Cardi B is no stranger to speaking her truth, but her latest revelation left fans stunned and deeply sympathetic. In an emotional livestream on X Spaces, the rapper opened up about how the alleged cheating by her estranged husband Offset didn’t just break her heart—it deeply impacted her physical health during her third pregnancy.

The Bronx-born artist, known for her unfiltered honesty, shared that the emotional distress caused by Offset’s behavior during that time led to severe depression. “It wasn’t just cheating. It was the gaslighting. The lying. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep,” Cardi revealed. “My baby came out five pounds because I was so depressed. I couldn’t function.”

Her words paint a painful picture of emotional trauma manifesting physically—something many women silently endure. While the public has watched the highs and lows of Cardi and Offset’s relationship unfold for years, this is one of the first times Cardi has spoken so openly about the psychological weight she carried behind the scenes.

Married since 2017, Cardi and Offset have had a rollercoaster relationship that’s played out in public—from surprise breakups to reconciliations. The couple share three children together: daughter Kulture, son Wave, and their youngest, Blossom, born in September 2024. According to Cardi, Offset has barely seen Blossom since her birth.

Though she filed for divorce in July 2024, Cardi had remained relatively quiet about the real reasons—until now. “There’s a difference between moving on and healing,” she said during the livestream. “I had to protect my peace, especially for my kids.”

Offset, a member of Migos, has not responded publicly to the claims. In the past, he’s addressed infidelity rumors with vague apologies and public gestures, but Cardi’s recent statements add a new layer of seriousness to their split. Her focus now, she says, is on her children, her mental health, and her career.

Cardi’s candid moment also shed light on the unspoken reality of many women who endure emotional trauma during pregnancy—a time when they are expected to be at peace. She emphasized the long-term impact of carrying that emotional burden without support, revealing that even therapy felt ineffective during the peak of her stress.

But there’s hope in her tone now. Cardi recently confirmed that she’s dating NFL star Stefon Diggs and is taking her healing journey seriously. “I’m in a better place,” she said. “I’ve learned I have to choose myself—every time.”

For fans, her honesty is yet another reason Cardi remains such a powerful voice—not just in music, but in culture. She continues to challenge the silence around emotional abuse, motherhood, and mental health, offering solidarity to countless women facing similar battles.
