Who Is Offset’s Mysterious Mom – And What’s Her Link to Cardi B’s Scandal?

Cardi B shares 3 children with ex-husband Offset, who she says didn’t buy their kids Christmas presents and who, along with his mother, she claims ripped her off

After officially separating from her on-again, off-again estranged husband last July, Cardi B, in an X Spaces livestream, has accused Offset and his mother, Latabia Woodward, of robbing her.

“I ain’t listen after you and your momma robbed me,” Cardi B said on the livestream on January 14. “Yeah, you and your mom robbed me cold, wiped my nose. Told you stop f****** playing with me.”

While the “WAP” rapper didn’t explain the alleged robbery, she went on to say that the Migos artist also neglected to buy Christmas presents for their three children, but shopped for his other offspring.

“You just called your daughter for the first time this year, yesterday. Your newborn. You love your kids so much and you didn’t bought them s*** for Christmas,” the Grammy winner said.

“But you came to New York to buy your other kids gifts. But you didn’t bought my kids s*** on purpose to spite me. Mind you, we was cool. We wasn’t f******, but we was cool. Stop f****** playing with me,” she continued.

Offset has fathered six children with four women. He and Cardi B have welcomed daughter Kulture and son Wave, as well as a newborn daughter who arrived last year, despite their divorce.

He is also the father of sons Jordan and Kody and daughter Kalea, from previous relationships.
