Cardi B Denies Making Comments About Offset Shooting Amid Reunion with Stefon Diggs
Recent reports claiming Grammy winner Cardi B made controversial remarks about her ex-husband Offset being shot have been debunked as entirely false. The rumors began circulating after Offset was injured in a shooting incident at a Florida casino earlier this week.
A viral clip allegedly showed Cardi B saying, “Offset said he was out on the street, but he was at the casino losing all my money…That’s what he deserves.” This purported statement sparked outrage among fans who criticized the rapper for making such comments about the father of her three children. However, no credible source has confirmed the authenticity of this clip, and Cardi B has not made any public statements regarding the incident.
The “WAP” artist has instead remained focused on her personal life and children, deliberately staying away from the controversy surrounding her ex-husband. This approach aligns with her recent behavior of maintaining distance from public drama involving her former partner.
The shooting incident took place in the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Offset, a former member of the hip-hop group Migos, was injured and subsequently hospitalized for several days. According to reports, he is now in stable condition and recovering from his injuries.
In a related development, the Seminole Police Department in Florida arrested rapper Lil Tjay (born Tione Jayden Merritt) in connection with an altercation that occurred prior to the shooting. Though Lil Tjay has since been released, he made inflammatory comments about the incident, claiming, “The last thing I see was Offset looking at me like this: ‘Y, that [expletive] shot me, that [expletive] shot me!'”
Lil Tjay continued his provocative statements, saying, “[Expletive] is a rat, [expletive]… I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot? That [expletive] is crazy. I will smack the [expletive] out of Offset.” He added, “He would never play like that with me in his life. Ask Offset.”
Meanwhile, Cardi B’s personal life has taken an interesting turn as rumors suggest she has reunited with former NFL star Stefon Diggs. The pair had briefly dated before Cardi reportedly ended their relationship in February. However, they have recently been spotted together, fueling speculation that their romance has been rekindled.
Diggs, formerly of the New England Patriots and more prominently known for his time with the Buffalo Bills before being traded to the Houston Texans this year, has also remained silent about both the shooting incident and his relationship status with Cardi B.
The situation highlights the complex nature of celebrity relationships and the challenges public figures face when personal matters become fodder for public speculation. False information can spread rapidly through social media, creating narratives that can damage reputations and relationships.
Industry observers note that Cardi B’s approach to handling this situation—maintaining silence rather than engaging with rumors—represents a mature strategy for navigating the often turbulent waters of celebrity gossip. This is particularly important as she balances her high-profile career with her role as a mother to four children, including those she shares with Offset.
As the investigation into the shooting continues, and as Offset recovers from his injuries, the focus will likely remain on separating fact from fiction in the swirling narratives around these high-profile celebrities.
