Cardi B and Offset’s marriage appears to be definitively over as the former has filed for divorce for a second time.
Cardi announced the new development on Thursday, August 1, marking a significant turn in the couple’s tumultuous relationship.
The decision to file is not linked to the persistent cheating rumors that have haunted the couple’s seven-year union. Instead, a source close to them suggests that the split has been a long time coming, with the two having grown apart over recent months.
“It [the divorce] is not based on any one particular incident, it has been a long time coming and is amicable,” TMZ quoted a Cardi representative to have said.
