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.
Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
