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.

David Lee Roth made an unexpected appearance at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday evening, stepping onto the stage with Teddy Swims to perform “Jump,” the iconic 1984 hit by Van Halen.
During his Stagecoach set, Swims welcomed Roth after running through his recent single “Mr. Know It All” along with “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” both taken from his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which arrived in September 2023.
This moment marked the third straight festival where the two have shared the stage. Swims previously invited Roth out during recent sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where he introduced him as “David Lee Roth from the best band of all time, Van Halen,” before they kicked into “Jump” together.
The latest performance unfolded during a chaotic night at Stagecoach, as strong winds earlier in the evening led to a temporary evacuation of the grounds and forced several changes to the schedule, including removing artists such as Journey and Riley Green from the lineup.
The evacuation came after powerful gusts swept through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the site of the festival. An “emergency evacuation” notice appeared on screens across the venue, urging attendees to “move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit,” while alerts sent through the festival’s official app instructed people to clear the area.
The interruption impacted several stages, with the Mane Stage sitting between sets when the evacuation alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening as part of a regional wind advisory.
Even with the disruption, Swims’ set ultimately continued, and Roth’s surprise appearance stood out as one of the biggest highlights of the night as fans returned once the festival resumed.
Stagecoach, one of the largest country music festivals in the United States, takes place every year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and regularly draws tens of thousands of fans.
