Since bursting onto the scene with “Bodak Yellow,” Cardi B has hardly shied away from the spotlight. But the rapper’s love life has likely created more negative attention than she would have liked.

Ever since photos surfaced in December that reportedly show her fianceé — fellow rapper Offset — in bed with another woman, Cardi B has been battling critics of their relationship.

Despite breakup rumors, however, the couple’s engagement seems to be going strong. South West News Service (SWNS) reports that the couple was spotted smooching and snuggling in a 7/11 snack aisle yesterday.

A bystander told SWNS that the young couple looked “very much in love.”

“They were just doing what I thought were typical things that engaged people do, they were kissing and cuddling,” the source said.

The photos surface a week after Cardi B defended her relationship status in a series of now-deleted tweets: “Why do I have to explain myself?” she wrote. “I don’t ask ya why you still with that man that lives with his mom, that don’t pay your bills … Since when you guys had perfect relationships?”

The “Bartier Cardi” rapper also addressed the cheating scandal in a comment on Instagram.

“No it’s not right for a [n—-] to cheat. But what you want me to do?” she wrote. “Start all over again and get cheated on again? This s— happens to everyone … People handle [their] relationships differently.”

Although Cardi B seems intent on following her own instincts, regardless of rumors and public opinion, Offset is reportedly making a huge effort to win back her trust. He even got her name tattooed on his neck.

Cheating is never a good look, but Cardi B is right in that nobody knows the nature of a relationship other than the two people involved.
