‘Me and her good’: Offset opens up about where things stand with Cardi B

The rapper opened up about their relationship after separating, revealing how ongoing online criticism has affected their children.

Offset knows how the internet sees him, and he says it is starting to cost his family more than it costs him.

The Atlanta rapper appeared on the New York Times’ “Popcast” and spoke candidly about the reputation that has followed him through his marriage to and split from Cardi B.

Years of headlines and social media commentary have made him an easy villain online, and he admitted that the image gets to him. “I hate when people think that I’m a bad person, bro,” he said. “It bothers me.”

He was quick to say he wasn’t fishing for pity, stressing that he didn’t want any kind of sympathy. His concern, he explained, is what the narrative does to the people around him.

He has parents and children who see what is written about him. He said his oldest son, now 16, has gotten into trouble at school after seeing things posted about his father and hearing others repeat them.

The irony, as Offset described it, is that the conflict people keep circulating is no longer real.

“What’s so crazy is we good. Me and her good,” he said of Cardi B, explaining that the two have worked through their differences with their children as the priority. He said he has been spending time with his kids and has no issue with his former wife. “I salute everything that she doing,” he added.

What he will not do is put that peace on display to win back public opinion. Asked whether he wanted to show the world a more positive version of the relationship, Offset said no.

As long as he and Cardi B are on good terms and their children are doing well, he said, there is nothing to prove. “It’s not a show,” he said, acknowledging that he might “take the hit” for keeping it private because their mutual respect comes first.

He also pointed to how separate their lives have become. “She got her own whole world. It’s two different worlds now,” he said, adding that he would never want to merge those worlds and make anyone uncomfortable, especially when fans already make things harder than they need to be.

Offset and Cardi B married in 2017 and share three children; Kulture, Wave and Blossom. Their separation in 2024 played out under heavy public scrutiny, and both have since moved on with their own lives.

The interview offers a rare look at the other side of a story much of the public believes it already knows.
