In a shocking and emotional confession, hip-hop superstar Cardi B has opened up about one of the most significant decisions of her career—signing her husband, Offset, to her label. In a candid interview that has left fans and industry insiders reeling, Cardi admitted that signing the rapper, who is part of the popular group Migos, was “the mistake of my life.” Her revelation comes just days after a series of leaks and rumors about the controversial contract they signed together—now believed to be one of the most lopsided deals in recent music history. 

While Cardi and Offset have remained in the public eye as one of hip-hop’s most talked-about couples, their professional partnership has always been a point of curiosity. The shocking new details have shed light on the difficulties Cardi faced when combining her personal and professional life, and the enormous toll it has taken on both her career and their marriage.

Cardi B, who is known for her no-nonsense attitude and unapologetic persona, took to Instagram Live last night to speak about the immense regret she feels about the decision to sign Offset to her label. With tears in her eyes, she confessed that she had made the “biggest mistake of her life” by tying her business and personal relationships in such a public and high-stakes way.

“I was blinded by love, and I didn’t think things through,” Cardi said, wiping away a tear. “Offset and I have had our ups and downs, and signing him to my label was supposed to be a gesture of support, but it ended up being a mistake. It put us both in a terrible position—professionally, personally, and financially.”

Cardi, whose rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric, explained that her decision to sign Offset was heavily influenced by their personal relationship at the time. “We were madly in love, and I thought that we could make magic together professionally. I trusted him with my brand, and that was a mistake,” she said.

While Cardi’s heartfelt admission has rocked the music world, the real bombshell came with the leak of Offset’s contract. According to several insiders, the deal he signed under Cardi B’s label was nothing short of disastrous—both for her and for him. The terms of the contract, which have been likened to the infamous deals signed by artists under Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, reveal just how unbalanced and potentially exploitative it was.

One music industry executive, who reviewed the contract, called it “the second coming of the Diddy nightmare.” The contract stipulates that Offset would receive minimal royalties from his solo work and almost none of the profits from the Migos group’s revenue. Instead, the bulk of the profits went to Cardi B’s label, with a considerable portion reserved for her management team and the infrastructure surrounding her growing empire.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said a music lawyer who asked to remain anonymous. “It’s almost like Cardi treated Offset as her personal project, and the contract reflects that. He was put in a position where he would make very little, even though he’s a huge name in hip-hop. It’s shocking how one-sided it is.”

The financial strain from the contract is only one part of the issue. According to sources close to the couple, Offset has felt increasingly resentful of Cardi’s control over his career, particularly as it became clear that he was not receiving the compensation he deserved. The stress of balancing their personal and professional lives has caused significant friction in their marriage, and insiders say that Cardi’s confession is her way of attempting to take accountability for the damage caused.

“I can’t even look at him sometimes, knowing that I put him in that position,” Cardi said during the live session. “It’s been really hard on both of us. We’ve fought about this so many times. But at the end of the day, I signed that contract, and I made that decision.”

Offset, for his part, has remained mostly silent on the issue, but sources close to him confirm that he has been “disappointed” by the way things have played out. “He’s been a professional, but he feels like Cardi’s decisions have held him back,” said a close friend of Offset’s. “He’s an independent artist, and he’s not sure if he wants to continue working under these circumstances. He deserves better.”

With both their personal and professional lives in turmoil, fans are left wondering what’s next for Cardi and Offset. The music world is watching closely as the couple navigates this public crisis, which could have significant repercussions for both their relationship and their careers.

“There’s a lot of damage to repair,” said a source close to the couple. “They have a lot of love for each other, but it’s going to take time for Cardi to fix the mistakes she made with the contract. And even then, Offset has to decide if he wants to continue this partnership in any form.”

One thing is certain: this confession is a turning point in Cardi B’s career, and it serves as a cautionary tale for anyone looking to merge love with business in an industry that is as cutthroat as it is lucrative.
