American rapper Offset, who is better known as Cardi B’s husband, was recently spotted at a casino with his alleged former girlfriend PrettyRedz, sparking cheating rumors. The video was first shared by the Instagram account Model Tea Room with the caption:
“Offset and his ex-boo PrettyRedz were spotted outside together.”
In the wake of infidelity speculation, Offset took to his Instagram Live and cleared the air, claiming, “Shawty ain’t my Shawty,” hinting that he was not having an affair with PrettyRedz.
Since Offset’s response became viral, the internet has been having diverse reactions. For instance, Instagram user @teambakari87 commented on The Neighborhood Talk’s repost of his clarification and speculated that Cardi B must have contacted her husband and expressed her anger, and he was just trying to do damage control.
“Cardi must’ve called & raised hell, bc the way they both tackling this left & right to clear it up, when Offset never clears up anything, is crazy,” the person wrote.
Several others joined in the conversation on X. Some made fun of his clarification, while others pointed out how it was a rare move on the Set If Off rapper's part.
“I'm glad he cleared that up!” an individual mocked.
“Do he always come out responding to things?” one individual sarcastically asked.
“Lmao this ambiguous a*s response,” another individual wrote.
Others claimed the whole thing was a PR stunt before Offset’s forthcoming album rolled out next month.
“It's a PR Stunt this is the first week of August,” a netizen wrote.
“Definitely PR stunt for August,” one netizen wrote.
“Another stunt. Don’t they ever get tired?” another netizen asked.
Some speculated about Cardi B’s reaction to her husband's cheating rumors.
“Cardi about to tweet and tell us to mind our business, she not leaving him,” one person wrote.
“Oh, jeez! Rant in 5,4,3,2,1 *Cardi B has started a Space*,” another person wrote.
Notably, apart from his Instagram Live claiming he was not dating PrettyRedz, the Atlanta rapper also commented under an Instagram post showing him hanging out with her. He wrote:
“I’m at a public place, gambling at a casino, with a married 8-month pregnant woman. WTF, [do] I look like being outside publicly cheating SMD!!!”
The Migos member also asked people to do their “research” before making allegations.
PrettyRedz also responded to the Offset cheating rumors
Under Model Tea Room’s Instagram post alleging that Offset was cheating on Cardi B with PrettyRedz, the latter too offered a clarification. Pretty Redz claimed that she wasn’t at the casino with the Ric Flair Drip hitmaker but rather with her late husband’s family, confirming that she was in the third trimester.
“Y’all really have to stop with this type of behavior,” she wrote.
Later, she also took to her Instagram Story and further addressed the matter.
“It’s completely crazy that I even have to do this! PLEASE! If not for me… Please respect my late husband! I’m just beginning to grieve!!! Having a night out with my family is definitely not an opportunity for clickbait! I am carrying the last gift my husband will give this earth!” she mentioned.
PrettyRedz also asked for “peace” and privacy, adding that if people were looking for a “story,” there was “nothing” for them to see. She slammed people for creating false rumors without caring for how it would “impact” all those involved.
In a follow-up story, she even shared an image of ultrasound showing a fetus, thus confirming her pregnancy with her late husband, Rocky Hayes.
Meanwhile, as for Cardi B, earlier this week, she shut down speculations that she was unable to afford her Atlanta home, which she co-owns with her estranged husband. She dismissed that the home she purchased in 2019 for $5 million was up for “foreclosure,” adding that not only was it now worth $7 million, but if she had to really “sell” it, she would give it up to Offset because he loved the place.
