Cardi B finally reveals name of third child as she puts ex Offset on blast
Cardi B has finally revealed the name of her third child as she also put her ex Offset on blast in a fiery rant on Friday. The Bodak Yellow hitmaker, 32, jumped to X Spaces to give an emotional response to a spokesperson for the music artist, 33, telling The Breakfast Club he is requesting 'everything' amid their divorce proceedings, per Hollywood Unlocked. Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset - whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus - last year in July. But earlier this week on Thursday, it was disclosed that he is now asking that she pay him spousal spousal support. At one point, the mom-of-three claimed that her estranged husband is not involved in their children's lives - including their youngest daughter Blossom, who was welcomed to the world in September 2024. 'Kiari is allowed to see my kids,' the Grammy winner emphasized. 'It is not one day that he's not allowed to see my kids. He stood up my kids three times. He has seen Blossom only like five times, and I been trying to save your face…' has reached out to Cardi B and Offset's reps for comment. She continued, 'I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.' Cardi B also added, 'You talk to the kids almost every single day. You call the kids almost every single day. 'I allow you to talk to the kids every single day. If I allow you to talk to the kids, why would I not allow you to see the kids?' She has previously teased the name of her youngest child on social media - such as late last year in November. At the time, the performer showed off five sparkling diamond bracelets which had been uploaded to jeweler Elliot Eliantte's Instagram page. Two of the pieces had the names of her eldest daughter Kulture, six, and Wave, three - whom she also shares with Offset - printed at the top. Another bracelet also had the name of her third child, but the rapper had it concealed. However, her finger slipped to reveal the first two letters: B and L. The star could be heard saying, 'Y'all can't see my daughter's name yet so I gotta hide the last one. Just know the whole f***ing wrist is Eliantte b***h!' Fans were quick to jump to the comment section to speculate on what the full moniker could be, with some offering both Blossom and Bloom. Cardi B - whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus - first announced her pregnancy with baby number three in July 2024, the same month that she filed for divorce from Offset. The I Like It rapper has since been romantically linked to NFL plater Stefon Diggs - although he was recently caught flirting with a bikini-clad woman on Memorial Day. has also exclusively learned that her ex Offset made a shock decision in their divorce proceedings. Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband of nearly seven years under grounds of 'irreconcilable differences between the parties,' according to the complaint. She is requesting that their marriage be dissolved, per the complaint, since 'there is not reasonable prospect of reconciliation.' Offset initially filed his 'answer and counterclaim' to the Up hitmaker's divorce petition in February of this year, but can reveal that he has now filed an amended response. The May 23th filing has been updated with a new request... he is now requesting she pay him spousal support. The May 23th filing has been updated with a new request... he is now requesting she pay him spousal support; Offset seen in February in New Orleans 'Defendant/Counterclaimant demands judgment requiring Plaintiff to pay to the Defendant spousal maintenance,' the court document reads - with the defendant referring to Offset and the Plaintiff referring to Cardi B. A specific amount has not been noted, but will eventually be determined by the judge once divorce proceedings carry out in the coming months. has reached out to Cardi B's attorney for comment. The WAP rapper did not previously request spousal support in her divorce filing from August. Cardi B's current reported net worth is $101 million - making her the second richest female rapper of all time - while Offset's reported net worth is $32 million. Offset initially filed his answer and counterclaim on February 25, before amending it this month. All other requests, except for spousal support, are the same, including his request that the court determine each parent's child support obligations, distribution of their marital property and other personal property. He's also requesting each party be responsible for his or her counsel fees. In addition, he's asking for joint legal custody of their three children, with Cardi B being the primary resident for the kids and him being the alternate resident, with a parenting schedule that considers the best interest of the children. In Offset's court filing, he did note that the six-month-old's birth father - if it is him or not - would be revealed during a 'pending paternity confirmation.' It was previously reported that the rapper was seeking a DNA test for all of their children, but Cardi B said that she would 'never do a DNA test because all my kids look like their father' and that 'the proof and the receipt is in my kids' face.' She continued, 'When my daughter will be six months, I'll post the picture and y'all will see she looks just like her baby daddy. My baby daddy has never asked me for any DNA tests because he knows when he's hitting.' In Cardi B's complaint for divorce, she confirmed Offset was the father, writing that 'their third child' would be born later in the year. She gave birth on September 7. Offset also has three children from previous relationships: a son named Jordan Cephus, a son named Kody Cephus, and a daughter named Kalea Marie Cephus. The couple married in September 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia - where Offset is currently residing. Cardi B remains in Tenafly, New Jersey, where they purchased a $5.85 million house that has nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms. She is requesting an equitable distribution of their personal property as well as primary custody of their minor children. She asked the court for Offset to pay child support - although he's requesting the court decide child support matters. The exes have already moved on with new love interests. Offset is rumored to be dating an Atlanta-based model named Melanie Jayda, who he was seen cozying up to in Dubai at the end of December. While the pair hasn't been seen out publicly lately - and their relationship has yet to be confirmed - Cardi B has been spotted on multiple occasions with Diggs. They spent Memorial Day weekend together in Florida where they were seen partying on a yacht. The singer nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction, but her boyfriend came to the rescue as he pulled her one-piece black swimsuit over her chest. The New England Patriots wide receiver - who signed a three-year, $69 million contract in late March - was swarmed by bikini-clad women on the yacht as his rapper girlfriend was nearby. The moment was captured on video and has since gone viral, leading fans to raise eyebrows over his antics as he lounged shirtless on the boat and chatted with three women, who called him 'daddy' after he repeatedly asked, 'What's my name?' Toward the end of the clip, he is seen with a plastic bag containing an unknown substance that one of the women took from him. Despite Cardi B also enjoying the party onboard, she was left seething. A source revealed to the that the I Like It singer 'doesn't want her man flirting with any ladies' and that she 'wishes he wouldn't be a scumbag,' and 'flirt' with women who throw themselves at him. 'She is really frustrated with him,' the source added. 'He should know better. The fact that he didn't realize what was going on around him is embarrassing.'

Rapper Offset announces Russia gig despite label's boycott
Offset has announced he'll be playing an arena gig in Russia next month. The US-based rapper is set to perform at Moscow's MTC Live Hall on 18 April, confirming the show on his Instagram. Real name Kiari Cephus, Offset is signed to Motown Records, owned by Universal Music Group (UMG), one of a number of labels which announced it was suspending operations in Russia after it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. BBC Newsbeat has contacted UMG and Offset's representatives for comment. Days after the Russian invasion, UMG released a statement saying it was "suspending all operations in Russia and closing our offices there". "We urge an end to the violence in Ukraine as soon as possible," a spokesperson said. "We are adhering to international sanctions and, along with our employees and artists, have been working with groups from a range of countries to support humanitarian relief efforts to bring urgent aid to refugees in the region." A number of other labels and promoters, including Live Nation, Warner Music Group and Sony Music took similar action. Many artists, including Green Day, Louis Tomlinson and Yungblud have cancelled planned gigs since the war started. However some have resumed shows there, most recently rapper DaBaby - signed to Interscope, also part of UMG - who posted updates on his Instagram from his Moscow gig last week. Some Russian musicians were also "blacklisted" over their anti-war views. Offset found fame as part of rap trio Migos with tracks like Stir Fry and Bad and Boujee, and has been releasing solo music since 2017. Last year he completed his first solo headlining tour, following the release of his 2023 album Set It Off. The site selling tickets for his Moscow gig describes Offset, who used to be married to Cardi B, as "a showman who turns a concert into a theatrical performance". It goes on to say the rapper is "leaving the past behind and striving to become better - more confident, aware, and full of energy". The gig has not been confirmed by his label Motown Records and is not listed on his official website, but has been listed on a bespoke site for the event shared by Offset as well as the venue's site. Tickets are priced between 5,000 - 45,000 Russian roubles - about £40 - £400. Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 and 17:45 weekdays - or listen back here.
