Cardi B responds to claims Offset was abusive, calls their relationship 'dysfunctional'

In the last few months, the relationship between Cardi B and her rapper husband Offset has been nothing short of dramatic.

Just last month, Cardi announced she was filing for divorce from her husband of three years, saying she was tired "of not seeing things eye to eye".

Then earlier this week she revealed on Instagram Live that her and Offset, who share a three-year-old daughter, were going to give their relationship another go.

Now the 'WAP' rapper has taken to social media to defend her choice to reunite with her ex, hitting back at claims that he was abusive to her.

In a now-deleted tweet, Cardi described their relationship as "dysfunctional". She replied to a fan who called Offset an "abuser", saying "I'm the one that do the hitting and the s--t talking."

In another tweet, she said that she's still the same Cardi as before her relationship, but that she's a little calmer now. "This ain't Disney," she added. She went on to defend her relationship, assuring fans that they really had nothing to worry about.

Just before they reunited, Offset gifted Cardi a Rolls-Royce car for her birthday.

One fan Tweeted her recommending couples' therapy for the pair, because "cars, sex, and bags" can't fix a marriage. Cardi replied that Offset gave her gifts simply because she's spoiled, not to win her back.

She then shared a voice message, admitting that she "didn't wanna talk about her relationship because [she] knows that we're sick and tired of [her] going back and forth with Offset."

"I just hate when people start using certain words too loosely...when y'all start using the word 'abusive'...I'm not in a physical[ly] abusive relationship; I'm not in a mental[ly] abusive relationship. I have choice."

"If I wanna go to an extreme to teach [Offset] a f-----g lesson and f-----g file for divorce, I can do that. It's my life."

"Y'all don't even live with us...y'all don't know the f--- we be goin' through," Cardi continued in the voice memo.

Cardi and Offset first sparked reconciliation rumours when she and the 'Legacy' rapper were seen kissing at her 28th birthday party in Las Vegas this past weekend.

"We're just really, really, really just typical two young motherf---ers that got married early," she said on Instagram earlier this week. "That's just what we are... We're no different than y'all's dysfunctional a-- relationships."
