Cardi B Addressed Split From Offset 1 Day Earlier

Cardi B explained that she 'felt the love dying' between her and Offset.
Cardi addressed her split from Offset one day earlier during an appearance on the “Jay Shetty” podcast.
“I felt the love dying. From my end, from his end, I was very lonely because I chose to be lonely,” she explained. "It took months for the heart to say, 'You're done.' Instead of my mouth and my brain. My heart had to be like, 'You're done.' Because you could say it and you could take actions but even if you take actions, if you're not done you're not done."
Cardi has since moved on to a new relationship and is currently expecting her fourth child with her new boyfriend, Stefon Diggs.
"I'm excited, I'm happy I feel like I'm in a good space," she told Gayle King last month. "I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I'm doing all this work. But I'm doing all this work while I'm creating a baby, and me and my man, we're very supportive of each other."
Cardi B Recalled Asking Shakira for Advice

"Around that time I was working with Shakira and I was like, how the f--- did you over overcame this? Like, how did you overcame this?” Cardi recalled. “And [she’s] like, ‘It's going to happen.’ And [I'm] like, ‘It will never happen.’ And it happened. It took some crying, it took some thoughts, scary thoughts."
