Rapper Cardi B announced that she and husband Offset of the Migos are no longer "together" in an Instagram posted early Wednesday morning.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar and Offset, born Kiari Cephus, have had an on-and-off relationship since 2017 and were secretly married in September 2017, which was revealed publicly when TMZ obtained a photo of their marriage license in June 2018.
The couple has one child, daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, who was born on July 10, 2018.
"So everybody been buggin' me and everything and you know I been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now, and we're really good friends and we're really good business partners and you know, he's always some one that I run to, to talk to and we got a lot of love for each other," Almánzar said in the video. "But things just ain't been working out between us for a long time, and it's nobody's fault. It's just I guess we grew out of love."
The "Money" rapper also noted that she is considering a divorce, although she hadn't decided as of Wednesday's post.
"But we're not together anymore. I don't know, it might take time to get a divorce," she said. "And I'm going to alway have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter's father."
Cephus commented on his wife's video saying, "Y'all won," regarding previous rumors of his alleged infidelity during their relationship.
"Every single day there's rumors about me and my dude. And it almost drives me crazy, because I start to believe them. I don't have no proof. I don't have receipts. But I just got to know my man," she said.
Cardi B exploded onto the mainstream hip-hop scene with her debut single "Bodak Yellow" in 2017, which was the No. 1 song in the United States, according to Billboard. Since then, the Bronx native has remained hip-hop's most popular female emcee with seven charted singles and 30 awards victories of 106 total nominations.
Offset is best known for his work as a member of the rap group, Migos, which has also dominated the mainstream hip-hop charts since their debut album, "Yung Rich Nation" was released in 2015. The Atlanta trio has had back-to-back No. 1 albums with "Culture (2017)" and "Culture 2 (2018)," as well as a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song in "Bad and Boujee."
