Cardi B has opened up about her messy split with her ex-husband, Offset, who helped her during her tough times.
The Please Me starlet appeared in a Jay Shetty podcast on Monday, October 6, where she revealed that Shakira encouraged her to part ways with her former partner.
"Last year, I was planning to put out an album, but I couldn’t focus. I fell into the deepest depression that I had ever had. And with that depression, I couldn’t function; I couldn’t function at anything. And when I talk about function, it’s not even like, oh, just working. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t do anything," Cardi said.
The mom-of-three additionally remarked, "Around that time, I was working with Shakira and I was like, ‘How the f*** did you overcome this? Like, how did you overcome this?"
Notably, she recalled her conversation with Shakira, who also ended her decade-long relationship with her ex, Gerard Piqué, after two kids.
