Cardi B gave a rare remark about her seven-year marriage with her husband Offset after splitting up for a brief period in December 2023.

While gracing the cover of Rolling Stone’s June issue, the 31-year-old rapper did not hold back as she gave an update on the status of their relationship.

Despite saying she had been single ‘for a minute now’ during an Instagram Live in December, the mother-of-two, who has since been seen out on multiple date nights with her spouse, looked back on her first impression on him.

‘When I met Offset, he was super rich and I just got my f***ing first $200,000 in the bank,’ she recalled. ‘He never made me feel like I was little to him. He actually always used to tell me, “You a f***ing superstar, watch.'”

Cardi B gave a rare remark about her seven-year marriage with her husband Offset after briefly splitting up for a brief period in December 2023

His support was a breath of fresh air, compared to a previous partner, who she said would make her feel too loud, broke and skinny.

‘Once I cut him off and I stopped caring about what he [thought] about me, I started doing videos on Instagram. That’s how I got famous,’ the WAP hitmaker  remembered.

While discussing the challenges in her marriage, the performer admitted they both had their own shortcomings.

‘We have our own bad stuff,’ she said. ‘We’re from two different worlds. Sometimes I cannot be … not that I cannot be a wife. It’s just like, my career takes my life. You know what I’m saying? My career comes first, then my kids come second. And then sometimes I don’t realize that I’m putting so many things before my relationship.’

Still, the performer says she doesn’t ‘want to grow.’

‘I remember last year when we was going through our hard time. And it’s like, ‘Put your album out. You’re overstressing. When was the last time we went on a vacation?’ And it’s like, ‘I don’t got time to go on a vacation, because this comes first.’ This comes first and then my kids come second. The little things I have to take care of then comes. I sometimes feel like I do probably put my relationship last,’ Cardi stated.

When asked if she had made a decision about her relationship, the Grammy winner explained that she and Offset are ‘best friends.’

‘We think it through, because we do love each other. It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, “OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.” It’s not even about “How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend,”‘ she explained.

As for how she unwinds, Cardi revealed said she likes to spend her time off ‘at home.’

‘When I was off social media and nobody knew what I was doing, I was at peace a lot. But what am I going to do? Never post or never work again because that’s peace?’ she asked. ‘No. I don’t ever want my daughter or my son to ever give up on something because they can’t take the pressure of what people say about them. I got to set that example.’

She added that she still feels the need to ‘prove something’ to her kids and haters.

Cardi and Offset share daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, five, and son Wave Set Cephus, two.

Later, in the interview, she tells Rolling Stone that her ‘kids come first’ and ‘before anything’

While looking back at her first pregnancy, at the height of her career, Cardi said she was ‘really, really scared’ to let ‘everybody down.’

After giving birth just months ahead of the release of her album, Invasion of Privacy, she ended up backing out on her scheduled national tour.

‘My baby was so little — germs and planes and ear popping on a newborn?’ she asked. ‘Can you imagine a baby in a f**king tour bus?’

As for that first year of motherhood, the singer admitted it ‘f**ked’ her up.

Cardi said her first year of motherhood ‘f**ked’ her up and she had ‘postpartum everything’

‘Yo, postpartum is something you can’t even explain,’ she said.

When asked directly if she meant postpartum depression, Cardi said she had ‘postpartum everything.’

‘It becomes depression because it’s a drastic change,’ she said.

Despite the challenges, she said her ‘kids are the best decisions’ she’s ‘ever made.’
