Rapper Cardi B is facing a wave of online scrutiny following a shooting incident involving her ex-husband, Offset, in Florida. However, a series of viral claims alleging that Cardi B made callous or celebratory remarks about his condition have been proven false.
The Incident: Offset Injured in Florida
Offset was recently injured in a shooting near a casino in Florida. While details regarding the motive and the identity of the shooter remain under investigation by local authorities, the rapper has been confirmed to be in stable condition.
Despite his injuries, Offset made a surprise appearance at Coachella this past weekend, performing in a wheelchair to the surprise of fans and the media alike.
Debunking the Viral Rumors
Almost immediately following the shooting, social media was flooded with allegations regarding Cardi B’s reaction. Two primary claims gained significant traction:
- The “Deserves It” Claim: A rumor circulated that during a social media livestream, Cardi B stated that Offset “deserves it.”
- The “Should Have Died” Claim: A second alleged post attributed to the rapper claimed she said he “should have died” in the incident.
The Verdict: FALSE. There is no verified evidence, screen recording, or digital footprint to suggest Cardi B made either of these statements. Official records and social media archives show that she has remained silent regarding the shooting in a public capacity.
