Offset and Cardi B are about to face off on the music charts. Offset just announced that his new single, “Bodies,” featuring JID, will release at midnight. Cardi B’s highly anticipated song “Outside” is also dropping around the same time.
Fans believe this is not just a coincidence. Some think Offset’s timing is a move to compete with Cardi, especially as their messy divorce plays out in public.
For weeks, Offset and Cardi B have been trading shots online. Things got worse when Stefon Diggs, Cardi’s rumored boyfriend, shared a photo with Offset’s son, Wave. Offset reacted strongly, warning people not to “play” with his child.
Cardi B also fired back recently with an angry rant after Offset filed for spousal support. During a live stream, she made harsh comments about him and hinted at their troubles in her new music.
Cardi performed “Outside” for the first time at Spotify’s Cannes event this week. In the song, she calls out unfaithful men and seems to aim some of the lyrics at Offset. The track had already leaked online and gone viral, but Cardi admits she doesn’t love the song herself.
With both singles dropping soon, the world will watch to see who wins this chart battle.
