Offset Declares He’s ‘Ride or Die Forever’ With Cardi B During #SurvivingCardiB Storm, Some Fans Say She’s Not Worth It

It looks like Cardi B and Offset are a long way from where they were at the end of 2018 when the “Money” rapper left her husband for cheating. Because now they seem stronger than ever, and one indication of that is Offset showing Cardi support amid the backlash she’s received.

Over the weekend, an old video surfaced where Cardi said she used to drug and rob men back in her days as a stripper.

“I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to f–k me? Yeah yeah yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,’ and I drugged n—– up and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do,” she said.

The criticism came afterwards, and the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB went viral, which is a play off the R. Kelly docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” which detailed the singer’s alleged sexual abuse.

Cardi sent a lengthy statement about the backlash on Tuesday and said it’s normal for rappers to talk about their criminal pasts.

Then, the following day, another old video surfaced where the “Bodak Yellow” rapper admitted to more ill behavior.

“Cheat on me? We gonna get drunk. I’m gonna get him all perced up and everything,” said Cardi in the clip. “We gonna have a good time, get him super twisted, then bring a b-tch around. We gonna have a threesome, and when he wake up he’s gonna be like ‘What the f–k?’ Yeah, because the b-tch was a tranny … Yup, a tranny sucked your d–k You don’t gotta f–k another n—- to get even.”

Offset sent his support to Cardi on Wednesday and did it next to a photo of the couple having fun at what it appears to be the beach.

“RIDE OR DIE FOREVER LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHATS GOING ON I LOVE YOU BEST MOTHER AND HUSTLER I KNOW,” he wrote.

“She is a Hustler,” someone commented under the post. “Your love is beautiful. She’s a survivor and hustler. We all got a past.”

“She doesn’t deserve all this support after drugging men and raping them,” wrote another. “if offset said sum sh-t like that it will be career ending.”

Offset’s post received over one million likes in under 24 hours.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
