Shocked to the Core: Cardi B Smacked Offset In Chilling Moments After He Told Her Takeoff Was Killed

Rapper Cardi B was a guest on Revolt’s The Jason Lee Show, and the Bronx rapper recalled the tense moment when she and her husband, Offset, found out that his family and group member, Takeoff, had been killed in Houston in November.

Cardi reminisced on the details of what took place the night Offset was informed that his 28-year-old cousin was shot dead on Nov. 1 at a bowling alley in Houston.

Lala Anthony was throwing her annual Halloween party that night, and Cardi stated that due to their daughter, Kulture, vomiting on her costume, the pair decided just to stay in.

“We were supposed to go to La La’s party in New York, and my daughter threw up all over my costume. We just fell asleep, and out of nowhere, Offset phone kept ringing, my phone kept ringing,” she explained.

“Offset picked up the phone, and he’s just like, ‘No!’ He’s screaming and screaming, ‘No, no, no!’ And I’m like ‘What’s going on?’ And he was like, ‘Takeoff is dead.’”

She then says to Lee, “I smacked him and said, ‘Don’t say that!’ And then he’s just, like, screaming and throwing things, throwing up, running all over. And I was so scared. I was crying so much.”

The Bodak Yellow rapper also spoke about her and Offset almost heading to divorce court when she filed the papers in September 2020. She revealed that the two of them were “not seeing eye-to-eye. This was, like, the same year I filed for divorce and everything.”

But, instead of going into details about the situation, she expressed that the divorce filing was more about Offset, and she would allow him to tell that side of it.

“I’m gonna let him talk about this because the main thing that was really bothering me — I’m a let him say it,” Cardi said. “I want him to say it because I feel like that’s really part of his story.”

The Love & Hip Hop alum had initially filed the divorce papers in September 2020, but it was “dismissed without prejudice” two months later in November. In the initial filing, the mother-of-two cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
