The most shocking news recently broke the internet when Cardi B announced that her and her husband Offset were broken up. Like typical Cardi style, she took to Instagram saying that her and Offset were going to get a divorce and that the breakup was “nobody’s fault”. Although Cardi claims that their separation had nothing to do with anyone else, rumors of Offset cheating again started getting her fan base riled up and the attention of the rest of the media. Offset was accused of attempting a threesom with rapper Cuban Doll and another woman who goes by the name of Summer Bunni. Summer Bunni apologized via Instagram video for allegedly cheating with Offset, which caused even more tension to arise considering there is proof that Offset really did cheat again. While the internet has currently been in a frenzy due to Cardi and Offset’s split, a few of Hillgrove’s students had their own thoughts to share about the controversial rappers.
When asked if she felt like it was for the best, Hillgrove junior, DeMaya Gaskin said, “Yes, because he cheated numerous times.” Hillgrove senior, Gia Taijae simply stated, “No.” Aaliyah Hobbs, Hillgrove junior, admitted, “Yes, because you gotta do what’s best for you and be in and be in a relationship that makes you happy.”
DeMaya responded with, “yes”, when asked if she was surprised about the two rappers split. Gia honestly stated, “No I wasn’t surprised because rappers have to deal with so much on social media about their relationships so it takes a lot to maintain a healthy one.” Aaliyah Hobbs agreed saying, “No not really. It was bound to happen sooner or later.”
“No,” was Gia’s response to if she thinks people will listen to their music more now. “Yes, I feel like Cardi is going to drop a breakup song,” said DeMaya. Aaliyah stated, “I mean they should listen to it regardless because a relationship isn’t what makes the music more real, if you get what I’m saying… Like they shouldn’t have to stop listening to their music just because they got a divorce. That’s stupid.”
Many are heartbroken over this breakup in the hip-hop industry, some are amused, and others do not know what to think. Considering Cardi’s amusing persona, she will most likely be trending again not too much longer after this breakup chaos is resolved. Hopefully it will be something celebratory instead of devastating. For now, Cardi claims to just be focusing on work and her beautiful, four month old baby girl, Kulture. Multiple celebrities and many fans continue to wish the best for her.
