When asked by co-host Charlamagne tha God if he was scared he was going to lose the "Bodak Yellow" star forever, he replied, "For sho! Yeah!"

One of those steps is seemingly marriage counseling, which he mentioned. "Not on the TV though, real behind the scenes, getting to know each other, getting to know who you're with and appreciate them all the way around," he said. 

Charlemagne followed up, asking, "So y'all did the marriage counseling and all that?"

"Working through it," he answered. "Gotta work, gotta keep. Don't stop...we're young, man."

Exclusive - Cardi B, Myself and Offset Are ‘Back On’ But not ‘Fully’ Back Together Yet

Cardi B and Offset are “back on”, but they’re still not officially a couple yet. A source close to Cardi told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that she’s been pretty much won over by
Offset’s persistence. “Cardi B is such a strong person on the outside, but on the inside she’s actually a really emotional girl,” our source told us.

“Cardi is slowly starting to let Offset in more and more, but she’s going in cautiously. Offset really broke Cardi’s heart, but at the end of the day, Cardi really wants to make this work, and she does feel like
Offset is putting in the effort and work.”

As of right now, Cardi and Offset are still in that nebulous region between being back together, and seeing each other casually. “Cardi is telling friends that they’re ‘back on’, which basically means she considers herself spending time with him and is getting closer to fully being a couple again,” our source went on to say. “Cardi is telling friends however, they are not fully back together yet. Cardi knows a love like that doesn’t come around often and especially since they have a child together, she wants to be with him.”

Right now, Cardi’s schedule and performance calendar is so booked up, that her primary focus is giving her fans the best possible experiences. “Cardi has been working really hard lately — more so than ever,” our source added. “She’s excited for a Vegas residency and feels that will even help take her to the next level as an artist. All of the details are still being worked on, but of course she cannot wait to perform there for her fans.”

Exclusively Cardi B and Offset Vacation in Puerto Rico Together After Week Of Splitting

It looks as if Cardi Bis slowly but surely letting Offset back into her life. 

The hip-hop stars appear to be soaking up the sun in Puerto Rico, according to photos shared on social media. A source previously told E! News that the on-again, off-again lovebirds planned to spend Christmas together for the sake of their 5-month-old daughter Kulture. 

In a snapshot published by TMZ, Cardi is all smiles as she clutches on to Offset on the back of a jet ski. The white bikini she rocked in the photo matches the same one she modeled in her Instagram Stories just hours prior. Additionally, Offset posted photos of the same jet ski on his own social media accounts. And later this evening, Cardi is set to perform at the Electric Holiday music festival in San Juan.

Case closed, right?

In early December, 26-year-old Cardi announced her split from the Migos emcee when proof of his alleged infidelity made its way to the internet. Since then, Offset has made several (very public) attempts to win his wife's forgiveness. 

Most recently, Offset crashed her headlining performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles, complete with a cake and display of 2,000 white and red roses from Venus ET Fleur, worth $15,000, displaying the plea "Take Me Back Cardi."

Most recently, Offset crashed her headlining performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles, complete with a cake and display of 2,000 white and red roses from Venus ET Fleur, worth $15,000, displaying the plea "Take Me Back Cardi."

Our insider said Cardi was "not pleased" by the gesture, but "understands where he is coming from and appreciates that he is trying." 

As for what led the "Money" songstress to ultimately decide to reunite with Offset over the holidays, the source shared, "Cardi B wants Offset to be a part of Kulture's life and wants him to spend Christmas with his daughter. It's Kulture's first Christmas and it means a lot to Cardi to have the family together."

So can fans expect the duo to officially reconcile under the mistletoe? Not so fast. 

Another source previously told E! News, "She isn't ready to take him back. Cardi is trying to keep focused and keep her head clear until she figures out what she wants to do."

Exclusive Report - Offset's Stepfather Speaks Out On Cardi's Bad Influence, Then Calls her 'Hot-Headed Female' (READ MORE)

Rapper Offset's Stepfather, Michael Woodward, shared his frustrations in a lengthy open letter posted to a Facebook group for fraternity and sorority Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha on Monday.

Woodward blamed rapper Cardi B for causing devastation and chaos in his family after she dumped the rapper on social media 2 weeks ago.

As you recall, Cardi, 26, announced her split from the 27-year-old rapper in an emotionless video that she later deleted.

Woodward, who is married to Offset's mother, Latabia Woodward, criticized Cardi as a narcissistic "hot-headed female" who thrives on social media. He also blamed her for sabotaging Offset's upcoming album by posting a photo of the couple's only child, Kulture Kiari, on social media.

According to Woodward, Offset, who was born Kiari Cephus, planned to reveal the first photo of his infant daughter, Kulture, on the cover of his upcoming album. The album, which was due out last week, has since been shelved.

"She released the baby picture out of [spite],"Woodward writes. "It was supposed to come out in his album. She basically screwed my whole family over that vowed not to release pictures to social media."

Woodward lay part of the blame for Offset's troubles on fame and easy access to money, drugs and women.

"Like most young adults, he doesn’t always do what he’s advised to do, but we are talking about a 25-year-old with an unlimited supply of money, women chasing him, people at his disposal etc. Couple that with a hot headed female that thrives off of social media attention and is on the same financial level as/above him and it's a recipe for disaster. They both have professional people in their corner that they do not use."

Social media users were initially skeptical of Woodward not knowing his stepson's actual age. But others pointed out that they don't readily remember their own children's ages right off the bat.

Woodward recalled an incident over the summer when the feds kicked in his front door to serve a search warrant while he was out of town.

"You all don't know that my door was kicked in this summer by the feds and every inch of my home was ransacked for a case they are trying to build against him (I can't discuss it here)."

Woodward, pictured with his wife, Latabia, also insinuated that Cardi, Offset, or both have "Psychological issues, depression and drugs" that further feeds the dysfunction in their relationship.

Read the entire text of the letter below, courtesy of Madamenoire.com:

"I am just getting off a flight from L.A. to Atlanta.

I want to thank the Brothers that cared enough to identify my family situation being played out over the news and made a point to curtail it. I also want to thank the ladies for your support as well and the one that told me not to go in the group when I got off the plane. Unfortunately, I had already read the post, and every sub.

Right now, my family is going through a very tumultuous time. What you see in the media is only the tip of the iceberg. Social media is a powerful tool, but certainly no place for family situations; however, our youth, specifically my son’s wife doesn’t understand that. She seems to want to take everything to social media without regard to the devastation it has on others, past present and future or specifically what it does to the other children. I say this not to say that my son is innocent, as he has done his share of dirt, but the whole scenarios is a never-ending drama session. It's tic for tack [sic], mudslinging, situation fueled by jealousy, envy, insecurities, psychological issues, drugs, etc., etc, etc…

While one may believe that celebrity life is good, open to scrutiny and is fair game for jokes, insults etc., it is different when that stuff is in your face every day. It is depressing [and] tiring. People do and say hurtful things about my family members daily, specifically, my child. While he ain’t perfect, he is mine and as a parent I have a duty to protect him. Right now, I cannot do that. Like most young adults, he doesn’t always do what he’s advised to do, but we are talking about a 25-year-old with an unlimited supply of money, women chasing him, people at his disposal etc. Couple that with a hot headed female that thrives off of social media attention and is on the same financial level as/above him and it's a recipe for disaster. They both have professional people in their corner that they do not use.

Psychological issues, depression and drugs make the situation worse. You all do not know how that effects the rest of the family from late night phone calls, emergency travel, news media etc. I did not sign up for this. Everything I do and say is scrutinized, everyone wants a favor, to get close to him or Cardi. I have lost friends family members, etc. because I have had to say no for his protection.

His legal troubles over flow into my house. You all don't know that my door was kicked in this summer by the feds and every inch of my home was ransacked for a case they are trying to build against him (I can't discuss it here). My daughter came home with her 1-year-old baby to a blocked off street and guns in her face. I was out of town and couldn't protect her. Everyday, I still smile and come in [here] laughing with you all. The laughs help mask the tears. Last week when Cardi posted the divorce video, I could not get any work done at work (I own my own business) as the phone calls, texts, DM's etc [were] non stop.

She released the baby picture out of [spite]. It was supposed to come out in his album. She basically screwed my whole family over that vowed not to release pictures to social media. My whole is in an uproar right now and I can't fix it. I am usually the fixer and Brothers that know me can attest to that. I don't know what to do or where to turn. I tell you all this because I want you to get a glimpse of my family life. I would not wish this on anyone. I would give anything to simply go back to being a school teacher and coach. Thanks for listening."

Cardi B plead with her followers, 'Stop Bashing My Baby's Father'

Cardi B took to the Internet last night after her estranged husband, rapper Offset, crashed her set to beg her to take him back at the Power 106 Rolling Loud concert.

Cardi, 26, pleaded with her followers to stop bashing her baby's father, particularly in light of troubled Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson expressing suicidal ideations on social media on Saturday.

The NYPD announced Davidson was fine and he was on the set of Saturday Night Livesurrounded by friends.

"I wouldn't want my baby father to have that [suicidal] feeling because millions of people be bashing him every day," Cardi said in a video. "That's a nasty feeling, and I wouldn't want that. Violating my baby father is not gonna make me feel any better."

The Bronx rapstress continued: "God could give me and bring me the most perfect, glamorous, fabulous man. That perfect, glamorous, fabulous, perfect man is not going to love my child the same way her father loves my child."

Cardi said she wasn’t sure if she would take Offset back, considering his history of infidelity with randoms. "I'm not saying I'm gonna get back together with him. I just don't like that bashing online thing," she said.

EXCLUSIVE UPDATE - Rapper, Cardi B React to Offset's Heartfelt Apology (Read More)

Cardi B responded to rapper Offset's public apology with a cryptic message of her own late Saturday.

The Bronx rapstress is apparently satisfied with Offset's heartfelt plea for her to take him back after he cheating repeatedly while she was pregnant with their daughter, Kulture.

Offset poured his heart out in a video apology that went viral on social media late Friday. The video garnered over 6 million views and 155,000 comments on Instagram.com.

In an Instagram Story late Saturday, Cardi responded to her baby daddy in her native Spanish language: "Pensando en ti pensando en mi," which translates roughly to "Thinking of you thinking of me."

The promiscuous rapper celebrated his 27th birthday at a nightclub in West Hollywood early Saturday morning. He was accompanied by his crew of hardlegs. There were no females in sight as he hid his face behind a bejeweled veil that matched his silver embroidered bomber jacket. His neck and wrists were dripping with diamonds.

I'm told his bodyguards made sure no women came within 20 feet of the rapper. Offset is reportedly turning over a new leaf in order to win back his wife. There will be no more random hookups in motel rooms with loose women.

The "Bodak Yellow" raptress shocked her fans when she announced her split from Offset in a video 2 weeks ago after a year of marriage. She said they were no longer together after trying to make their marriage work.

In his heartfelt video Offset stuttered, "I only got one birthday wish, and that's to get my, my, my wife back."

Last night, it didn't appear that Cardi would take her cheating man back. But now fans aren't so sure.

WATCH VIDEO - Rapper Offset plead for Forgiveness from Cardi B

The internet is abuzz over a new video that shows rapper Offset begging and pleading for his estranged wife, Cardi B, to take him back.

"I only got one birthday wish, and that's to get my, my, my wife back," Offset stutters in a video posted to his Instagram account late Friday.

The soft spoken rapper apologized to Cardi nearly a dozen times. He said he misses Cardi "like crazy," and he even invoked God's name.

Your auntie teared up a little when Offset said he wanted to spend Christmas with their 5-month-old daughter, Kulture Kiari, who doesn't even know what Christmas is.

You know it's serious when a man begs and pleads publicly for his estranged wife to take him back. He was definitely in the wrong. He admitted to cheating on Cardi, but he clarified that he didn't have sex with Summer Bunni ("I didn't f--- that girl"), so she can't possibly be pregnant with his 5th child.

It's safe to say Cardi is not taking Offset back. When a woman is fed up, and she takes the baby and leaves, she doesn't want to hear mere words.

Words fall on deaf ears after a man breaks his marriage vows. She wants action. You have to show her that you care by your actions.

Words are meaningless; she's heard it all before. Show her you are serious by not even LOOKING at other women. Tell your boys to ban women from the studio, VIP areas, and from backstage. It might be too little too late, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Good luck, Offset. You seem like a good man.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT - Offset Is Reportedly Determined To Get Cardi B Back

The latest reports claim that Offset is not taking the Cardi B breakup easy at all. It seems that the rapper has high hopes.

A source close to him made sure to spill the tea to the online publication Hollywood Life and here’s what they had to say:

‘Offset feels heartbroken over his split. He has major regrets over some of the mistakes he made in their relationship.’

Even if Cardi said that ‘it’s nobody’s fault,’ just one day after the announcement, another shocking video popped up.

It was a teary apology video from Offset’s alleged mistress, Summer Bunni.

This apology came after the alleged text messages between her and Offset got leaked yesterday.

TMZ obtained them and let the world know that Offset invited her and rapper Cuban Doll for a threesome on June 28.

This was only two weeks before Cardi B gave birth to her and Offset’s daughter Kulture.

The same insider mentioned that ‘[He] does not want to believe that it is over for good.’

They continue and explain that ‘Offset blames a lot of the haters, online trolls and Cardi’s obsessive fans for contributing to their breakup.’

‘He never felt so much pressure in a relationship as he did with Cardi which made things challenging,’ the insider continued.

‘He still has a lot of love for Cardi, still finds her sexy and beautiful as ever and does not want to lose her in his life,’ the same source concluded.

It was also recently reported that Cardi’s friends are confident that these two will get back together. We’ll just have to wait and see whether they’re right or not.

EXCLUSIVE UPDATES - Cardi B & Offset Separated for 4 Months After Birth Of Daughter Kulture: Watch Heartbreaking Reveal

We’re speechless. Cardi B and Offset are separating after marrying in 2017, and the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper made the announcement herself on Dec. 4 — watch the shocking video, here!

We’re blindsided. Cardi B and Offset’s affinity for PDA had us fooled, because they’re now calling their one-year marriage quits! Cardi, 26, announced the news in an Instagram video on Dec. 4. “Everybody been bugging me and everything, and you know, I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now,” she said. “We’re really good friends and you know, we’re really good business partners…he’s always somebody that I run to, to talk to. And we’ve got a lot of love for each other.” But here’s where the “but” came in.

WATCH - INSTAGRAM

“Things have just not been working out between us for a long time. It’s nobody’s fault, I guess we just grew out of love,” she said. Cardi then made the BIG announcement: “But we’re not together anymore. I don’t know, it might take time to get a divorce. And I’m going to always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father.” Watch the full video below! Offset, 26, even commented underneath their breakup announcement with one ominous comment: “Y’all won.” The “Money” singer’s wedding ring was noticeably absent from her finger, as seen in an Instagram Boomerang she shared right before posting the heartbreaking news!

No one saw this coming. Cardi and Offset, who share their four-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, just took the stage together at the 2018 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Inglewood, Calif. on Nov. 30. Their time on stage certainly didn’t hint at their failed marriage! The former couple shared a sweet kiss, and Offset even laid his hands on Cardi’s butt. “Thank you husband. He’s so fine,” she had told the audience. “That’s my baby daddy yo.” The Migos member was just as proud of the mother to his child in a recent interview!

“She’s flying private jets for baby girl to be with her,” Offset told Us Weekly at the Variety Hitmakers Brunch in Los Angeles on Dec. 1. “She’s paying a lot of money, but it’s all love for Kulture. And that’s who she do everything for first and I respect it. She’s a new mom. A lot of new moms don’t know what to do. She’s learning fast.” Their relationship seemed more than fine, as he added, “We’re growing together and it’s the best thing.” Keep in mind that this interview took place just three days before the breakup announcement!

The news came so out of left field, Cardi’s followers think she’s crying wolf. “April Fools?” @antoniquesmith commented. Blogger @iamzoie wrote, “Not buying it sis!!! NOT BUYING IT AT ALL!!!” And @theonlyjasonlee chimed in, “y’all full of s**t.” We’ll keep you updated on how this separation develops!

CELEBRITY COUPLE: Cardi B & Offset Lease Twin Lambos

Cardi B and her husband Offset are the latest rappers to team up with a high end car dealership for cheap leases on luxury cars.
Motor Cars of Atlanta posted this photo of the rap power couple picking up their new leased Lamborghinis.

Cardi and Offset, who welcomed their first baby earlier this month, picked up their Lamborghini Aventador S Coupe, left, and Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.
Don’t worry, they aren’t paying full lease price since the cars will double as rolling billboards for the dealership.

Anyone who owes the state of Georgia $28,000 in back taxes can’t afford to pay full price to lease a Lambo. But the dealership will cut a deal with any rapper who has at least one hit record on the charts (both Cardi and Offset qualify).

Cardi B says People make fun of me for being Offset’s 4th baby mama

Cardi B ‘s first full-term pregnancy has her feeling some kind of way. The first-time mom is expecting a baby girl with promiscuous rapper Offset , who has a tribe of kids and baby mamas on his payroll.

In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the 25-year-old Bronx native says she’s tired of fans mocking her for being 4th in line for a child support check from Offset.

“People want to make fun of me, saying I’m the fourth baby mom, [but] I know I’m not having a baby with a s–tty ass man,” said the “Bodak Yellow” rapper.
Offset already cuts child support checks for three of his children from previous relationships: sons, Jordan and Kody , and a daughter, Kalea.

Another woman was rumored to be pregnant with Offset’s baby, but the Internet exposed her as a fraud.
“We really love each other,” said Offset. “She’s real. I wanted real. I also wanted successful.”

Unlike other baby mamas, Cardi says she plans to take her daughter on the road every time she goes out on tour.
Cardi understands the importance of being there for her child, particularly in the first 3 years, when a baby’s childhood development can go haywire quickly.

“What I envision is my tour bus has my own personal room, and I just want to be with my baby,” she told Rolling Stone. “Only time I don’t have my baby with me is when I’m getting my hair done, makeup done, performing. I don’t want to miss one second. I don’t want to miss no smiles, I don’t want to miss no new movement, I don’t want the baby to confuse me and the babysitter.”

CELEBRITY - Cardi B Bares Her Belly On Cover Of Rolling Stone Magazine

Cardi B and her fiancé Offset , of the rap trio Migos , grace the cover of
Rolling Stone magazine. You’re not alone if you’re wondering how a one-hit wonder made the cover of the holy grail of music magazines.

Nowadays, you don’t have to be a music superstar to make the cover of Rolling Stone. Social media presence carries more clout than any actual achievement.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper took to Instagram to reveal the cover shot, in which she bares her pregnant belly and her tatted butt while Offset, dressed in a sharp red suit (looking like a Black Beatles with fake dreadlocks), is seen kissing Cardi’s baby bump in the cover shot.

She seemed to take a subtle jab at
Rolling Stone editors for leaking the full cover image an hour earlier.
“I guess it was too much to ask to wait until the official July release of our @rollingstone cover! This cover is so special to me and means so much! Thank you to everyone who helped put this amazing cover together! Even tho it was leaked and suppose to be In gray f**k it.”

Clearly the Rolling Stone editors were eager to get the jump on the Monday morning rush to the blogs to see what shenanigans occurred over the weekend.
Cardi also expressed joy that her unborn daughter made the cover.
“My daughter made it to the Rollin Stone cover !!!! Official release in July.You can’t ruined what’s for me! ROCKSTARS @offsetyrn (sic),” the 25-year-old gushed.

She was quick to boast about the beauty benefits of being pregnant.
“Do you see my motherf**kin’ hair? This s**t growing and growing,” she bragged. “You see my skin? Look like a b**ch put moisturiser on, but I just woke up (sic).”

As most moms know, the sharp increase in female hormones progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy completely overwhelms the hair follicle-killing male hormone testosterone (and its derivative DHT), and helps the hair to grow in thick and full. But after giving birth, both female hormones drop significantly, causing the hair to shed.

Offset’s $150,000 diamond missing necklace as being found

Offset's $150,000 diamond-studded chainis back where it belongs -- around his neck, so police have officially closed the book on the once-missing bling.

Law enforcement sources say NYPD wrapped up its grand larceny investigation into Offset's chain, which allegedly got jacked while he was in town last month for the Met Gala. The chain hasnow been returned, and police have closed their open file.

The Migos rapper posted the video of the necklace safely around his neck, less thana week after the theft was reported. Offset bragged, "Still got my s**t. Come on, ya'll know better than that."

Rapper, Offset Hospitalized after Car Wreck

Offset totally destroyed his muscle car , and got a little banged up himself in the process ... TMZ has learned.

The Migos rapper wrecked his green Dodge Challenger late Wednesday night in Atlanta , and had to be taken to a hospital afterward for minor injuries . .. according to our sources connected to Offset.

We ' re told he' s already been released and is expected to be okay . His car . .. not so much.
Our sources say Cardi B rushed to be by her fiance ' s side after she heard about the accident.

According to law enforcement , no cops or emergency medical workers were called to the crash scene , and no accident report was taken . Offset' s wrecked car was towed away afterward .

It ' s unclear at this point if anyone else was involved -- but that seems unlikely since no one called police .
