Cardi B Aims at Offset in Fiery New Single ‘Outside’
American rapper Cardi B has seemingly taken direct shots at her estranged husband, Offset, in her latest single Outside, marking her first solo release of the year.
The Grammy-winning artist, who has been teasing the track for weeks, officially dropped the single with lyrics many interpret as veiled – and at times explicit – jabs at the Migos rapper amid their public breakup.
In the hard-hitting verses, Cardi unleashes scathing bars: “Good-for-nothing, low-down dirty dogs, I’m convinced / Next time you see your mama, tell her how she raised a bh.”* She also raps, “I been cuffed up too long, let me remind ns,” underscoring her apparent readiness to move on from their tumultuous relationship.
The track includes a bold nod to NFL star Stefon Diggs, who Cardi is reportedly dating: “Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM, uh / I’m so small and tiny, he so big and tall / Might let him dunk this p*y like he dunk the ball.”
Offset, who shares three children with Cardi B, has yet to directly address the single. However, he recently released his own track Bodies featuring JID, which made no reference to their ongoing separation.
Cardi B previously opened up about the breakdown of their relationship during a candid session on X Spaces, revealing the emotional toll it took on her. She said she felt “mentally drained” and hinted that the decision to leave may have saved her from reaching a breaking point.
“If I was still there, I was gonna end up going to jail. ‘Cause I was gonna end up killing him, seriously, with my own bare hands,” she said.
Meanwhile, Offset appeared to take a subtle dig at Cardi’s budding romance with Diggs, after footage surfaced showing the rapper dancing intimately with the football star aboard a yacht. In a cryptic post shared on social media, he wrote: “Good roll out n PR,” suggesting skepticism about the relationship’s authenticity.
As Cardi B makes a bold return to music, Outside is already generating buzz not just for its aggressive delivery, but for laying bare the lingering tensions between two of hip-hop’s most watched figures.
