The pair reconciled in early 2019, a decision that Cardi later defended as “real-life s–t.”
“When me and my husband got into our issues—you know, he cheated and everything—and I decided to stay with him and work together with him, a lot of people were so mad at me; a lot of women felt disappointed in me,” she recalled in Vogue‘s January 2020 issue. “If you love somebody and you stop being with them, and you’re depressed and social media is telling you not to talk to that person because he cheated, you’re not really happy on the inside until you have the conversation.”
Brushing aside the online criticism, Cardi continued, “Everybody has issues. I believe in forgiveness. I prayed on it. Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us. And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it’s really us against the world.”
At the time, Cardi said she and Offset “have come to a clear understanding” of their relationship.
“For me, monogamy is the only way,” she noted. “I’ll beat your ass if you cheat on me.”
E! News has reached out to Offset’s rep for comment but hasn’t heard back.
