It’s been more than a year since Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, but their divorce is yet to be finalized, and Cardi has finally revealed the reason behind the delay.
According to Cardi, Offset is refusing to give her a divorce unless she pays his taxes.
“The only reason why I’m still married is because somebody wants me to pay for their taxes. Y’all wanna know the tea? The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties,” she said on X Spaces. “I’mma fight for that. This is not no love s–t. I’m not gonna stop living my life.”

Offset reportedly owes the IRS a total of over $1.8 million in unpaid taxes.
Cardi also clapped back at The Read host Crissle West, who called Cardi out for having four children.
“Yo mama out here giving her p-ssy to whoever the f–k she wants to and keeping whatever y’all drop off in her f–king uterus is crazy,” said Crissle.
Cardi clapped back: “Also, stop trying to make it seem like I got a hundred gazillion baby daddies. I have three kids with one man that I got married with. Yes, I’m having a baby with somebody else. So what that happens, it’s life. Let me tell you something, I did things the correct way the first time. I fell in love. I got two rings in my finger. I lasted seven years, seven years that I didn’t have to last with somebody with. I lasted seven years in a marriage. Stop saying, oh, but you’re still married. No, I’m legally separated.”
