In June, Offset alleged that Cardi B, his wife of six years, cheated on him. Cardi B denied it, throwing insults Offset’s way in the process. The following month, they dropped “Jealousy,” a track from Offset’s Set It Off album featuring Cardi B, leading people to believe that their public spat had been promotional material.

But it hasn’t been smooth sailing post-“Jealousy.” In September, Cardi B had to shut down more cheating rumors. Last week, fans noticed that Cardi B and Offset had unfollowed each other on Instagram, and on Sunday, December 10, Cardi B spoke out again — only this time, she didn’t deny breakup speculation.

Why Did Cardi B And Offset Break Up?

During an Instagram Live on December 10 (as captured by Pop Crave), Cardi B confirmed she is single and “have been single for a minute.” Read her full comments (and see the video) below:

“I don’t know if you guys been getting clues from me from Lives or my Stories, when I put some certain music or find my unfollowings. When it comes for today’s events and stuff, I don’t know if it’s — I don’t think it’s true. I don’t care to find out because I have been single for a minute now. But I have been afraid to like — not afraid. I just don’t know how, like, to tell the world. But I feel like today has been like a sign.

“The last time I got on Live, I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I was like, I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now, and I just took it as a sign. So, I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don’t know, I’m curious for a new life — for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”

As for “today’s events,” Cardi B was likely referring to Blueface alleging in a since-deleted post that Chrisean Rock “f*cked Cardi B’s husband a couple of weeks ago.” Offset replied, “I ain’t never talk [to] or touch that lady. Real talk man you need some help!”

At this point, we have no idea why exactly Cardi B and Offset broke up — not that it’s any of our business. Maybe Cardi will provide more details on her forthcoming (and very long-awaited) next album due “next year,” as she told Andy Cohen in September.

Cardi B and Offset privately married in September 2017 and share two children, Kulture and Wave. Catch up on the many twists and turns of their relationship here.

The ongoing RICO trial against Young Thug and YSL was unexpectedly suspended due to a stabbing at Fulton County Jail. The victim was one of Young Thug’s co-defendants Shannon Stillwell, according to local news, with Judge Ural Glanville telling the jury, “We had a medical issue come up with one of our participants, so we’re going to recess for the day.”

Fulton County Jail has had a well-publicized recent history of violence, with a capacity of just 1,125 inmates and a population nearly three times that at 3,000. A November report counted 10 inmate deaths this year alone, making Fulton one of the nation’s deadliest. In fact, Young Thug and Gunna paid bail for 30 inmates in 2021 so they could go home and be with their families after being held on minor charges but being unable to pay their bonds.

Thug and Gunna both repeatedly requested bond hearings in the lead-up to the trial, only to be denied each time, with prosecutors arguing they were a danger to the community and a flight risk. Gunna eventually accepted a plea deal in which he pled guilty to being part of a gang in exchange for time served. While it’s clear the prosecution wants to use plea deals like Gunna’s as evidence that YSL is a gang rather than a music label, some fans (and peer artists) remain convinced Gunna “snitched” for his reduced sentence — even though they maintain, like the defense, that YSL is not a gang (and thus, Gunna wouldn’t have anything to tell in the first place, right?).

Some hyper-specific TV history was made on Sunday: Lifetime aired its first Christmas movie with a sex scene.

A Cowboy Christmas Romance stars Jana Kramer as Lexie Crenshaw, a big-city real estate agent who — you’ll never believe it — returns to her small hometown around the holidays. While there, she meets a Yellowstone-like rancher named Coby (Adam Senn), who she has to convince to sell his property. Would you believe these mismatched opposites fall for each other?

Lexie also falls into a pile of hay in the history-making sex scene.

Technically, the flirtation begins with Coby lifting Lexie up onto a kitchen counter so they can make out, but when they’re interrupted, they find sexy solitude in a barn. Coby dramatically takes off his shirt in front of an impressed Lexie (“Merry Christmas to me”), who is sitting on the dirty, hay-covered ground. He moves her to what looks like a massage table, but just as they’re ready to knock (cowboy) boots, the action cuts to the next morning. Even the Helen Lovejoys that make up the Parents Television Council wouldn’t be able to find anything objectionable about A Cowboy Christmas Romance.

“When I saw the stuff in the kitchen,” A Cowboy Christmas Romance writer Sarah Drew told Entertainment Weekly about the scene, “I was like, ‘Exactly what I wrote. You nailed it. You guys are in it. I am thrilled.’ I had it written in my stage direction: He hoists her onto the countertop. He moves things out of the way. Like, go in there. Go in!”

Leave the World Behind is now streaming on Netflix, and viewers have been taking to social media to voice one very specific complaint about the apocalyptic thriller starring Julia Roberts: It’s too damn long.

Directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, the film centers on Roberts and Ethan Hawke as a husband and wife whose vacation is disrupted by Mahershala Ali bearing news of terrifying cyberattack. While the premise has a compelling hook, even positive reviews for Leave the World Behind that this thing is long. With a runtime of two hours and 21 minutes, viewers seem to think the film could’ve used some editing even if they mostly liked it.

“Enjoyed this year’s Xmas apocalypse from Netflix (Leave the World Behind),” Chris Humphreys wrote. “A small film, with a real sense of foreboding. As all too common, too long.”

“It’s a suspenseful, engaging view that was perhaps stretched a lil too long,” MALI wrote. “It will grow on you, and then you might get tired of it. However, it’s worth the watch cuz the performance was brilliant.”

Other people were not so generous as the “too long” complaints were even more viscerally noted in the negative reviews:

“Just finished that Leave the World Behind movie and I’m so mad,” Victoria tweeted. “Like what happened. It was so long too lmao.”

You can see more reactions below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Amanda (Academy Award winner Julia Roberts) and her husband Clay (Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke), rent a luxurious home for the weekend with their kids, Archie (Charlie Evans) and Rose (Farrah Mackenzie). Their vacation is soon upended when two strangers — G.H. (Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali) and his daughter Ruth (Myha’la Herrold) — arrive in the night, bearing news of a mysterious cyberattack and seeking refuge in the house they claim is theirs.

Leave the World Behind is available for streaming on Netflix.
