Cardi B has filed for a divorce from rapper husband Offset

Cardi B has filed for a divorce from her rapper husband Offset, according to a new report by TMZ.

The report suggests the breakup has been a 'long time coming'.

The two rappers were first romantically linked in February 2017 and actually tied the knot in a secret ceremony that same year.

Cardi and Offset have two children together: daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, and son Wave Set Cephus.

TMZ reports the couple's separation is not due to cheating, with one source putting to the outlet that 'they're just disconnected from each other'.

While the pair's parting is said to be 'amicable', Cardi has apparently hired a divorce lawyer who has filed the case.

She's said to be asking for primary custody of their two children.

Sources have also told TMZ the separation was 'not an overnight decision', which would make sense considering rumors of the pair's impending divorce began way back in December.

Page Six first broke the news the two musicians are going their separate ways.

Cardi revealed to her fans that the couple were no longer together last year in an Instagram Live.

She said: “I have been single for a minute now but I have been afraid... not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world."

Speaking further on Twitter, Cardi wrote: "[Offset] you a b***h ass n**** and trust me imma f**king take it there.”

In another post she added: “Mother f**ker will try you when you are at your lowest and your most vulnerable time. You out here feeling yourself but trust me tables turn."

Both posts were subsequently taken down.

Speaking during a previous interview on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up, Cardi admitted she 'never would've thought' that she'd marry Offset.

"We're very different from each other. Yin and yang for real," she revealed. "But one thing that we like both love, we both love family. We are each other's support system. I know that he backs me up a hundred percent and I back him up a hundred percent."

It's not the first time Cardi has filed for divorce, having done so in September 2020.

However, both Cardi and Offset decided to later call it off.
