Cardi B’s ex-husband Offset seems ready to give love a second chance. Amid the ongoing divorce, the Migos rapper was spotted with a new woman during a shopping spree in Dubai on New Year’s Eve, TMZ reports.

Offset spotted with a model in Dubai
Offset, who was in Dubai to perform a series of concerts, kept things casual during his New Year’s Eve shopping outing.

But it wasn’t just a one-time outing. The next day, Offset and Melanie were seen once again enjoying the sights of the city, this time with Melanie in a striped, skin-tight midi dress. While confirmation of the relationship status is still pending from the rapper’s side, he was seen as more relaxed maintaining his laid-back style while exploring the city.
The rapper’s public outings come as his divorce from Cardi B, which was filed five months ago, continues to make headlines. The couple, who had been together for nearly seven years, share two children, daughter Kulture and son Wave, and were expecting their third child when the divorce was announced.

In July 2024, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset for the second time. Surprisingly, just a day later, she announced her third pregnancy. Things went ugly when Offset publicly accused Cardi of ‘sleeping with someone else’ during her pregnancy. Cardi responded, seemingly confirming his accusation, before vehemently criticizing him, stating that she was “too much woman” for him.
