The ongoing split between American rap power couple Cardi B and Offset has taken a dramatic turn, with new reports suggesting that Offset has rejected a $10 million divorce settlement offer from Cardi B — instead demanding half of her estimated $130 million net worth.
The couple, who have been married for seven years and share two children, are said to be locked in tense legal negotiations as their separation continues to dominate headlines. Sources close to the situation claim that Offset believes he is entitled to a substantial portion of Cardi B’s fortune, arguing that his contributions to her career during their marriage were instrumental to her rise to global superstardom.
According to one insider, Offset reportedly told his legal team, “I built her brand—I deserve half.” The source elaborated further, saying, “Offset feels used. He stood by Cardi through her come-up, gave her advice, connections, and credibility in the industry. He believes he was a huge part of the Cardi B empire, and now he wants what he feels is his fair share.”
However, Cardi B’s camp is said to be pushing back hard against those claims. Representatives for the Grammy Award-winning rapper insist that her success is entirely self-made, pointing to her years of work before marriage, her massive solo hits such as Bodak Yellow and WAP, and her individual endorsement deals with global brands.
Sources close to Cardi B have also hinted that her team is preparing to present documented evidence proving that she independently built her career, both artistically and financially. “Cardi was already on her way to becoming a superstar before Offset came into the picture,” one insider stated. “He didn’t build her—he supported her. There’s a big difference.”
The legal battle is reportedly becoming increasingly complicated as both parties weigh their options. Offset’s refusal of the $10 million settlement suggests he may be seeking a much larger payout, possibly up to half of Cardi B’s assets, including music royalties, properties, and brand investments.
Fans have taken to social media to share their mixed reactions — with some supporting Offset’s claims of partnership and others accusing him of trying to profit from Cardi’s hard-earned success.
While neither Cardi B nor Offset has made a public statement about the ongoing negotiations, insiders say emotions are running high, and the possibility of a public court battle looms large.
For now, the world watches as one of hip-hop’s most high-profile couples navigates what could become one of the most expensive and explosive celebrity divorces in recent years.
