Offset Salutes Cardi B, Says They Are Good Now: “I Respect Her Privacy”
Offset is choosing peace — and privacy. On the New York Times’ “Popcast,” released November 12, the Atlanta rapper addressed where things stand with Cardi B, and the answer was calmer than the internet expected.
“I have no issues with my ex. Like I salute everything she doing,” Offset said. He explained that they have worked through a difficult period and are focused on their children.
Asked whether showing that improved relationship publicly could counter the villain narrative around him, Offset shut it down. Putting their private progress on display just to change how strangers see him is not the play: “I respect her privacy.” He acknowledged that keeping those moments out of view means absorbing criticism without the public seeing the fuller picture — a trade he is willing to make, including weighing whether a public show of unity might make Cardi uncomfortable.
To be clear, this was not a reunion announcement. He described two separate lives and cooperation, not renewed romance. Signs of that cooperation have surfaced before — the two attended a joint birthday celebration for their children in September, despite their split.
The comments fit a bigger theme from the same interview: Offset said his personal troubles had overshadowed his music and shaped how people view him, and that rebuilding his focus meant looking at his own choices instead of just blaming the coverage.
