Cardi B reacts after Offset seeks spousal support amid divorce battle

Express Tribune2 days ago

Cardi B has spoken out forcefully following reports that Offset filed for spousal support amid their ongoing divorce.
During a live X Spaces conversation on May 30, the Grammy-winning rapper expressed deep frustration over comments made by Offset's alleged spokesperson, who claimed Cardi was demanding 'everything' in the divorce, including cars and property.
Cardi, 32, denied those claims and said she asked for 'no child support' in updated divorce papers, clarifying that she simply wants to be done with the marriage. She filed for divorce for the second time in July 2024. The couple previously married in 2017 and briefly separated in 2020.
Visibly emotional, Cardi B directed a scathing message at Offset, 33, during the stream, stating, 'Word to my mother. I want you to die, but I want you to die slow.' She accused Offset of rarely seeing their youngest daughter and missing visits with their children, despite being allowed full access.

Offset and Cardi B share three children: Kulture, Wave, and a daughter born in September 2024. Offset also has three children from previous relationships. Cardi emphasized that she has never denied Offset visitation, saying, 'There is not one day he's not allowed to see my kids.'
Offset's amended divorce filing includes a request for spousal support and joint custody. A spokesperson claimed Offset doesn't need the money but filed in response to Cardi's alleged demands.
The public fallout continues as the divorce case unfolds, with both parties addressing custody, financial, and emotional issues in the spotlight.

Clint Eastwood wants filmmakers to be original

Hollywood star Clint Eastwood urged fellow filmmakers to come up with new ideas as he approached his 95th birthday this weekend. Oscar-winning director Eastwood told Austrian newspaper Kurier he planned to keep working, saying that he was still in good physical shape and hopeful that no one would have to worry about him in that regard "for a long time yet." Eastwood's most recent film, legal drama Juror #2, came out in the United States last year and the newspaper said he was currently in the pre-production phase for another film. When asked for his view on the current state of the film industry, the star of films such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Dirty Harry, and director of dozens of films including Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, said, "I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like Casablanca in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea." "We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home," added Eastwood, who turned 95 on Saturday. Asked where he got his energy from, Eastwood said, "There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them." Eastwood also shared the secret to his success. "As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year," he said. "And that's why I'll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I'm truly senile." Reuters

'Sinners' highlights Mississippi

Clarksdale, Mississippi didn't just provide history and blues for director and writer Ryan Coogler's hit film about art, Jim Crow and vampires. One of the Mississippi Delta town's musicians contributed to the Sinners script, as reported by Reuters. After a special screening in the town, which has no cinema, Coogler told the audience gathered in a community hall about the first time he described the film's plot to a group of Clarksdale blues musicians he had asked to contribute to the score. He said he hesitated when he got to the part about the vampires. He went ahead. Then, Grammy winner Bobby Rush filled the silence. "I had a girl once that was a vampire," the musician joked. The line was given to Delta Slim, played by Delroy Lindo, a piano-playing character who brings both comic relief and depth to the movie. Thursday's screening and discussion came after Tyler Yarbrough, a community organizer and film buff in Clarksdale, wrote an open letter asking Coogler and Warner Brothers to bring the film to a town where people drive 80 miles (130 km) to Memphis, Tennessee to get to a cinema. Warner Brothers outfitted the Clarksdale Civic Auditorium with a big screen, projector and sound system. There was even popcorn. Path to ancestors Sinners has been widely acclaimed by reviewers and filmgoers, who praised the film for its stars' performances, its showcasing of African American art, and its wrestling with painful history and big ideas. According to Variety, by the end of its opening month of April, Sinners had grossed $122.5 million in North America and $161.6 million worldwide. At what was billed as a community screening, it was apparent the community was not just the geographical entity of Clarksdale. The audience came together around art and American history, including Jim Crow, the legal and often brutally policed racial hierarchy that subjugated Black people in America's South. Shelby Simes arrived at 7 AM from nearby West Helena, Arkansas, earning first place in a line that had grown to hundreds by the time the doors opened about an hour before Thursday's 11 AM screening, the first of six scheduled over three days. Simes said Coogler's film, which she had already seen seven times, was particularly important at a time when what many see as the truth about the Black American experience has been criticised by President Donald Trump as "improper, divisive or anti-American ideology." "They're taking books off shelves," Simes said. "They're not teaching us properly in the schools." She said with Sinners, which is fiction but offers a realistic portrayal of the Jim Crow era, Coogler and his team made the past tangible. "I love how they were able to create a path to talk to our ancestors," she said, echoing the reaction of other Black viewers. Apt genre Michael Johansson, who has worked with community members to memorialise lynchings in the county where the University of Mississippi is located, said it made sense for Coogler to weave vampire folklore into his storyline. "The horror genre is appropriate for the damage, the cruelty, the barbarism of what has been done to Blacks in this nation," said Johansson, who came from Jackson to see the film on Thursday. Andrea Driver, who supports library sciences students at the University of Mississippi in Jackson, was touched on a personal level. She cried when she saw that a young character had survived horror and reached old age. "He somehow carried that experience with him for years and didn't perish, didn't take his own life. I don't know that I could live with those memories my whole life," she said, saying it spoke to the experience of many Black Americans. Poet C Liegh McInnis, who was born and raised in Clarksdale, noted the hometown audience recited the Lord's Prayer along with a character during a tense moment in the film. He said Coogler had drawn from history, folklore and religion. "I love the fact that Coogler gave us a three-dimensional film," he said. Sinners is set at a time when Clarksdale was a bustling agricultural center in which Black residents were exploited. Many fled north, bringing the blues to cities such as Chicago and Kansas City. While Coogler set his film in Clarksdale, he filmed it in neighboring Louisiana, in part because Mississippi lacked infrastructure such as the soundstages he needed. Clarksdale Mayor Chuck Espy said the attention Sinners had brought could help revive his majority Black town of about 14,000, where 40% live under the poverty line. He hoped to capitalise on Clarksdale's status as a cultural capital by expanding performance and educational opportunities. Coogler saw a future for Clarksdale because of the entrepreneurial spirit that led residents to reach out for Thursday's screening, and its cultural resources. "The thing that you guys have is a thing that can't be taught," he said. Reuters

Stefon Diggs quotes Quavo amid Cardi B and Offset drama

NFL star Stefon Diggs closed out May with a cryptic Instagram post that's gaining attention due to ongoing drama between his girlfriend, Cardi B, and her ex-husband, Offset. Diggs, who hard-launched his relationship with the rapper at a Knicks game last month, posted a reflective message alongside a clip of Quavo, Offset's former Migos bandmate, saying 'wrap it up.' The timing of the post didn't go unnoticed, especially as tensions between Cardi B and Offset continue to escalate. Last week, Offset made headlines for reportedly seeking spousal support, prompting Cardi B to respond with a fiery Twitter Spaces rant where she expressed extreme frustration over their split. In her outburst, Cardi B said, 'I want you to die fcking slow… and while you die, n**a, you gotta think of me.' The explicit statement sparked renewed attention on the acrimonious divorce. Meanwhile, Diggs has also faced scrutiny after a viral boat video surfaced showing him surrounded by several women. Some of Cardi B's fans were quick to criticize the footage. However, the rapper appeared unbothered, reposting Diggs' recent Instagram Story to show public support. With both romantic and public challenges in the spotlight, Diggs' subtle use of a Quavo clip has added fuel to speculation about tensions between the exes and their new partners. As June begins, fans continue to monitor how the Cardi B–Offset fallout and Diggs' rising profile in the entertainment world will evolve.
