Cardi B and Offset Are Getting Divorced — Is There a Prenup?

After her hit 2017 song "Bodak Yellow" went viral, Cardi B became a household name (though many were first introduced to her when she appeared on Love and Hip Hop New York). Her relationship with Migos rapper Offset was soon on display for public consumption. The pair secretly wed in September of 2017 before welcoming daughter, Kulture, in 2018, and son, Wave, in 2021.

Despite briefly separating in 2018, Offset and Cardi soon reunited and it appeared as if their marriage was stronger than ever.

But in September 2020, court documents revealed that Cardi B had filed for divorce for the second time. While this wasn’t the first time Cardi sought to end her marriage to her rapper husband, she initially cited that there was no hope for reconciliation in her filing. They did reconcile, only for Cardi to file for divorce again at the end of July 2024, as confirmed by her rep to Page Six. So, the burning question on everyone’s mind is: Do Cardi B and Offset have a prenup?

Neither Cardi nor Offset has ever discussed if they got a prenuptial agreement before their impromptu bedroom wedding in September of 2017. However, because Cardi requested "an equitable division of all marital assets" in her 2020 filing, it looks like they may not have had one. Perhaps we'll have to wait and see what details emerge from her 2024 filing.

Just as she did in her 2020 divorce filing, Cardi B is reportedly seeking primary custody of her two kids, according to a source who spoke to Page Six. Amid the news of her recent divorce filing, Cardi took to Instagram on Aug 1, 2024, to announce that she is expecting a third child. It remains to be seen how this will affect the custody proceedings, but given that she is seeking custody of her two children, she might want the same for her new baby.

According to TMZ, Cardi B’s previous attempt to file for divorce was in Georgia on September 15, 2020. At the time, she requested that Offset pay child support, though it’s unclear how much she was seeking. The "Bartier Cardi" rapper also wanted her ex to cover her legal expenses.

The documents also noted that "there are no prospects for a reconciliation," leading many to wonder if Offset had been unfaithful again (his infidelity transgressions were the reason why the couple separated a few years before).

Known for being transparent with her fans, Cardi has spoken out in the past about having to forgive her husband for cheating. Offset also owned up to cheating in his music, and he pleaded for her to take him back online. While the two were consistent in posting on Instagram about their love for one another since they reconciled in January of 2019, Offset reportedly didn't change his ways.

A source close to the pair spoke to E! about why Cardi filed for divorce in 2020.

"The divorce is very shocking to everyone around them," the person told E! "They have been living together, parenting Kulture and seemed to be doing fine from an outsider's perspective."

Ultimately, Offset's past cheating history took a toll on Cardi.

"Cardi does not trust Offset," the source continued to E!.

 "She's really tried for the last two years and has tried to forgive him. It's been hard for her since the last cheating scandal, and there have been rumors of him being unfaithful again."

According to this insider, multiple women have come forward to detail their trysts with the Migos rapper. Cardi made the decision to file because she "wants to be a good example for her daughter and women out there."

Although they tried to keep the family together and welcomed Wave, underlying issues and the fact that they’ve “grown apart” led Cardi B to file for divorce again in 2024, according to a source who spoke to Page Six.

The source explained that their growing apart is "what drove her to this decision more than anything else." The source added, "It’s not something that happened overnight … They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger over time. It’s become unavoidable."

Neither Offset nor Cardi has publicly spoken out about the filing at this time.
