Cardi B has been accused of lying about breaking up with Offset after she admitted to having sex with her estranged husband on New Year's Eve amid their split.

Rumors swirled about the pair's relationship after a video circulated on social media showing Cardi and Offset celebrating New Year's Eve together in a Miami strip club.

On Monday, Cardi took to X, formerly Twitter, to address the situation, admitting to spending the night with Offset but clarifying that they have not gotten back together.

"Was I clubbing with my baby daddy? Yes. Did I get d****d down on New Year's Eve? Yes. I needed d**k on New Year's Eve," she candidly shared in a live session that was captured and posted on X by fans.

"I don't consider that we're back together because the answer to getting back together is not a good night at the club," the rapper added.

Cardi, born Belcalis Almánzar, went on to say that she and Offset still love each other but that the issues in their relationship remain unresolved.

"We need to work on our s**t. We need to work on our communication. There are things that he needs to work on; there are things I need to work on. If we don't work that out, I don't feel that we're back together," she explained.

Cardi emphasized that "vibing, chilling, [and] drinking" together at the club doesn't fix their marital problems.

"It's a fun night, then guess what? The next day we're arguing. The next day I'm blocking [him]. The next [thing] you know, we're not talking for four days," she claimed.

Cardi also replied to an X user's post about her New Year's Eve celebration with Offset, writing: "and we not together.. we together when I say so, not when you THINK so."

However, not everyone took Cardi's explanation at face value. Some fans speculated that the breakup with Offset might have been a calculated "publicity stunt."

"Cardi B couldn't stand all the attention and love Nicki Minaj and her album has (sic) been getting so she pulled yet another publicity stunt lying about her and Offset splitting. However, it was a lie the whole time. The desperation is at an ALL TIME HIGH," one user claimed alongside a clip from Cardi's live session.

"She let her fans have it [because] they were right," another user speculated, referring to Cardi recently slamming those who claimed that she and Offset were back together.

But many supporters came to Cardi's defense.

"It was New Year's Eve, and she was probably lonely and would rather spend it with the father of her kids," one person noted.

"They acting like this is a crime or something," another pointed out.

After allegations of infidelity against her husband surfaced in early December, Cardi confirmed that she and Offset had called it quits after more than six years of marriage, saying on Instagram that she has "been single for a minute now."

But the two rappers have been spotted together multiple times since her announcement, raising eyebrows and prompting rumors of a potential reconciliation.

Cardi and Offset celebrated Christmas together with their daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2. The pair were also spotted by fans shopping in New York City.
