Offset says that he “made a lot of mistakes” in his marriage to Cardi B.
In an appearance on the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast, Set and the titular host had a candid discussion about the downsides of him being in a relationship with a fellow “superstar.”
“I was definitely not perfect,” he said around the 33-minute mark. “I made a lot of mistakes. I did a lot of wrong, and it’s always on the front screen, so it was hard to move on from it.”
When asked by Palmer what he would have done differently in the relationship, Offset mentioned one thing in particular.
“I should have respected her way more,” he said of Cardi. “I made bad decisions as a man, stepping out, and I gotta take that on the chin.”
“I was being selfish, and I can say that as a man,” Offset admitted. “I wish there wasn’t so much attention on our business. I’ve acted out a few times because it feels like you’re being bullied.”
Later in the conversation, Offset addressed the long-standing rumor that he hooked up with Saweetie while she was dating Quavo.
“No, it was rumored, man,” he said. “I feel like it was something deeper than that for the split of me and bro.”
He added, “I think people were trying to tear down my situation and their situation. We’re men, we don’t play those games.”
Offset’s remarks about his marriage to Cardi B come just days after she opened up about the emotional toll of their relationship’s decline during her appearance on the On Purpose podcast.
“Last year, I was planning to have an album. I was planning to put out an album, but I couldn’t focus,” Cardi revealed. “I fell into the deepest depression that I had ever had. And with that depression, I couldn’t function.”
She continued, “And when I talk about function, it’s not even like, oh, just working. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t do nothing. So that just halted everything that I had.”
“I felt the love dying from my end, from his end,” Cardi admitted. “I was very lonely because I [chose] to be lonely. I was saying, like, ‘You know what? I can’t go through this anymore. I have to put a stop to it.’”
“But when I said I was going to put a stop to it… because you can say you’re going to put a stop to it, and you could; you could go a month without being around somebody,” she concluded. “But it’s not when you say so. It’s when your heart [says] so.”
