On August 8, 2025, the hip-hop world was set ablaze when DJ Akademiks, a polarizing media personality, took to his livestream to unveil a shocking list of high-profile women Offset allegedly cheated on his estranged wife, Cardi B, with during their tumultuous seven-year marriage. The explosive allegations, made during a fiery response to Offset’s recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, included names like Chrisean Rock, Ari Fletcher, Saweetie, and several others, sending shockwaves across social media platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok. As Cardi B navigates her new relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs and the release of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, the revelations have sparked outrage, heartbreak, and heated debates among fans, raising questions about loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of celebrity relationships.

Akademiks’ Explosive Livestream

The drama unfolded during a late-night livestream on Akademiks’ Rumble channel, where he reacted to Offset’s comments on The Joe Budden Podcast. Offset, promoting his upcoming solo album Kiari, set for release on August 22, 2025, had stirred controversy by claiming none of his exes, including Cardi B, had “upgraded” after leaving him. He specifically took a jab at Cardi’s rumored romance with Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs, calling their relationship the “unseasoned” version of his own. Akademiks, visibly frustrated by Offset’s remarks, didn’t hold back, alleging that the former Migos rapper had been unfaithful to Cardi with a string of women, some of whom were her collaborators and even fans who commented on her social media posts.

“Offset f–ked Chrisean, Ari Fletcher, Saweetie, 10 b–ches from Starlets,” Akademiks declared, his voice laced with incredulity. “Offset just had random b–ches popping up to the crib. The worst… there’s two more names too, I don’t even want to mention. When I heard those names, I was flabbergasted.” He went on to claim that Offset’s infidelities extended to women who publicly supported Cardi, leaving comments like “Yo, I love you, queen” under her Instagram posts while secretly engaging with her husband. “That’s typical dog s–t,” Akademiks added, accusing Offset of knowing he was “on some f–k s–t” but being unable to handle Cardi moving on.

The livestream, which garnered over 2 million views, ignited a firestorm on social media. Clips of Akademiks’ rant spread rapidly, with fans dissecting the allegations and expressing a mix of shock, anger, and disappointment. The hashtag #OffsetCheated trended on X, with one user posting, “Offset was out here wilding while Cardi was holding it down? That’s low.” Another wrote, “Akademiks spilling all this tea, but Cardi deserves better than this mess.” The revelations have added fuel to the ongoing narrative of Cardi and Offset’s rocky relationship, which has been plagued by infidelity rumors since their 2017 marriage.

The High-Profile Names

Akademiks’ list of alleged paramours included several well-known figures, amplifying the scandal’s impact. Chrisean Rock, a rapper and reality TV star, was previously linked to Offset in rumors that she denied in 2023. Ari Fletcher, an influencer and ex-girlfriend of rapper G Herbo, was another name dropped, surprising fans given her public persona as a businesswoman. Perhaps the most shocking claim involved Saweetie, the “Best Friend” rapper and ex-girlfriend of Offset’s Migos bandmate Quavo. Saweetie had previously shut down similar rumors, tweeting in 2022, “I don’t do messy, keep my name out of it.” However, Akademiks’ allegations reignited speculation, with fans pointing to the rumored tension between Saweetie and Cardi as evidence.

Akademiks also alluded to “10 b–ches from Starlets,” referring to dancers from the famous New York strip club, and claimed Offset slept with women Cardi was collaborating with on her long-delayed sophomore album. “Could this be the reason her album took so long to complete?” he mused, suggesting that Offset’s actions disrupted Cardi’s creative process. The unnamed “two more names” added an air of mystery, with fans speculating about other celebrities or influencers who might be involved. “Who are these mystery women? Akademiks holding out on the tea!” one X user tweeted.

The accusations painted a picture of Offset’s alleged recklessness, with Akademiks claiming he was “piping everybody out” while Cardi was unaware. Fans expressed outrage, particularly over the betrayal of women who publicly supported Cardi. “These girls commenting ‘queen’ under Cardi’s posts while messing with Offset? That’s snake behavior,” one Instagram user commented. Another wrote, “Saweetie was supposed to be Cardi’s friend. This is why women don’t trust each other in the industry.”

Cardi B’s Response and New Chapter

Cardi B, who filed for divorce from Offset for the third time in August 2024, has not directly addressed Akademiks’ latest allegations. However, her recent social media activity suggests she’s unfazed by the drama, focusing instead on her music and new relationship with Stefon Diggs. On August 9, she posted a teaser for her upcoming single “Imaginary Players,” approved by JAY-Z, from her album Am I the Drama?, set for release on September 19, 2025. The post, captioned “Bardi Gang, we outside!” garnered millions of likes, with fans praising her resilience. “Cardi’s out here winning while Offset’s getting exposed,” one supporter commented.

Cardi’s romance with Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, has been a focal point since rumors surfaced in early 2025. The pair were spotted together at a New York Knicks game in March, sparking speculation that Cardi had moved on. Offset’s comments on The Joe Budden Podcast appeared to take aim at this relationship, prompting Akademiks to retaliate with the infidelity allegations. In a previous Instagram Live, Cardi addressed Offset’s accusations of her own infidelity, admitting she began talking to other men in June 2024 while pregnant with their third child, daughter Blossom, born September 7, 2024. “I don’t care if you move on, so why you mad when I do?” she said, clapping back at Offset’s attempts to “threaten” her with financial control.

Cardi’s fans, known as the Bardi Gang, have rallied behind her, condemning Offset’s alleged actions. “Cardi was pregnant, raising Kulture and Wave, and Offset was out here with Saweetie? Disgusting,” one X user wrote. Another tweeted, “Cardi deserves a king like Stefon Diggs, not Offset’s nonsense.” The support reflects Cardi’s enduring popularity and her ability to connect with fans through her authenticity and transparency about her personal struggles.

Offset’s Silence and Past Controversies

Offset, 33, has remained silent on Akademiks’ allegations, consistent with his statement on The Joe Budden Podcast that he won’t engage in a public feud with Cardi due to their shared children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 11 months. “I’m not gonna take shots at her in music,” he said, noting that Cardi’s single “Outside” was recorded before their latest fallout, with Offset present in the studio. However, his comments about Cardi not “upgrading” with Diggs drew backlash, with fans accusing him of hypocrisy given the cheating allegations.

Offset’s history of infidelity has been a recurring issue in his marriage to Cardi. In 2018, Cardi publicly called him out for cheating, leading to a brief separation. The couple reconciled, but rumors persisted, with Offset’s alleged involvement with other women surfacing periodically. Akademiks’ claims align with these past controversies, painting Offset as a serial cheater who betrayed Cardi’s trust repeatedly. “Offset’s been doing this since day one. Cardi gave him too many chances,” one fan tweeted.

The Internet’s Reaction

Social media has been ablaze with reactions, with fans divided between outrage and skepticism. Many expressed heartbreak for Cardi, who has been open about the emotional toll of her marriage. “Cardi was working on her album, raising kids, and Offset was out here with strippers? She deserves better,” one Instagram user wrote. Others questioned Akademiks’ motives, noting his history of stirring drama. “Akademiks always in somebody’s business. Where’s the proof?” one X user asked.

The allegations against Saweetie, in particular, sparked heated debate, with some fans criticizing her for allegedly betraying Cardi. “Saweetie was all ‘yass queen’ on Cardi’s page, but sleeping with her man? Fake,” one user commented. However, others defended Saweetie, pointing to her past denials. “Y’all believe Akademiks over Saweetie? No receipts, just vibes,” another wrote. Chrisean Rock, who also denied past rumors, faced similar scrutiny, with fans calling for accountability across the board.

A Tumultuous Time for Cardi

The revelations come at a pivotal moment for Cardi, who is riding high off the success of her single “Outside” and preparing for her album release. Her relationship with Diggs, confirmed by their public appearances and flirty Instagram exchanges, has been a bright spot amid her divorce proceedings. However, Akademiks’ allegations have cast a shadow, reminding fans of the challenges Cardi faced during her marriage. “Cardi’s been through so much, but she’s still shining,” one fan tweeted, sharing a clip of her performing at a recent concert.

The drama has also sparked broader conversations about loyalty and respect in the music industry, particularly for women. “Cardi’s out here breaking barriers, and Offset was disrespecting her with her own collaborators? That’s foul,” one X user wrote. Others praised Cardi’s strength, with one commenting, “She’s a mom, a mogul, and a superstar. Offset’s loss.”

Looking Ahead

As Cardi prepares for her album drop and Offset focuses on his own music, the fallout from Akademiks’ allegations is far from over. Fans are eagerly awaiting Cardi’s response, if any, and whether Offset will address the claims. For now, the Bardi Gang remains firmly in Cardi’s corner, celebrating her resilience and new chapter with Diggs. “Cardi’s too iconic to let this stop her,” one fan tweeted. “Offset’s out here looking like the unseasoned one now.”

The scandal has cemented Cardi B’s status as a cultural force, navigating personal betrayal while dominating the charts. As the internet continues to buzz with memes, hot takes, and support for Cardi, one thing is clear: her story of strength and survival resonates louder than any rumor, and her next move will be watched closely by millions.
