Here's A Timeline Of Cardi B And Offset's Roller-coaster Romance

"We more like Belly, Tommy and Keisha shit."

News that Cardi B has offically called a quits with her rapper husband, Offset, still has the internet shook! 

Completely unexpected, on Tuesday night (Dec. 4) the Bronx femcee took to Instagram to share with her fans a video breakup announcement and, according to Cardi, not only was it “nobody’s fault,” but the split was mutual for the couple who are the parents of 5-month-old baby girl Kulture Kairi Cephus

Offset continued the shock after stating under Cardi's video post, “Y’all won.”

Are we the only ones disappointed to see hip-hop's fave "It" couple split after such a short-lived run? We didn't think so. That's exactly why we decided to highlight the couple's overall relationship timeline, from the happy times to the drama-filled moments.

    Speaking highly of the Migos during an interview with Fader, Cardi refers to Offset as “the boy.”

  12. She later took to Twitter stating the video is old news and existed before the two began dating. “When he did it again when the last two videos was before me? [Dumb] a**,” she tweeted.

    Sick of public scrutiny, Cardi responded to those who questioned why she stayed in the relationship.

    “No, it’s not right for a [n***a] to cheat…But what you want me to do?” she responded on an Instagram post. “Go f**k me another n***a? Start all over again and get cheated on again? This sh** happens to everyone and I be too, you too…People handle they relationship different soo.”

I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented. I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player. But I want to work out my s**t with my man and I don’t got to explain why.”
