News that Cardi had filed for divorce was first reported early last week, but it wasn't until an Instagram live stream on Friday that she addressed it publicly, explaining that the couple was separating because they simply "grew apart".

"I'm OK," Cardi told fans. "I want to let you know I have not shed not one tear."
"I just got tired of fucking arguing," she went on. "I got tired of not seeing things eye to eye. When you feel like it's just not the same anymore, before you actually get cheated on, I'd rather just leave … Nothing crazy out of this world happened. Sometimes people really do fucking grow apart."

She went on to say that she would never put Offset, her baby's father, through such a high level of public scrutiny "for attention."

"You mean to tell me that I'm going to let my child's father go through scrutiny... I get along with his mother very well," Cardi said. "You think I'm going to do that to her son for attention?"
"Why do I need attention?" she asked.
And I guess that's that on that!
