When it comes to her relationship with her fiancé Offset, Cardi B wants people to mind their own business.
The 25-year-old rapper, who covers the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, slammed claims that she has ‘low self-esteem’ for staying with the Migos’ rapper after his alleged sex tape leaked, fueling rumors of infidelity.
‘It’s like everybody is coming down my neck like, “Why are you not leaving him? You have low self-esteem.” I don’t have low self-esteem … I know I look good,’ she told the magazine.

‘I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented. I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player,’ she continued. ‘But I want to work out my s**t with my man, and I don’t got to explain why. I’m not your property.’
Although she never confirmed or denied the allegations, she went on to say that people don’t know the whole story or her role in it.
‘This is my life … I’m going to take my time, and I’m going to decide on my decision … It’s not right, what he f**king did — but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel,’ she explained.

Start all over again and get cheated on again? This s**t happens to everyone,’ she wrote. ‘People handle they relationship different soo.’

Mommy moves? Cardi B was hit with fresh pregnancy rumors, following a TMZ report that claims her team revealed she was ‘three to four months’ along during a Super Bowl party
Just under two weeks ago, she was hit with fresh claims that she’s with child, with TMZ reporting that members of the rapper’s team made the revelation during her appearance at a Super Bowl party in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this month.
According to the site, after she performed at Maxim’s bash, a member of her team said that she didn’t want to be in the ‘party atmosphere’ of the VIP room reserved for her entourage as she’s ‘three to four months’ pregnant.
The New York native reportedly opted to remain in an area by the stage, where she sipped Fiji water while enjoying the bash.
Cardi B’s representatives have repeatedly denied claims that she’s pregnant, and she also shot down the rumors herself this month during an Instagram exchange with a fan.
After she shared a video of herself dancing, a follower inquired: ‘Is there maybe a Kylie Jenner secret that we need to know about lol Just asking,’ referring to the 20-year-old reality TV star, who declined to publicly confirm her recent pregnancy.
She responded: ‘No b**h I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace.’ [sic]
