Offset breaks silence on Cardi B, Stefon Diggs rumors, and why he’s never getting married again

Offset Speaks on Cardi B Divorce, Says He’s Never Seen A Woman Do Better Without Him

Offset opened up like never before during his recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, where he addressed the lingering drama surrounding his highly publicized split from Cardi B, her romance with NFL star Stefon Diggs, and his firm decision to never marry again. The candid conversation dropped this morning (August 6). It quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms and hip-hop blogs. Therefore, reigniting debates about celebrity breakups, toxic relationships, and the emotional toll of fame.

“Ain’t Never Seen a Woman Go Up After Leaving Me”

In a bold and controversial statement, Offset told Joe Budden he’s “never left a relationship and seen the woman go up afterward.” This remark came as a direct response to Budden’s insinuation that Cardi B has seemingly leveled up post-divorce. Thus, referring to her growing success and relationship with Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

The claim instantly sparked viral backlash. Many took it as an indirect shot at Cardi B, who has not only maintained her musical momentum but has also appeared to embrace her independence since filing for divorce in 2024. No, Offset didn’t mention her by name during the segment. However, the subtext was clear to fans, especially with the pair’s complicated romantic history still fresh in public memory.

Offset Reflects on Cardi B’s “Outside” Diss Track

Earlier this year, Cardi B dropped “Outside,” a fiery diss track that many interpreted as a direct callout of Offset’s infidelity and emotional neglect. During the podcast, Offset revealed that he knew about the track before it was released. Rather than react defensively, he chalked it up to emotional expression.

“She was venting,” he told Budden. “We artists, we speak through the music. I ain’t mad at it.”

Despite his calm demeanor, fans couldn’t help but note the visible tension as Offset spoke. His posture, tone, and delivery suggested that the scars of their relationship still run deep, especially as he revisited some of the issues that plagued their marriage—chief among them, his cheating.

Offset Denies Taking Shots on New Album

One thing Offset made crystal clear is that his upcoming solo album Kiari—named after his real first name—will not include any subliminal disses toward Cardi B.

“This album is about me. It’s personal. I’m not doing no back-and-forth with nobody,” he said.

Instead, he emphasized that the project is rooted in reflection, growth, and his desire to reconnect with fans on a deeper level. It remains to be seen how transparent he’ll get about his past. However, his comments suggest he’s more focused on self-evolution than revenge lyrics.

“I Ain’t Never Getting Married Again”

Offset didn’t mince words when asked about remarriage.

“Nah, I’m done with that,” he said. “I ain’t never getting married again. That shit broke me.”

The declaration was sobering. For a man once known for elaborate romantic gestures—including famously crashing Cardi B’s concert to beg for forgiveness—Offset’s tone now reflects heartbreak and disillusionment. He admitted the emotional toll of their separation still lingers and made it clear that he’s not ready—or willing—to walk that road again.

Revisiting Their Rocky History

Offset and Cardi B’s relationship has always been a whirlwind. From their secret wedding in 2017 to multiple public breakups, cheating scandals, reconciliations, and the eventual divorce filing in 2024, the couple has been under constant scrutiny.

In recent months, Cardi B has leaned into a narrative of empowerment. Therefore, frequently posting cryptic messages about emotional growth, boundaries, and self-love. Meanwhile, Offset has remained relatively quiet—until now.

His conversation with the Joe Budden Podcast offers the most transparent glimpse yet into his state of mind, showing a man torn between ego, regret, and unresolved feelings.

Social Media Reacts: “Offset Is Bitter and Obsessed”

The internet wasted no time weighing in on Offset’s remarks. The original X (formerly Twitter) post by @Chatnigga101, which shared a clip from the podcast, quickly exploded with engagement—racking up over 942,000 views, 5,500 likes, and thousands of reposts, quotes, and replies.

Here’s a snapshot of the dominant reactions:

Offset Called Out for Toxic Behavior

More than 70% of the replies harshly criticized Offset for his alleged toxicity, with users accusing him of being bitter, egotistical, and unable to handle Cardi B’s glow-up.

“Offset is obsessed,” said @WickedNFine. “Like, leave that lady alone.”

“He just oozes toxicity,” wrote @BBWNABMW22. “Cardi B was not a random or BM. She was your wife.”

“Cardi dodged a bullet,” added @agostinhozinga.

Cardi B Applauded for Growth

Many users took the opportunity to praise Cardi B’s post-divorce journey, pointing to her rising profile and rumored relationship with Stefon Diggs as evidence of her success.

“We are literally watching Offset harass Cardi & Stefon in front of the whole world,” added @LiberalsQuiet.

“Offset hasn’t smiled in months,” said @ClearlyDgaf_. “He wants her miserable with him.”

Jokes and Memes

Some tried to lighten the mood with jokes and speculation about the possibility of a reunion.

“This Cardi resisting the urge to get on Spaces after she hears this nonsense,” wrote @scarmadethis.

“A podcast downplaying their relationship… their reunion is gonna hit like crack,” joked @rubyybeaufort.

Minority Support for Offset

A smaller group of fans defended Offset, often redirecting criticism toward Cardi B or minimizing the drama.

• “Offset still rich… All you got is ‘Cardi paid for this’ like she didn’t do her job as a partner,” said @YeahBell_.

Public Perception and Gender Dynamics

This interview, and the firestorm it ignited, underscores how celebrity breakups are never just about two people. They become mirrors for the public’s views on gender roles, loyalty, accountability, and healing.

Offset’s refusal to remarry, paired with his assertion that women don’t level up after leaving him, was interpreted by many as a bruised ego rather than a mature reflection. Meanwhile, Cardi B continues to enjoy support from fans who view her as the wronged party who managed to rise above it all.

What Comes Next?

While Offset claims his new music won’t target Cardi, the buzz around their relationship ensures that every lyric will be dissected for hidden meanings. Similarly, if Cardi B chooses to respond—either through music or social media—the conversation is sure to intensify.

For now, Offset’s appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast has reignited interest in their story and reminded fans that the wounds from hip-hop’s most turbulent romance may still be far from healed.
