Offset, 31, also responded to the unfollowing incident on his Instagram Story, posting a Scarface clip featuring Al Pacino’s memorable line, “Hey, f— you, man! Who put this thing together? Me! Who do I trust? Me!”
Despite the recent developments, the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in September. Offset, in a grand gesture of love, adorned their home with massive bouquets of pink and red flowers. Cardi B reciprocated the affection on Instagram, thanking him for empowerment, protection, and being a great father to their children.
