started trolling wit it.»
Tasha K is a blogger who’s regularly criticized Cardi and spread rumors about her over the years.
Cardi even sued her for defamation and ultimately prevailed in court.
In late June, Offset alleged on Instagram that Cardi strayed from their marriage.
The «Bodak Yellow» rapper quickly took to Twitter to set the record straight, insisting that her hubby was «spiraling,» «going crazy» and «thinking s***» that wasn’t true.
She went on to insist that if she were, in fact, cheating on her hubby, the news «would be out» already because of her celebrity status. «Please, boy, stop acting stupid. … Stop playing,» she told Offset.
She also pointed out the irony considering his past indiscretions: «You can’t accuse me of all the things you know that you are guilty of. And I see that it is easy for you to blame everything on me,» she sang, quoting Keyshia Cole’s «I Should Have Cheated.»
A week later, they were photographed packing on the PDA while out and about in Paris for a Balenciaga fashion show.

«They’re very intense so go back and forth quite a bit. They’ll hash it out like they always do. … Offset and Cardi will work things out, but a part of me wants to get a taste of the single Cardi B again,» a source told People magazine following the recent drama
«She is a great wife, and an even better mom. But it would be nice to revisit the times when Cardi was out there hitting the clubs, and vacationing solo, with no husband,» the insider added.
As for Offset’s past indiscretions… In 2018, leaked videos showed the rapper in bed with several women.
In 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, but she and Offset eventually worked things out and reconciled.
