Cardi B compares husband Offset cheating ways to the likes of Martin Luther King, JAY-Z and Bill Clinton.

After news broke that she and Migos member Offset secretly wed in September, several fans began chastising the former “Love and Hip Hop” star for taking the cheating rapper back.

Offset has been publicly exposed for cheating on his pregnant partner more than once, including a second incident in January that caught the Lawrenceville, Ga. native in two raunchy videos with a woman other than Cardi.

The “I Like It” performer had no problem taking her man back, however, explaining in Cosmopolitan’s April issue she wanted to “work out my s— with my man, and I don’t got to explain why. I’m not your property. This is my life … I’m going to take my time, and I’m going to decide on my decision … It’s not right, what he f—ing did — but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel.”

More recently, Cardi had another justification for sticking by her less than faithful hubby.

“So they married💀 and he still cheated🤨🙂okay sis,” an Instagram user said.

“And so did Martin Luther King, Kobe [Bryant], Jay-Z and [Bill] Clinton and most likely your father but guess what? We work[ed] things out, we grew, ’bout to have a baby and purchasing a home together. S— happens. 🤷🏾‍♀️”

Twitter users swiftly chimed in by posting their issues with Cardi B’s response.

“We need to stop letting [these me] have a free pass after cheating 😣.
Pretty soon they won’t feel bad about it. It will become a way of life. No!”

“Cardi B justified being cheated on while married because MLK Jr. did it. Ok. We get it’s a true statement but don’t speak on him as [a] voice of reason in that context. That is honestly the cheapest reasoning ever.”

“Great message for the girls and ladies of today 🙄”

“Cardi B said ‘s— happens’ when referring to Offset cheating on her. Nah sis cheating a choice. That s— doesn’t just happen but alright.”

“Why does Cardi continue to respond to ppl and explain her actions??? Now she on IG comparing Offset cheating to MLK like what?! Lmaoo she sounds ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
