Cardi B has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband Offset after three years of marriage.

The rapper filed the divorce documents in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday, according to TMZ, which reports Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, is seeking primary physical custody as well as legal custody of the couple’s two-year-old daughter, Kulture.

According to the outlet, the WAP rapper is also seeking child support from Offset, 28.

A hearing for the divorce is currently scheduled for 4 November.

Cardi B and the Migos rapper, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, married in September 2017 in a secret ceremony.

Throughout their three-year marriage, Cardi has opened up multiple times about Offset’s alleged infidelity, and given her reasons for staying with him.

In January 2018, the Bodak Yellow rapper appeared to confirm rumours that Offset had cheated in a tweet, where she said it’s “not right”.

She later acknowledged her decision to stay with the rapper despite his infidelity angered her fans in an interview with Vogue for its 2019 January cover.  

“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 told the outlet. “But it’s real-life sh**. 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.”

During the interview, Cardi also said she felt that “monogamy is the only way.”

As of now, neither Cardi nor Offset have commented  on the divorce.
