Though she did not clear up much, Cardi B did address her romance with Offset after speculation that her latest single “Be Careful” was about the father of three, who was rumored to have made a sex tape and engaged in an affair with another woman in January.

“Our relationship was like, first we liked each other but we were protective of each other. People put things in your ears. I got to protect my heart. But then I gave in,” she said.

In February, Cardi B denied pregnancy rumors on social media after a fan asked, “Is there maybe a Kylie Jenner secret that we need to know about lol Just asking,” referring to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star, 20, who only confirmed her pregnancy after her daughter Stormi was born.

“No bitch I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace,” Cardi B responded.
