Offset Subtly Addresses His Split From Cardi B In The ‘Swing My Way’ Video Starring Anok Yai

by

Offset’s back in the booth. After previously teasing its release, today (December 13) Offset dropped his new single “Swing My Way” produced by Turbo.

On the track, Offset effortlessly jumps back into his signature flow heard throughout Set It Off. “Baby, I’m not one of them / I’m really one of them ones / I’m really havin’ my motion,” raps Offset.

But things aren’t business as usual. In the official video, which stars model Anok Yai, Offset uses the visual opening to subtly address the elephant in the room — his rocky split from estranged wife Cardi B.

A woman’s voice yelling, “F*ck Offset. Yeah, I hate you. I can’t f*cking stand you. I don’t even care anymore,” kicks off the video. After which, another automated voice responds with: “Call me, I love you.”

The rants seem to portray Cardi B and Offset’s strained love story. Just last year on Offset’s birthday (which is tomorrow), Cardi B took to her social media pages to blast him, dubbing him a “b*tch ass n****.” For months following the Cardi B’s online rants only intensified. At one point, the two even engaged in a vicious back-and-forth where several allegations were hurled.

Cardi B has reached her breaking point. Today (December 10), the “WAP” rapper took to Instagram Live (viewable here) to air out her grievance with the Child Protective Services (CPS).

Back in October, Cardi B revealed that she was swatted by users online. As part of a gross prank, they contacted the agency to allege that Cardi B and her estranged husband Offset were abusing their three children. According to Cardi B, the agency is still investigating the “bogus” claims. But Cardi B said the caseworkers are going out-of-bounds with their “harassing” actions.

“You keep harassing me and there are actual kids about there that are being abused,” she said. “None of my kids have ever got touched. None of my kids ever got a little pow-pow, a little whooping, a little nothing. None of that.”

She went on to shed light on the recent encounter with the caseworker, saying: “A month later, because I didn’t give them my kids’ information, now they want to fake come back to my house again, interview my kids, look at my kids. Why are you harassing me for my daughter’s information? What that has to do with anything? My daughter doesn’t even have a social security because I don’t want nobody knowing her name, her information, anything.”

Cardi B vowed to use the full force of her legal team to fight the matter until she’s vindicated.

Cardi B Threatens To Dox CPS Worker For Allegedly Harassing Her

Cardi B made her name as a rapper, but controversy has become her brand in the 2020s. These days, the “WAP” artist is better known for sparking feuds online or beefing with Offset, the father of her children. The controversy continued, full speed ahead, on Tuesday. Cardi B took to Instagram Live to air out her frustration with Child Protective Services. She claimed the organization has been harassing her and her children for the last several months. She even threatened to dox a worker’s personal info.

Cardi B did not simply air out her grievances to fans, though. The rapper decided to let them in on her frustrations, firsthand. She recorded herself calling Child Protective Services and complaining to the organization. Cardi slammed CPS for investigating her every time somebody online makes an unfounded allegation or an anonymous call. “Tomorrow somebody else could make an allegation,” she noted. “Are you guys gonna come tomorrow? Two months from now, are you guys gonna come?” She kept her cool, somewhat, during the call, but Cardi B let loose soon after.

Cardi B Assured Fans That Her Children Are Safe

“You keep harassing me,” she yelled into the camera. “When there’s actual kids out there that’s getting abused.” The rapper then asserted that none of her children have ever been subjected to physical or verbal abuse. “None of my kids had ever got touched,” she said. “None of that sh*t. My kids live like kings and f*cking queens.” Cardi B’s anger seemingly grew stronger as her rant progressed. She then implied that the reason she is being harassed by Child Protective Services is because of her fame. The rapper slammed the women she talked to on the phone, claiming she wanted to be the “talk of the office” due to her communication with a celebrity.

Cardi B has been contending with CPS drama since October. She has clearly reached the end of her rope, and stressed as much in her rant. She told followers that she would be more than willing to pay her lawyer to make this CPS issue disappear. “If I have to pay $30K today to my lawyer,” the rapper said. “So you could f*ck off, I will.” Cardi B closed out her message by threatening to release personal information about the CPS worker online if the alleged harassment doesn’t stop. She is definitely not playing around.

Cardi B Obliterates Former Producer Who Claims She Didn’t Put Him On

Cardi B’s spending habits have the subject of much debate. The rapper claims she spends $3 million per month, which shocked everyone who wasn’t a billionaire. She also claimed that she got an offer to go on tour for $65 million. She’s not hurting for money, even though it’s been years since Cardi B gave fans an album. Cardi B’s flexing has garnered the attention of her former producer, however. SwiftOnDemand reached out to the rapper via Instagram, and derided her for failing to boost his career. She did not take kindly to being blamed.

SwiftOnDemand shared an article about Cardi B’s spending and detailed his disappointment. “When I see stuff like this,” he wrote. “All I can remember is you saying ‘Swift don’t worry I got you.’” He went on to allege that Cardi got upset with him after he reminded her to not “forget” about him. Well, he thinks he was forgotten. Cardi B, on the other hand, doesn’t think its her problem. She chastised SwiftOnDemand for believing everything he reads online. She also stated that she has three kids to take care of, and that her family is her number one priority.

Cardi B Claims She Owes Her Producer “Nothing”

That was the short of it. Cardi posted a lengthy written response. She explained that she has little to no control over the music she made with SwiftOnDemand. “I told you millions of times I got no control over on the mixtapes that you worked on,” the rapper stated. “Because it’s under our old manager label, not Atlantic.” Cardi B also took SwiftOnDemand to task for counting her money instead of focusing on new music and making his own. “A grown a*s man counting my pockets,” she added. “I got three kids and I take care of my family… I don’t owe you nothing!.”

SwiftOnDemand responded back with a bulleted list. He addressed each of Cardi B’s claims, noting that he has three kids of his own. The producer also claimed that he isn’t worried about the mixtape royalties, he wanted the credibility that came with working with someone as big as Cardi. He also cast doubt on Cardi’s ability to write and produce songs alone. SwiftOnDemand questioned how she was able to do it all by herself, since she has not felt the need to help him out in return.

Cardi B Refutes Claims She’s ‘Surviving’ On Brand Deals By Showing Off A Multi-Million-Dollar Tour Offer

Scroll through Cardi B’s Instagram page and you’ll see a handful of posts in partnership with brands. Here’s one with Kahlua, for instance, and here’s one with Airbnb. Some folks have decided to try using that against her, but Cardi isn’t here for it.

In an X Spaces session on December 3 (as HipHopDX notes), some people were claiming that it’s Cardi’s numerous brand deals that are keeping her afloat financially. In response, Cardi asked, “People say that I’m surviving off Shein deals and brand deals?”

Then, she shared a screenshot of a supposed September text conversation with an agent, in which the agent breaks down a tour offer that’s worth multiple millions of dollars, including seven festival appearances that would pay $1.5 million each, and that she would get half of the money upfront.

Cardi said, “I want to let y’all know that I could wake up tomorrow and sign a contract and I would have half of $65 million, or half of $70 million, rather.”

Meanwhile, Cardi appears to be revving up for a big 2025. During a recent Instagram livestream, she said, “I’m letting you know right motherf*cking now — every n**** or b*tch that motherf*cking played with me in 2024, I’m letting you know right now, y’all better apologize to me today. […] Everybody always say this, every New Year’s, but this time, I’m standing on that sh*t. Next year, as soon as 12 a.m. hit, I’m hitting the reset button.”

Cardi B Trash Talks Fans After They Criticize Old Song Snippet

by

Cardi B and Lauryn Hill both hit pay dirt with their debut albums. Different as their styles may be, both earned critical acclaim and Grammy wins for their fusions of pop and rap. Cardi even sampled Hill on the smash single “Be Careful.” Lauryn Hill, of course, never blessed fans with an official second album. Cardi B, oddly enough, is following the same trajectory. It’s been six years since Invasion of Privacy made Cardi a household name, and fans are still waiting on new music. It doesn’t seem to be going well.

A song snippet from 2019 made the rounds online Tuesday. The general response to the song was, uh, not positive. Fans piled on Cardi’s flow and the beat, claiming it was beneath the standard that she set on her 2018 debut. Cardi B did not respond positively to the criticism. She called detractors “dumb, stupid and overly opinionated” during an Instagram Live session. The rapper was clear about the snippet being from 2019. “Sometimes I listened to scrapped songs, or old songs [because] there might be two or three lines and I can use it on a new song,” she explained.

Cardi B Called Her Haters “Dumb” And “Slow”

Cardi B’s frustration spilled over onto Twitter. She claimed that the “overly opinionated” fans were the reason why she hasn’t released a second album yet. “This y y’all don’t get sh*t,” she wrote. This is a far cry from the optimistic Cardi B who took to Instagram Live in November. She claimed that she will bless fans with new music in 2015, and make moves on the business end of things as well. “My album will be out, my secret businesses will be out,” she asserted. “I can’t tell y’all what I’m working on,” holding her index finger to her mouth, [and] hopefully next year I get me a lil’ boyfriend.”

Many industry analysts have chastised Cardi B for repeatedly delaying her album. Joe Budden is one of the most notable examples. The podcast host took to social media shortly after Cardi’s aforementioned Instagram Live. “Wonder if I’ll get an apology for saying [blank] wasn’t dropping an album this year lol,” he tweeted. He didn’t name names, but many fans assumed he was talking about the “Bodak Yellow” star based on the timing.

Cardi B Plans To Hit The ‘Reset Button’ In 2025, And Urges Doubters To ‘Apologize’ Before It Is Too Late

With the holidays quickly approaching, you can consider 2024 a done deal. This suggests Cardi B’s promise to drop her highly anticipated sophomore album will go unfulfilled. But, the “Enough (Miami)” rapper has a plan to make up for it.

Yesterday (November 24) during an Instagram livestream (viewable here), Cardi B declared that she is hitting the “reset button” for 2025.

“I’m letting you know right motherf*ckers now—every n**** or b*tch that motherf*cker that played with me in 2024, I’m letting you know right now y’all better apologize to me today,” she said. “Everybody always say this, every New Years, but this time I’m standing on it that sh*t. Next year as soon as 12:00 a.m. hit, I’m hitting the reset button.”

She continued her speech, doubling down with more enthusiasm, saying: “You hear me? I’m hitting the f*cking reset button. I’m whipping everybody’s ass with a wet belt. I’m sick of f*cking everybody.”

Cardi B didn’t outline her plans. But that’s probably for the best considering she was able to deliver on many promises. Still, fans hope that in addition to Cardi B’s overdue full-length album, she will travel the world for a headlining tour. As not to jink it, Bardi gang should keep their expectation low.

Cardi B ‘Came Out Of Pocket’ For Her Kamala Harris Rally Appearance: ‘I Didn’t Get Paid A Dollar’

Self-declared history and politics buff Cardi B went back on her vow to stay uninvolved in this year’s election, endorsing Kamala Harris after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Although her preferred candidate didn’t win (and the future of the country looks undoubtedly bleak as a result), Cardi hasn’t backed down from online criticism of her endorsement, shutting down right wing grifter Candace Owens, who insinuated that her only reason for making the campaign rally appearance was getting paid by the Harris-Walz campaign.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” she shot back via Twitter (never calling it “X,” which is a dumb, horrid name). “I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be. Like please girl you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE.”

It isn’t the first time Cardi has clapped back at Owens. In May, she shot down Owens’ disingenuous call to ban porn — although, she later realized that the engagement was only serving the wannabe commentator’s ends and deleted her responses. She’d likely be better served using that time to work on that long-awaited second album, which even she acknowledges has taken forever to finish.

Cardi B Is Amused By A Fan’s Fake Cover Art Poking Fun At How Long Her Second Album Is Taking

It’s no secret that Cardi B has… shall we say… taken her time on recording a follow-up to her Grammy-winning, platinum-selling, chart-topping debut album. And no wonder; Invasion Of Privacy has set the bar so high that it’s looking impossible to top, and knowing how vicious Ms. Ma’am’s stans are, anything less would be perceived — at least online — as abject failure.

Still, Cardi’s reticence to take the leap and risk falling off has prompted some creative responses from her own fans, including one that amused her so much, she couldn’t help but share. “POV: it’s 2054 and Cardi B has finally released her sophomore album…” wrote the fan on Twitter, along with a jokey cover for the prospective album. Titled Defamation Of Character, the cover art features a closeup of an aged Cardi, complete with silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking like she just lost at Bingo at the retirement home.

Cardi was cool with the post, retweeting it to her fans with her reaction: “Lmaaaooooooooooooooo.” That’s a lot of “o”s.

Cardi’s been promising the album would be coming soon for most of the year, but has yet to share anything resembling her own album cover or a fixed release date as yet (although, Defamation Of Character would be an awesome title in keeping with both the theme of her debut and the last five years of her career online). Her last update was October 18, when she promised that it’s coming “really, really soon” now that she’s no longer pregnant after having her third child.

Plies Is Reportedly Suing Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, And GloRilla For Alleged Copyright Infringement

Lawsuits pop up just about every day in the music world, it seems, and now “Hawk Tuah” rapper Plies has added to the pile: TMZ reports Plies is suing Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, and Soulja Boy, naming them in a lawsuit that alleges copyright infringement.

Per legal documents obtained by TMZ, Plies alleges elements of his 2008 song “Me & My Goons” were used in Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag,” as well as GloRilla and Megan’s “Wanna Be” (and the Cardi-featuring remix). Named as defendants in the suit are Megan’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions, Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group, and Interscope.

“Wanna Be” producer LilJuMadeDaBeat has since chimed in on the lawsuit. His position, as HotNewHipHop notes, is that “Wanna Be” credits its sample to Big E, producer of 2006’s “My Dougie.” He explained, “My Dougie came it in 2006, Me & My Goons came it in 2008. Big E the producer of ‘My Dougie’ is credited on Wanna B. For the Record Pretty Boy Swag is a remake of My Dougie as well. Soulja Boy is on the My Dougie Remix. Me & My Goons literally not even the single for that Plies album.”

So far, nobody else has publicly acknowledged the lawsuit.
