Cardi B revealed the shocking reason she had no choice but to file for divorce from estranged husband Offset back on July 31 following six years of marriage.

The 32-year-old Grammy winner was traumatized over ‘waking up each day’ to a new article about the 33-year-old father-of-six’s philandering ways like when he brought Atlanta-based model Melanie Jayda with him to Dubai in January.

Cardi B (born Belcalis Almánzar) started seeing a therapist last year because she was suffering from ‘frequent headaches’ and was ‘literally losing my mind.’

‘I gave chances after chances after chances after chances,’ the half-Dominican, half-Trinidadian star – who boasts 281.2M social media followers – confessed on X Spaces Tuesday.

‘If I was still there [in that marriage], I was going to end up going to jail because I was going to end up killing him. Seriously, with my own bare hands because it was getting too much.’

Cardi B and Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) had legally separated in November 2023, but the on/off nature of their romance resulted in the birth of their eight-month-old baby daughter Blossom.

‘My baby came out 5lbs because I couldn’t eat because I was so depressed because of the lies and the constant drama,’ the Higher Love rapper cried.

‘This is more than the cheating. It’s just like the constant lies, the gaslighting – it was really messing up with my head.’

The three-time Grammy nominee previously accused Cardi B of cheating on him ‘with a baby inside’ but on Tuesday she doubled down: ‘I was married for seven years. I was faithful for seven years. Before that, I was engaged for three years.’
