Cardi B details post-divorce transformation journey

Cardi B revealed how hardships had shaped her into what she is now after her divorce.

In the recent interview, the rapper opened up about how splitting from her husband of seven years kicked off a major change in her career and personal life.

Cardi said on the Aspire With Emma Grede podcast, “I feel like last year a new person was reborn”. She further noted, “I don’t know if it was the divorce. I don’t know if something woke me up. I feel like I’m definitely a new person”.

After the divorce, Cardi B realized this is the time to lock in professionally and build her own empire.

She continued further, “I’m 33 years old. I’m in my Jesus year. I’m in my Orisha year. This is the year. It’s like God is telling me, ‘It’s gonna be now or never take advantage of it”.

“A lot of artists or celebrities that have really big, major businesses that are successful, they didn’t build their brand in the second or third year of being big celebrities,” Cardi added. “They built their brand when they  were  seven to eight to 10 years in the business, and I feel like right now is the perfect time.”

Cardi shared three kids, Kulture, seven, Wave, four, and Blossom, one, with Offset. She also welcomed a son with NFL player Stefon Diggs in November.

It is pertinent to mention that Cardi and Offset tied the knot in 2017 in a private ceremony, and she filed for divorce in 2024.
