Cardi B has admitted that she “hated” living in Atlanta as she goes through a divorce from ATL native Offset.
Bardi took to Instagram Live on Thursday (August 22), and seemed to take inadvertent shots at her soon-to-be ex-husband’s hometown.
She explained that she was in New York for label meetings and actually lived in New Jersey with her children, despite many assuming she lived in Atlanta with the former Migos rapper.
She explained: “I don’t live in Atlanta. I have a house in Atlanta. I only go to Atlanta like three or four times a year. And probably I go for a week, maybe less. I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and I lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don’t have not one friend in Atlanta, and I don’t have not even one family member in Atlanta. So I just don’t like Atlanta.”
During that same Instagram Live session, Pooh Shiesty made a move on the pregnant rapper.
The currently incarcerated Shiesty popped up in the comments section and wrote: “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door.”
Offset, who is divorcing Cardi despite the fact she is pregnant with their third child, seemingly referenced Shiesty hitting on his estranged wife on by posting a number of laughing emojis on X (formerly Twitter).
Cardi filed for divorce from Offset for the second time at the beginning of this month after previously announcing their split.
A source close to the couple told TMZ that the divorce filing was “a long time coming” and the couple have simply been growing apart for a while.
The insider added that Cardi and Offset made an effort to reconcile earlier this year, but were unable to work through their issues.
While the split is described as amicable, Cardi has reportedly already hired a high-powered divorce lawyer and is seeking primary custody of their two children, six-year-old Kulture and two-year-old Wave.
Cardi later hit out at reports about the disintegration of their marriage, primarily claims that the former Migos rapper was not helpful with the children and family matters.
“Ok this is getting weird cause I can say he helps me a lot with my business and the kids,” she clarified.
The Bronx native also refuted that any of her close friends and family would go to the press with gossip: “Never in my career, no matter what I went through, I had friends or family go to the media sooo I don’t know who is this damn source going to people magazine.
“Even wit my filling I’m not askin for child support my claim is for him to only pay for the bills he already pays on the kids and the new one.”
On the same day Cardi filed for divorce from Offset, she also revealed that they are expecting their third child together.
Sienna Spiro has revealed that she struggled with deep insecurities about her body while growing up and often wore baggy clothing to cover herself when she began sharing her music.
The Die on this Hill singer says her father introduced her to legendary stars such as Barbra Streisand and Ava Gardner, whose glamorous style inspired her to picture a more confident side of herself.
She said trying out her now recognizable hairstyle became a major moment for her, explaining to Variety: “The first time I experimented with the hair, I felt like a more polished and powerful version of myself.” Her stage look helps her feel confident, particularly when she is tired or experiencing period pain. “There are days when changing my hair from how I normally wear it, or putting on my boots, helps me enter a different mindset and feel more self assured.”
The 20 year old artist also shared that she has experienced vocal nodules since she was young, describing them as both a positive and a negative because they create her signature raspy sound while also placing considerable pressure on her voice.
She remembered: “I did not receive an official diagnosis until two years ago, but my voice has always been incredibly raspy. I believe I may have had them for most of my life, or at least since I was very young.”
She admitted: “They can be both a gift and a struggle. I really like the character they bring to my voice, and sometimes they prevent me from reaching certain sounds, which can actually create something interesting. However, I was almost unable to speak for an entire year. The year before last, I barely talked at all. It was extremely difficult and made me feel very alone.”
Away from the stage, Sienna looks completely different without her dramatic hairstyle and high heels. She explained that adopting her performance persona often helps create some space between herself and the feelings that inspired her songs.
She said: “I do not really censor myself, which can be helpful but can also create problems. Still, honesty is the only way I know how to write, and being myself is the only way I can show up.”
“I am simply a 20 year old woman, and there are mornings when I wake up on my period and still have to get onstage and perform. Changing my everyday hairstyle or slipping into my boots allows me to become someone slightly different, giving me more confidence and some emotional distance from how I felt when those songs were written.”
She added: “High heels are not something I would ever choose to wear in my normal life.”
