From bumps in the road to baby bumps, Cardi B and Offset‘s relationship has been quite the roller coaster ride.
The duo’s relationship began in early 2017, and has since brought cheating scandals, a secret marriage, kids Kulture Kiari Cephus and Wave Set Cephus, and some hot collaborative tracks.
Cardi and Offset secretly married on Sept. 20, 2017, before the Migos rapper proposed to her onstage at Power 99’s Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia in October that same year. According to the Fulton County Magistrate in Georgia, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset nearly three years later, on Sept. 15, 2020. The two eventually got back together weeks later, and are stronger than ever — for the most part.
There have been accusations of infidelity on both parts, but the couple has maintained their love for each other.
From super lavish gifts bestowed upon each other (and their children) to making their videos family affairs (see “Jealousy”), Set and Cardi have been public about their feelings for each other, during both the peaks and valleys of their romance.
Billboard has compiled a timeline of the hip-hop power couple’s relationship, from collaborating on music to filing for divorce to babies and beyond.
While it is possible that the two never met during recording, the pair were linked nearly a month prior to the Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 2 release.
In a since-deleted Instagram post by Cardi B, she danced and made it rain in the club while teasing the collaborative track.
However, it wasn’t until the Super Bowl that the couple were first seen holding hands in public. Cardi B was also spotted in a live video streamed by Offset, which was later reposted by fan accounts.
On Valentine’s Day, Cardi B posted an Instagram video of her and her “babe” Offset. Judging by the pair’s outfits and the stadium seats in the background, it’s a video from their hot date to the Super Bowl earlier that month.
Soon after, during a Migos interview with Tim Westwood, Offset only offered a playful smirk on the subject of Cardi B, while the rest of the group laughed. “Shout out Cardi B,” said Migos member Quavo.
Earlier that month, Westwood received the same silent treatment when he asked Offset about his relationship to the Bronx rapper.
While backstage at a Meek Mill concert, Cardi B and Offset appeared happier than ever as she flashed her personalized chain gifted to her by Offset.
Celebrity jeweler Elliot Avianne posted the chain to his Instagram account with the caption: “Bloody Moves.” The chain included a Cardi B-esque hand with red nails, rings and a red bandana.
