It’s no secret that Cardi B and her husband Offset are one of rap’s more touchy-feely couples — and that’s kind of an understatement. In reality, the couple can’t keep their hands off of each other, putting on public displays of affection anywhere the mood strikes. That even includes the Grammys red carpet and Super Bowl commercial for their joint meal at McDonald’s.
So of course, Valentine’s Day is more or less their unofficial holiday. And while Cardi’s timeline for the majority of the day was made up of promotional retweets for the aforementioned McDonald’s meal, she made sure to get a few fit pics up ahead of the holiday with a special request for her hubby. “Excuse me …..can I sit on top of you?” she captioned the photos, which captured her arrival at their hotel, the spectacular view, and her glistening jewelry.
Rapping is obviously what she does for a living, but as she’s risen to the top of the industry, Cardi B has also made a name for herself as a fashionista. Over the years we’ve seen the mother of two sitting front row at various fashion week events around the world. Additionally, she’s stepped out in dramatic designer style for the Met Gala on more than one occasion.
In theory, the focus of Super Bowl weekend should be football. Instead, many of those who flew to Glendale, Arizona to watch the game were actually there to take in Rihanna’s triumphant return to the stage. Adele and H.E.R. both spoke candidly about their excitement for the singer’s Halftime show. Elsewhere, social media hasn’t been able to stop raving about it since.
Cardi B was undeniably eager to see the Bad Gal do her thing. As it turns out, she nearly missed the concert. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, the “Hot Shit” hitmaker awkwardly runs through a parking lot wearing sky-high heels. As she desperately tries to not miss out on the main event, her husband, Offset, slowly jogged beside her. Due to their hilarious antics, the couple was heavily clowned on social media.
As the trolls continue to poke fun, the New Yorker remains unbothered. On Monday (February 13) she dropped off a photo dump of her Super Bowl outfit. Of course, she flaunts the platform shoes that famously slowed her down. “Excuse me… Can I sit on top of you?” she wrote in the caption of her post, earning her over two million double taps.
Besides her bright pink heels, Cardi also donned a pair of tight, dark blue jeans and a navy Chanel sweater. She carried her essentials in a quilted pink bag to match her shoes. Things were tied together with a sleek pair of sunglasses shading her eyes. Instead of her usual long black hair, the Hustlers actress switched things up with a blonde curly ‘do.
Later on in the post, the 30-year-old showed off another of her Super Bowl outfits. This one also saw her looking pretty in pink, sporting a curve-hugging Chanel mini-dress. Accessories include a small purse in the same colour and a silver sparkly Vivienne Westwood dogbone necklace. Additionally, her dark hair made a return for the iconic fashion moment. She certainly didn’t hesitate to flaunt her endless inches while strutting down the hotel hallway.
Elsewhere in Arizona, Cardi B performed at the same venue as Drake on Friday night. When Saturday rolled around, she recruited Offset to join her as they prepared the audience for Sunday’s events. Check out photos from the couple’s concert below, let us know which of the rap starlet’s favourite looks was in the comments.

The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event of the year in the United States. Pair that with the fact that Rihanna performed the halftime show this year, and it must have been a real challenge to actually get to the stadium for those lucky/rich enough to have tickets. It seems like that was the case for Cardi B and Offset, as the two ended up running in an effort to not miss Rihanna’s performance.
In a video shared on Cardi’s Instagram Story last night (February 12), Cardi and Offset are seen running to get into the stadium. It wasn’t a particularly fast run, though, as Cardi was wearing high heels that made speedy travel a challenge.
LMFAO Cardi B and Offset running to make sure they don’t miss Rihanna’s halftime performance is sending meeeeee #SuperBowlpic.twitter.com/loczVZx98h
It appears their effort paid off, though, as it was apparently a really close call for them: In another Instagram Story video, Cardi films the start of the performance and exclaims, “We just made it on time.” She also offered some general excitement and cheering in other clips.
That wasn’t Cardi and Offset’s only Super Bowl presence this year. The pair just launched their own meal at McDonald’s and had a commercial for it during the game. The menu item is named after them and includes a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
If anyone had a wild Super Bowl weekend, it was obviously Cardi B. The New Yorker began her trip to Arizona by performing on Friday (February 10) evening at the same venue as Drake. The Canadian markedly kept the crowd’s energy high with a recreation of the show he put on at the Apollo Theatre. For her part, Bardi opted to give her audience some of her discography’s greatest hits.
By Saturday (February 11), the excitement for the NFL Championship game was undoubtedly running rampant. More and more celebrities and football lovers continued to pour into the city. Some of them even saw the mother of two performing alongside her husband, Offset. According to Daily Mail, they put on an impressive show at Wild Horse Pass Resort and Casino’s Hall Of Fame Party.
As per usual, the “Lick” collaborators were dressed to the nines. Cardi’s curvy figure looked immaculate in a shiny metallic dress. Her long jet-black hair was beautifully flowing behind her while she performed. The Migos rapper sported a black fit for the event, also layering plenty of flashy silver chains across his chest to flaunt his wealth.
They may have been on the clock during their set, but that didn’t stop the Hustlers actress and Offset from sharing some PDA. At one point, cameras caught them sharing a sweet smooch, though that’s nothing compared to other affectionate antics. While they were talking the pre-Grammys red carpet earlier this month, Cardi and her man made out as paparazzi cameras flashed away.

She was obviously in her bag for most of Super Bowl weekend, but when game day came, the former stripper had her mind on one thing – Rihanna. In a video that’s circulating online, the 30-year-old does her best to sprint through a parking lot in a pair of bright pink heels. The reason for her panicked run? Ensuring that she didn’t miss the Bad Gal’s performance, of course.
The clip was originally uploaded to Cardi’s Instagram Story. It also sees Offset shuffling alongside her while she struggles to keep up. “Trying to make it [to] the halftime show,” she wrote over the comical upload. In the hours since Twitter users have been cracking endless jokes about the couple’s relatable behaviour.
“My God, Cardi looks tf good!!!! But this is just so hilarious… Cardi and Offset was NOT missing the Rihanna concert,” one person joked. “Damn Offset just pick her up. You slowly jogging like you wearing the shoes too,” another troll critiqued the father of five. Scroll further for more reactions, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

So this feels really full circle considering your first date was at the Super Bowl in 2017. Tell me about the moment you got the call to be part of this Super Bowl ad—the thoughts that came to mind and what this means to you.
Cardi B: I mean it almost makes me feel like, ‘damn did McDonald’s plan this?’ They did their research on us or something because it’s like, okay, if it was just to do a Valentine’s Day meal thing, okay, we get it. But for them to actually air a commercial during the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl, to us it really means something. Can we say that it’s a tradition? I guess the Super Bowl is a tradition for us now. I’m not really into football, but because the Super Bowl was our first date, every single time that the Super Bowl comes around I get a little bit emotional… and [now] we have this major amazing commercial with McDonald’s, it’s like damn they probably know how we feel and [it’s] just great, everything’s great.
Offset: I love football. That’s my favorite sport. So I was super excited to work with McDonald’s and also I did a little thing with McDonald’s in New York. We Cactus Plant Flea market and I felt like I built a great relationship with them when I met them the first time. And for them to call back and then be able to work with them to do a big commercial… this is a great opportunity, because I always loved McDonald’s growing up too.
Cardi B: Growing up? You like McDonald’s now [laughs].
Offset: I know.
Cardi B: Oh my god. He loves him some damn McDonald’s.

Similarly to you, Cardi, the Super Bowl becomes a concert of sorts for people who aren’t football fans; you guys’ first date was Lady Gaga’s Halftime Show. This year, it’s Rihanna’s. Are you guys going? What are you most excited for from the halftime show?
Cardi B: I’m excited of course, to see my commercial, and I’m also excited to see Rihanna perform because…
Offset: Very big moment for hip hop.
Cardi B: Yep.
Offset: Just for our culture, not hip hop, sorry. Very big moment for our culture. For her to be the headliner of the Super Bowl. She deserve that… uplift the queen.
Cardi B: And for [this] to be a big comeback for her and [for us] to be able to witness it. I’m just so excited. Especially as fans; meeting her a couple of times, she’s the best. She’s the sweetest, most nicest, humble person and we can’t wait to support her.
Love that. OK, so you guys seldom take interviews together. You’re obviously married but you’ve also referred to yourselves as business partners in the past. I’m curious about whether that statement still stands today. Do you two believe in keeping your professional and personal lives separate as a couple? Not only when it comes to you two, but also generally for the regular degular couples out there.
Cardi B: I actually like it and I’m very happy because I feel like Offset saved my life from bad contracts [laughs]. Well everybody just says that I’m very nice and every single time I go to meetings I’m really nice and everybody just sometimes could think that they could get over you because you’re just a very nice person. And Offset is a nice person but he gets straight to the point. He’s very good at negotiating and he’s just always there for me…
“We got a legacy to leave behind.”
Offset: For me, I love working with my wife because we got a legacy to leave behind with our kids. So [with] our business moves, I just want to make sure I protect the business for me and her because we got to make sure our kids are situated later on down the line. We can’t just be good right now and we think about the future instead of the present when it comes to business. So we make sure we putting ourselves and aligning ourselves up with brands that match our vibe.
Yes. And I’m sure you guys have been tapped a bunch, why was this, from that business mindset, a good opportunity for you guys?
Cardi B: I mean it’s a personal connection. First things first, we actually really do eat McDonald’s. That’s the thing. Everybody want to front now that they vegan and all that shit. [But], we really do eat McDonald’s. McDonald’s really do be having our fucking backs. Let’s be serious. Every single time we travel to different states, every single time after one or two o’clock, who’s open? Who got your back? Who got your back? Yeah. McDonald’s, bitch… Every single time you go out the country… I’m not a picky eater, but Offset, he’s a very picky eater. And sometimes I’m a picky eater when I’m outside the country because goddamn it. And it’s like who’s always there? Who’s there for you? Yeah, that’s right, motherf****rs. McDonald’s right there for you. Yeah, yeah. Ba da ba ba ba.
And I cannot wait because to your kids, you’re not as cool to them. You’re just their parents to them. So I’m definitely taking my [children] to McDonald’s and when [they] see us there, [they’re] going to be like, “Oh my god, that’s my mom. That’s my mom!”
Beautiful.
Cardi B:
All our kids, they’re going to be like, “Yep, that’s our parents right there. Yeah, that’s right.”

Speaking of kids, y’all are full adults now for real, husband and wife, parents to two children. How do you support each other? What does support look like in partnership?
Offset: First and foremost, we very hard on each other when it comes to music and our business. I’m glad I got her because sometimes I don’t want to say you get comfortable but you get used to doing the same things or might don’t want to go outside of things that you wouldn’t do. Especially with me with socials and her experience with socials always helps me with my career. It’s just always been supportive but not being supportive of everything. Sometimes we got to hear [that] this record [is] not good or the idea is probably not the best idea, [and] you should do it like this. So we just always bouncing through each other’s energy and go off of what we think is possible. We always go through each other and ask questions about whatever it may be.
“We are each other’s hardest critics.”
CardiB: Yeah, I feel like we just support each other in every single way; we are each other’s hardest critics at that. We are going to keep it real with each other. Sometimes you might be stuck in your ways and we will tell each other different things. Sometimes I would give him criticism about something and he would give me criticism about something and it’s like we just be like, “What? Whatever.” But then it’s like we actually take it as consideration and I don’t know, it always end up working out every single time that we criticize each other hard, we go and change it and it’s a workout and we always have a good, I told you so moment.
Offset: For me it’s outfits for her every time. It’s like, “Wear this, wear that, wear this.” “No, I don’t want to wear that.” But then she wears it everywhere and I think for her it’s like me posting more often to keep my name in the talks. Because I go missing for eight days on Instagram, and she’ll be like, “You need to go take pictures of your outfit and put it on there.” And then I don’t want to do it. But then when I do it just be like…
Cardi B: People love it.
Let’s talk music. Cardi, you’ve done such a great job of hopping on singles and supporting rising women rappers over the last few years. But your last full project was a while ago now; what are you working on with in terms of personal music?
Cardi B: It’s coming. We both coming.
Great. Offset, what are you looking forward to in terms of music you’re working on?
Offset: I’m just looking forward to the fans hearing this music I’ve been making because I [used] a lot of new producers, I did a lot of new sounds, there was some new artists. So I’m just excited for the new chapter.
“We do have projects to put out this year and our careers [are] very important to us.”
Cardi, is there anything else you want to say about your new chapter?
Cardi B: I’m excited for it. I’m coming hard.
Can’t wait. So, I want to know, since this is all about love, what does love mean to each of you? By definition as an act, as a practice.
Offset: Hard to explain that.
Cardi B: Yeah, it’s kind of hard to explain that. There’s just a lot of levels of love. First and first you have to be attractive to each other. You know what I’m saying? You have to feel like every single time that you see your man, you want to jump on him. Every single time that you see your girl, you want to grab her, you want to grab her, you want to kiss her. That’s a real important part of love. The connection, the… I guess sexual connection, the attraction. And then of course it’s like… I don’t know, I feel like me and Offset have this great friendship. He’s really my best friend. We’re each other’s best friends. I feel, I really feel like my man will do anything for me and I’ll do anything too.
“I mean we could brag about a lot of things, but I mean if we could really just keep it simple… we set the trends.”
Offset: Love is in the air. Love to me is hearing me out as a man. You know what I’m saying? As a man, hearing me out, letting me lead but no matter the circumstances and thinking about how I feel about something. Because my girl do think about how I feel. A lot of these women out here with me, especially as a Black man, we always be closed and caged and I feel like love is finding somebody that you can open up to as a man and showing a little bit of vulnerability and be able to speak to them about things you want to speak to maybe the next man or female about, and I get that from her. So love is accepting me for who I am and accepting the follow and allow me to lead as the king, as I am.
The king who found his queen. Ok so, I typically start with this question, but it’s been a crazy time and there’s no right or wrong way to have a conversation, so I’ll ask now – how are you guys doing?
Cardi B: Us?
Yes.
Offset: We push through this day by day and [we’re] trying to just stay focused on end goals and keeping God first and believing in him, and we walking.
“We push through day by day.”
Cardi B: Yeah. I feel like lately we just been chasing down our goals and not letting anything distract us. Just balancing out our lives because we do have projects to put out this year and our careers [are] very important to us. And then balancing things out with our careers and our personal lives… our children and stuff. So we just, being adults, we just adulting like everybody else. That’s what I’ve been telling people every day. It’s like we just being grownups, it’s not easy being grownups.
At all.
Cardi B: It’s work.

Praying for you guys and glad to hear that you’re doing okay. Cardi, the other day you said that one of your biggest flaws is not bragging enough. Now, you have the opportunity to show your world the love on this platform and with this ad, what’s one thing you’d brag about your relationship?
Offset: See me, as the man, I’d brag about the money I spend on my lady because I spend a chunky load of it baby. Make sure my baby’s flourishing and shining and yeah, that’s how I’m going to come, that’s how I’m gonna flex. My bills I spent. You see all them, 55, 65 Birkins my lady got? That’s me. The big chicken nugget. The big chicken nugget on the ring finger? That’s me. Multiple cars? That’s me. House in DR? That’s me.
Heard you.
Cardi B: Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. I mean we could brag about a lot of things, but I mean if we could really just keep it simple… we set the trends.
Okay, and lastly – this is a tough, fun one, but I need to know from each of you, who do you think is the better rapper between you two?
Cardi B: I think Offset. Offset could really rap his ass off. He’s really like a freestyler. Oh man, he, wait, hold on…
I was going to say… that’s real love.
Cardi B: Wait, Kiari! [speaks to Offset] They said who, from each other, who do you think is the better rapper? Me or you? I said Offset.
Offset: Got to be.
Cardi B: Wait, hold on… We do be giving each other pointers though.
Cardi B famously rapped, “I don’t cook,” on her hit single, “WAP,” and thanks to her latest partnership with McDonald’s, her husband, fellow rapper Offset won’t have to worry about going hungry anytime soon. The famous couple’s joint partnership with the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald’s will set in when they don’t fill like lifting a finger.
The official commercial for their couple’s meal with the franchise aired at the opening of Super Bowl LVII. During the commercial, the pair appear with several other couples. Measuring their love for one another, Cardi is asked does she know Offset’s go-to McDonald’s meal, to which she lovingly looks into his eyes to answer, “a quarter pounder and a Hi-C drink.”
Inspired by Offset’s favorite McDonald’s meal, the chain has used that as the basis for the Cardi B and Offset Meal, which comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
Barely holding back her excitement, the “Up” rapper took to Twitter to respond to the commercial’s airing, writing, “Y’all saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA I’m F*ckin him! …The CARDI & Offset meal is coming February 14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!.”
Yall saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA IM FUCKIN HIM!!!!!! …The CARDI & Offset meal coming 2.14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!
The fast-food chain hopped on Twitter to share a promotional image of the couple with the caption, “introducing the Cardi B & Offset meal, coming February 14.”
We all know that Cardi B is obsessed with the Netflix hit, You, starring Penn Badgley. Part one of season four has been released, and it is quickly spiking in popularity again. It’s the streaming platform’s number-one TV show in the United States. Cardi B has made it known that she’s an avid viewer. On Thursday evening, she uploaded a new profile picture on Twitter. Is it Cardi at an event? Is it a fire selfie? No. It’s Penn Badgley’s face as Joe Goldberg staring from a window.
This season, the show gave her an impressive nod, using her song with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, “I Like It,” during a rather gory scene from the first episode. In the scene, Joe Goldberg (now Jonathan Moore, a London-based professor) hauls a dead body into a sawmill and cuts it into far too many pieces. It’s an interesting choice for the episode, but it definitely adds an extra level of hilarity to the situation, lightening the gruesome task that Joe is partaking in. Music is Cardi B’s obvious priority, but she played quite the role in Hustlers. Maybe acting is in her future. If it is, she would obviously love to be on You.
This is not the first time that Cardi B and Penn Badgley connected online. In 2019, Badgley mentioned the popular performer at the event “In Conversation with YOU.” He praised her for her connection with her fans, saying, “To me, [social media] is this incredibly nuanced place to be, and despite what many might judge as antics, I feel she has an incredibly authentic relationship to that, and I think that’s why people like her so much.”
Cardi understandably freaked out over the praise. Upon hearing about it, she tweeted “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!OMMMGGGG!!!!!!Yoooo like I’m famous famous.” She changed her profile to a photo of him back then, as well. At the time, Badgley’s response was to make Cardi his profile photo. Additionally, prior to the release of Season 3, Joe Goldberg himself sent Cardi a personal package of goodies. She shared that on Twitter, as well.
Everybody’s talking about the new season of Netflix original series, You. One of the show’s biggest fans is rapper Cardi B.
Today, the “Up” hitmaker changed her Twitter avatar back to a picture of Penn Badgley’s character, Joe Goldberg, on the heels of the show’s fourth season.
This isn’t the first time Cardi has expressed her fandom over You either. In 2021, for the show’s third season, she switched her profile pic to Joe peeping out the window — and Badgley followed suit by switching his to the Bronx rapper. She also received a PR package with blue baseball cap, matching that of character Joe, with text reading “HELLO, YOU…”
A month earlier, Badgley appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he lauded Cardi’s social media savvy. Cardi later shared a clip from the episode, expressing her elation, saying, “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME!!!”
OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!OMMMGGGG!!!!!!Yoooo like I’m famous famous https://t.co/Z7MFQc2t2i
Netflix then changed their Twitter bio to read “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!,” which prompted the rapper to pitch an idea for the episode.
“So it’s episode 1 and I’m at Paris Fashion week shutting it down! I turn around and there stands YOU,” she said.
So it’s episode 1 and I’m at Paris Fashion week shutting it down! I turn around and there stands YOU
As one of Hip Hop’s elite group of successful moguls, 50 Cent has mentored several artists. The Rap icon’s accolades include everything from television to production to music and beyond, so it was only fitting that he caught up with Billboard for a sprawling feature. During the conversation, Fif was asked about mentoring artists like DaBaby and Pop Smoke. Additionally, he was questioned about this generation’s Hip Hop artists and his involvement in helping them with their careers.
“I only like the ones that I see myself in. A lot of the other s–t, I be like, ‘Yeah, what the f–k is this, man?’ I’ve got to believe them and the s–t they’re saying to be into the artist. They [also] have to want to be mentored. I’ll talk to them and touch base with them because I see that in them. You go, ‘Yo, you have to focus on what you came for and what’s important to you, and get those things together versus just riding it out.”
Fif also touched on his “competitive energy,” noting that “Hip Hop culture makes you battle.” He further mentioned Nicki Minaj. “But the funny s–t is, I like watching her when she’s upset,” he said. “I like that because she has something that comes from the experience of living in South Jamaica. I’m looking at it like, ‘Yo, I know they think she’s nuts, but they only think that because they don’t understand.’ I get it. She thinks you’re trying to play her.”
“When Cardi B came, I thought she was dope. She’s from the bottom,” Fif also said. “She was in Club Lust in Brooklyn. [Going] from that and actually making a hit record and turning into who she did? I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t like to see that. It felt like she got everything — married, the baby — it came really fast. That’s the American dream right there.”
“When her and Nicki clash, I go, ‘Oh, s–t, it’s going to be interesting to watch how it plays out.’ Lyrically, I won’t say anything competitively about the two of them, but I love Nicki. I don’t have anything against Cardi. I think anyone who comes now, she is going to check their temperature. Nicki is going to check if this b-tch is friendly or looking to take over the s–t.”
Meanwhile, the tension between Minaj and Cardi has been well-documented. These days, the women have quietly been in their own spaces, but their fanbases have been called out for continuously pitting the women against one another. Check out more from 50 Cent’s Billboard cover feature below.
