Cardi B appeared to deny rumors of a reconciliation with her estranged husband, Offset, after the pair spent Christmas together with their daughter Kulture, five, and son Wave, two.
The Grammy-winning artist, 33, took to X on Wednesday to ‘like’ a meme about fabricating stories, suggesting the recent gossip about the former couple getting back together was false.
The meme features a throwback scene from The Real Housewives of Atlanta where star Kandi Burruss calls out her castmate Porsha Williams for creating false narratives, saying, ‘You just made that up.’
Cardi’s support for the meme comes hours after she and Offset set the internet ablaze after they reunited to watch their two children open gifts at a family gathering.
The holiday festivities followed the news of the hip hop royals’ split, which recently caused the mother-of-two to break down during an emotional Instagram Live.
In an Instagram Story, uploaded by Cardi B on Monday, the former couple’s kids looked overjoyed as they unwrapped presents as a family.
Kulture looked absolutely adorable as she reacted to receiving a pair of Powerpuff Girls x Nike from her dad while Offset encouraged Wave to ‘rip’ open him rocket toy.
Fans were quick to react to the video on X (previously known as Twitter), as some speculated whether the duo got back together or are just amicable coparents.
‘Most chaotic couple ever,’ one X user wrote, while another quipped that they ‘thought it would at least take until 2024 before Cardi ran back to Offset again.’
A third, however, pointed out: ‘They never said they was back together jut because he there for Christmas.’
Others praised how they are handling ‘co-parenting without making any scandal.’
‘At least they are able to be adults for their daughter… she deserves to have both parents present on Christmas,’ another wrote.
On Christmas Eve, Cardi B took fans on a tour of the holiday-decorated home, showing off her long red-painted nails.
The singer enjoyed a festive Christmas Eve ahead of a New Year’s Eve concert slated for Miami.
The New York City native, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, topped off the seasonal fun showcasing that she had separate Christmas trees for her two kids.
The Bongos performer captioned the post: ‘Merry Christmas eve. From my home to yours,’ thanking the business David Christopher’s, Inc. for their efforts in converting her home into a winter wonderland.
The home itself was decorated by a massive green tree with huge silver ball ornaments and gold highlights, with gift boxes flanking the impressive centerpiece.

‘Merry Christmas from my family to yours,’ she said in the clip, as the sound of Salsa music could be heard in the background.
She panned over her dining room, saying it was not finished yet – it was missing ‘wallpaper and an art piece’ but ‘decorated real pretty’ all the same.
‘When I finish my dining room, I’m gonna tell you more about it,’ she said.
As for the kids’ tress, Kulture’s tree had a white base with pink-themed highlights and Hello Kitty toys cropped in different areas.
‘This is my daughter’s Christmas tree, it’s Hello Kitty, and this is my son’s Christmas tree, it’s Baby Shark,’ she said.
Wave’s tree had a silver base with light blue highlights and ribbons.
In another sequence she shared to Instagram Stories, the I Like It artist panned over a variety of tins containing different foods, including barbecued chicken, ribs, pork, rice, cornbread and stew.
A number of the popular star’s 169 million Instagram followers chimed in the comment section to wish her happy holidays and marvel at the display, which one person described as ‘royal.’
One user said, ‘Separate Trees is a flex I didn’t even know I wanted,’ while another added, ‘To see you being able to do this for WHOLE family is so dope.’
Said one fan: Can I just come to your house to take pictures by the trees … I promise I won’t bother you.’
Another user said, ‘Now this is how you celebrate…. One of these days I’ll be wealthy enough to do this!!!’
