Renowned American hip-hop artist, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, professionally known as Cardi B, has officially confirmed the paternity of her third child.
The “WAP” singer
recently disclosed her pregnancy, which coincided with her filing for divorce
from her husband of nearly seven years, Offset. This revelation naturally
raised questions regarding the child’s paternity.
However, in her
divorce filing, obtained by TMZ on Friday, Cardi B unequivocally confirmed that
Offset is indeed the father of her third child. This acknowledgment was made as
part of her request for child support.
Cardi B and Offset
entered into a private marriage in 2017 and have since welcomed two children
together: a daughter named Kulture, aged six, and a son named Wave, aged two.
In September 2020,
Cardi B initiated divorce proceedings against Offset, but the couple
subsequently reconciled in October of the same year. However, in June 2023,
Cardi B publicly criticized Offset after he alleged that she had been
unfaithful.
According to the
American publication People, Cardi B is seeking primary custody of their
children as part of the divorce proceedings. Offset has also made accusations
of infidelity against Cardi B in the past.
