The song, now circulating widely online, is filled with rage and heartbreak, seemingly fueled by the pair's messy public split in 2024. Cardi B's latest song ignites controversy over harsh Offset diss and fiery rant While neither Cardi B nor Offset has publicly confirmed who the target of the song is, fans are convinced it's a direct shot at the former Migos rapper.

Cardi B - Outside [Official Lyric Video] The fury Cardi brings to Outside is not out of the blue.
