Cardi B’s “Outside” tops Apple Music as Offset drama intensifies

Cardi B’s latest single “Outside” has soared to the top of the U.S. Apple Music chart, according to ChartData, following its official release on Friday.

The track had already sparked buzz online after snippets leaked weeks prior. On the song, Cardi delivers a scathing diss aimed at her estranged husband, Offset.

Lyrics like “They gon’ f--- on anything, these n----- way too easy… Next time you see your momma, tell her how she raised a b*tch,” have fueled speculation about the depth of their personal rift. Cardi later admitted she originally had no plans to release the song, telling fans, “I made this song a few months ago when I was very, very angry.”

The single’s success comes amid her new relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Though rumors of the romance circulated for months, the pair only went Instagram official last month. Afterward, Offset posted a cryptic message on X: “Good roll out n PR. Today I pass.”

Tensions escalated further when Diggs appeared at Patriots practice sporting matching braids with Offset’s son, Wave. Offset responded furiously, posting: “Now when somebody die for playing with my son then call me the crash out,” before deactivating his social media.

As “Outside” climbs charts and fans await Cardi’s sophomore album, the public fallout with Offset and her high-profile romance with Diggs continue to dominate headlines.
