Offset recently opened up about his marriage to fellow rapper Cardi B, admitting that he made “a lot of mistakes” and also cheated on her during their relationship.
“I was definitely not perfect in the situation,” Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, said on Tuesday’s episode of Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, per PEOPLE. “I made a lot of mistakes. [There’s] a lot of things that I did wrong. She did things that was wrong.”
As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, Cardi B, 32, and Offset, 33, became romantically involved in 2017, before getting engaged and secretly marrying that same year. The former couple, who had a tumultuous relationship, share two daughters and a son.
Cardi filed for her first divorce in September 2020 over allegations of Offset cheating on her. The former couple, however, later patched things up and called off their divorce. Cardi then filed for her second divorce in July 2024.
Offset touched on their divorce proceedings, telling Palmer that their legal case has not been easy to handle because of the publicity “on the front screen.” After filing for her second divorce, Cardi initially clapped back at critics who suggested that Offset wasn’t in their kids’ lives and he was a deadbeat dad. But their relationship later turned sour as they started trading jabs on social media.
Palmer also asked Offset if there was something that he wished he could have handled in an alternative way. “I should’ve respected her way more, you know what I mean? I made bad decisions as a man, like stepping out,” the Bad and Boujee rapper answered.
Offset further said that he ultimately had to come to terms with Cardi’s second divorce filing and let things go.
“That’s why when she left, I had to take that on the chin,” he told Palmer. “I was being selfish, you know what I mean? And I can say that as a man. I’m a grown man.”
Despite their previous public spats, Offset told Palmer that he and Cardi have “kids to live for,” PEOPLE reported. He, however, registered his displeasure with the narrative regarding him in the wake of their split.
“The narrative be nasty sometimes on me and it don’t be that,” said Offset.
