00:00Cardi B has filed for divorce.
00:03She's not talking about it.
00:04She's actually done it and we know why.
00:08So we have told you that, you know,
00:10there were these rumors going around
00:13about maybe Offset was cheating again
00:16because of this photo that came out the other day.
00:19Turns out the photo has nothing to do with this.
00:23It is as simple as two of them have just grown apart.
00:27They have gone in different directions
00:29and as it was put to us, this was a long time in coming.
00:33Yeah.
00:34A long time in coming.
00:35And there's been rumors about this for a long time as well.
00:37And this isn't the only big news
00:39from Cardi B coming out today.
00:41Well, we're gonna get into the second part.
00:44Well, we might as well get into it now.
00:45She's pregnant, which does complicate things, right,
00:48in the middle of a divorce.
00:50Right.
00:50But she is pregnant and she kind of talked about
00:55this kind of bookend thing where the marriage is ending,
01:00but she's having a baby.
01:01And here's what she said.
01:01She said, with every ending comes a new beginning.
01:04This is Cardi essentially talking to her baby
01:07with an Instagram caption.
01:09Saying, I'm so grateful to have shared this season with you.
01:11You have brought me more love, more life,
01:13and most of all, renewed my power.
01:16I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness
01:19what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do.
01:22Now this would, Cardi has two other kids as well.
01:26And this would be her third child.
01:29And they'd been kind of quiet about this whole thing,
01:31pretending like she wasn't pregnant.
01:33Not just quiet, but we got these pictures
01:36that we put up early this morning
01:37before the pregnancy announcement.
01:39This is on the streets of New York City.
01:42Right.
01:43Cardi B, if you take a close look there,
01:46yeah, you can kind of connect the dots.
01:48The stomach is out.
01:49Stomach is out.
01:50If you notice in the wider shot,
01:52there were umbrellas that were shielding her.
01:55But it's so weird because this was on the streets,
01:59the crowded streets in New York City.
02:01And by the way, this is kind of what Harvey does
02:03when he goes out on the streets.
02:04He has five people with umbrellas.
02:05That's exactly what it is.
02:06Hiding him from the public.
02:07Can you imagine if this is your ghetto going out there?
02:10That's crazy.
02:12Just walk with a traveling crew of people holding umbrellas.
02:16Right, because she has to get to a car or something.
02:18But if you're trying to hide the pregnancy,
02:20why have the shirt open?
02:22I mean, there are other outfits that you could wear.
02:25You're trying to hide that.
02:26Here's what I think.
02:26I think my recon is she's doing a big magazine shoot.
02:31This could be for Vogue,
02:32but she's doing some kind of a magazine shoot.
02:34And maybe they were gonna announce it
02:37online with a magazine.
02:38I don't know, but she decided to do it today.
02:41And by the way, in the divorce,
02:43she is asking for primary custody,
02:45not just of the two children,
02:46but presumably the child that's about to be born.
02:50It is amicable, we're told.
02:52And they have talked about...
02:56Let's play this, because back in December,
03:00Cardi gave a big clue about the state of the marriage.
03:05And what it turns out, what we're finding out now,
03:08what she said back then, was the beginning of the end.
03:12The career-wise, financially, and personal life,
03:15I know where I wanna be at next year.
03:18You know what I'm saying?
03:19And so you gotta get rid of that weight.
03:24When it comes to people,
03:25we always wanna protect their feelings.
03:26We always wanna protect their image.
03:29We just wanna protect people.
03:32Like, how will they feel?
03:34Or how will life without me will be for them?
03:38F*** that.
03:41You know, this is no surprise
03:42if you've been following Cardi and Offset's relationship.
03:45It's been tumultuous for quite some time.
03:46Like you said, we just played the sound
03:48from her back in December,
03:49and she basically was telling Offset
03:51she's gotta protect herself
03:52and she has to leave this relationship.
03:54So to see that she's finally filed now,
03:57it's actually a little surprising that it took this long,
03:59but I think maybe because she did know she was pregnant,
04:01and in those photos, she looks pretty far along,
04:04and even in her announcement, she looks pretty far along.
04:07So it seems like maybe the pregnancy
04:08is what kept her around for so long,
04:10and maybe she was on the fence.
04:12Do I actually leave this guy?
04:13He's the father of my three children.
04:15Do I try to stay and make it work?
04:16And then on the heels of this photo,
04:18even though she's claiming that the photos
04:20have nothing to do with it,
04:21I'm referring to the photo of Offset
04:23with the woman he had prior been linked
04:25to cheating with Cardi with,
04:27was just the end of the straw.
04:28I don't care if he wasn't doing it,
04:29he shouldn't have been photographed with her to begin with,
04:31and I feel like with Cardi being pregnant,
04:33she's stressed out, she's hormonal,
04:35she sees this and she just says,
04:36you know what, I'm done, enough is enough.
04:38I have to put myself and now my three kids first.
04:41I will say this though.
04:44I was on the phone with people
04:45who are kind of in the middle of all of this last night,
04:49and what we were told is that this has nothing to do
04:54with cheating or the other woman,
04:56that this has been going on for months and months and months.
04:59They tried to save it, they worked on it,
05:01but they've just grown further and further apart, so.
05:04What do you read into the caption that she posted online
05:08essentially saying this baby is helping her
05:10to push her to set her free?
05:12I don't know.
05:14I have no idea.
05:17Hello, I'm Harry from London.
05:19I think that Cardi has given Offset
05:22many chances over the years,
05:24and I actually feel like Offset sees Cardi
05:27as quite like a threat.
05:29She's like a huge artist, a lot bigger than he is,
05:32so maybe she just sees him as a threat.
05:34Yeah, I mean, it's probably all of that.
05:37It's probably all of that.
05:38I mean, remember, by the way,
05:39she filed a couple of years ago
05:42and then withdrew the divorce
05:44and we're told this time that ain't gonna happen.
05:45At least that's what they say.
05:46That's what they say now,
05:47but they also said yesterday that she wasn't pregnant,
05:49so things can change.
05:51That's true, too, that's true, too.
05:53We just feel for the kids involved in all this as well.
05:55Yeah, I know, but it sounds like, you know what,
05:58it does sound like that I believe them
06:01when we're told that it's amicable, so we'll see.
