Cardi B and Offset are undoubtedly one of the hottest couples in hip-hop. While Offset can come off more lowkey and soft spoken than some other rappers, he’s the perfect complement to Cardi B’s erratic, spontaneous, and reckless behavior. It was only a matter of time before they found each other.

The pair first linked up for the song “Lick” back in 2016, and the collaboration was the start of an iconic rap love affair. While the record may not have taken off initially, fans can now refer back to it as a reminder of the couple’s synergy and chemistry. Their relationship hasn’t been drama-free as the two beat divorce and cheating allegations. As the pair have matured, their relationship has blossomed into a partnership that is full of love, support, and encouragement.

The two share two children: Kulture Kiari Cephus, 5, and Wave Set Cephus, 23 months. Additionally, Cardi takes her role as stepmother very seriously, as she accepts and treats Offset’s children Kalea, 7, Kody, 7, and Jordan, 12, as if they were her own. Their blended family was featured on Essence May/June 2022 cover, highlighting their powerful and united home front.

Thanks to social media and the couple’s willingness to discuss their relationship with the public, fans are able to take a front-row seat to the action. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the history of Cardi B and Offset’s relationship.
