Cardi B reveals how much she spends on her kids in rant aimed at ex-husband Offset

Cardi B outlined her family's over-the-top finances as she made a dig at her estranged husband Offset in a social media stream posted over the weekend.
The 32-year-old rapper, who has three children with the artist - Kulture, six, Wave, three, and Blossom, eight months - said the rapper has not contributed a cent for their children since they split.
On X Spaces, Cardi said: 'A whole year straight, you have left me with the kids' bills. Y'all want to know what's the kids' bills? Start adding.'

Cardi continued: 'My kids got their own driver - they pick them up from school, they drop them off and they take them to gymnastics and boxing classes. The kids' driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.'
The rapper then audited the expensive school fees that she is solely footing the bill for, claiming that the children's father Offset has not offered any help at all.
She continued: 'Kulture's school this year - you didn't pay for it - that's $45,000.
'Wave's school a year is $35,000, which you didn't help me pay for it this year at all.'
She added that she pays a relative $3,000 weekly to babysit, and a nanny for their baby Blossom charges a daily fee of $500.
Cardi B then listed a series of other charges that she has been responsible for in the near-year since the couple's bitter breakup.
She said: 'Kulture and Wave get tutoring four times a week. Each hour is $250. Count that up.
'Kulture's piano class, that's $300 an hour and she gets piano classes three times a week.
'I'm not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave's boxing classes, but I pay that too.'
The performer was also critical of Offset seeking spousal support in the split, again itemizing the expenses she has paid for without his assistance.
Cardi said: 'Kiari, have I asked you for anything?
'You want spousal support so bad. And mind you, this is not even including food - my kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don't have time to cook.'
Cardi also said that Offset has 'seen Blossom only like five times' since her birth last fall.
Cardi added: 'I been trying to save your face. I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.'
The rapper filed for divorce from the musical artist in July of 2024, and petitioned the court for full custody of their three children.
She and Offset initially wed in 2017 and had previously filed for divorce in 2020, but eventually called it off.

Trump's top spy confirms worst fears about Iran after public rebuke from president as US prepares military strike

Tulsi Gabbard finally responded to claims that she said Iran did not have nuclear capabilities after Donald Trump called her 'wrong' on the issue. Trump's Director of National Intelligence had testified in March that the U.S. intelligence community 'continues to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.' She posted to X Friday that 'The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can't happen, and I agree.' Gabbard included video of her testimony from March that while the intelligence community suggests that, the Iranians appear clearly to have 'enriched uranium stockpiles at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.' She also noted that Iran 'contains a wide range of threats' to the United States and Israel. Gabbard said that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had 'not authorized a nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.' Trump said earlier Friday that Gabbard was wrong when she said that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. 'Well, then my intelligence community is wrong,' he said Friday at Joint Base Andrews, to a question about what evidence he had that Iran was building a nuclear bomb. But Trump said Friday as he was departing for his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club 'it looked like I'm right about the material that they've gathered already.' 'It is a tremendous amount of material and I think within a matter of weeks or certainly within a matter of months they will be able to have a nuclear weapon and we can't let that happen,' Trump said. After landing in New Jersey for an evening fundraiser for his super political action committee, Trump was asked about Gabbard's comments to Congress in March that U.S. spy agencies believed that Iran wasn't working on nuclear warheads. The president responded, 'Well then, my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?' Informed that it had been Gabbard, Trump said, 'She's wrong.' Still, disavowing Gabbard´s previous assessment came a day after the White House said Trump would decide within two weeks whether the U.S. military would get directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. It said seeking additional time was 'based on the fact that there´s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future.' But on Friday, Trump himself seemed to cast doubts on the possibility of talks leading to a pause in fighting between Israel and Iran. He said that, while he might support a ceasefire, Israel's strikes on Iran could be 'very hard to stop.' Asked about Iran suggesting that, if the U.S. was serious about furthering negotiations, it could call on Israel to stop its strikes, Trump responded, 'I think it´s very hard to make that request right now.' 'If somebody is winning, it´s a little bit harder to do than if somebody is losing,' Trump said. 'But we´re ready, willing and able, and we´ve been speaking to Iran, and we´ll see what happens.' The president later added, 'It´s very hard to stop when you look at it.' 'Israel´s doing well in terms of war. And, I think, you would say that Iran is doing less well. It´s a little bit hard to get somebody to stop,' Trump said. Earlier Friday, reported that Gabbard has been the target of a smear campaign from 'deep state' intelligence officials seeking to undermine her influence through strategic leaks as President Trump ponders whether to join Israel's war against Iran, those close to her tell the Daily Mail. Gabbard is in the room, helping the president and his team determine an informed path forward, these officials stressed, pushing back against multiple reports indicating that she's been sidelined. In fact, the president is calling on her, the sources claim. Multiple intelligence officials spoke with the Daily Mail about Trump's spy chief's schedule and work since Israel launched an attack on Iran last week, shedding light on a normally clandestine affair. 'All the National Security Council meetings she's in on, and then, I mean, there's lots of impromptu ones where he's calling her into the office,' one senior intelligence official shared. 'She's in there at all the key junctures,' the source added. 'She's been in every meeting,' a White House official told the Daily Mail, adding the DNI 'has not been sidelined whatsoever.' Reports have suggested that Trump has been advised by a smaller cohort, including VP J.D. Vance, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine. They say Gabbard and Pentagon Sec. Pete Hegseth are on the outside looking in. But these Gabbard allies told the Daily Mail the DNI has attended practically every crucial meeting at the White House and Situation Room since the conflict began. Vice President Vance also threw his weight behind Gabbard with a glowing social media post: 'She's an essential member of our national security team, and we're grateful for her tireless work to keep America safe from foreign threats.' The White House official added that Hegseth has also been an integral member of ongoing military discussions regarding the Middle East. Trump campaigned on decrying 'endless wars' and has vowed to be an international peacemaker. That's led some, even among conservatives, to point to Trump´s past criticism of the U.S. invasion of Iraq beginning in 2003 as being at odds with his more aggressive stance toward Iran now. Trump suggested the two situations were very different, though. 'There were no weapons of mass destruction. I never thought there were. And that was somewhat pre-nuclear. You know, it was, it was a nuclear age, but nothing like it is today,' Trump said of his past criticism of the administration of President George W. Bush. He added of Iran´s current nuclear program, 'It looked like I´m right about the material that they´ve gathered already. It´s a tremendous amount of material.' Trump also cast doubts on Iran's developing nuclear capabilities for civilian pursuits, like power generation. 'You´re sitting on one of the largest oil piles anywhere in the world,' he said. 'It´s a little bit hard to see why you´d need that.'

Scott Wolf breaks his silence after estranged wife's shocking arrest drama

Scott Wolf has broken his silence following the shocking 'arrest' of his estranged wife Kelley as he took to social media on Friday. The 57-year-old Party Of Five alumnus — whose divorce from Kelley was announced shortly before the incident — uploaded a photo to his Instagram stories as he prepared to embark on a trip with his three children. The actor shares Jackson, 16' Miller, 12; and Lucy, 11, with the his estranged wife, whom he had been married to for 21 years.

She had captured some of the moment via an Instagram Live at the time. In the latest image uploaded by Wolf, he had taken a snap from behind his kids as they made their way through a terminal inside an airport. He added text over the image which read: 'On the road with my forever squad,' followed by colorful heart emojis. Over the past weekend, Scott had an emotional reunion with his son Miller after he touched down in Salt Lake City on Father's Day. The pair could be seen embracing inside the crowded airport in photos exclusively obtained by It was also the actor's first public appearance since announcing his divorce from Kelley and her hospitalization by law enforcement. Wolf did not address the drama surrounding his estranged wife as well as their split as he jumped to his Instagram account. However, Kelley has since made new fiery claims after being released from the hospital, including that she was 'held against her will' just months earlier and that she initiated their separation over a year ago. She also sparked widespread concern after obtained 911 audio revealing she was taken away in handcuffs during a disturbing incident at a luxury Utah resort. According to the recording, Utah County Sheriff's deputies transported her to a hospital following what was described as a serious 'mental health' episode.

However, Kelley has since made new fiery claims after being released from the hospital - including that she was 'held against her will' just months ago and that she initiated their separation over a year ago After breaking her silence with a bizarre Instagram post showing her hospital band while sitting at a bar - captioned simply 'Hi' and 'God bless us' - Kelley returned to social media with even more incendiary accusations. In her latest post, she claimed that 'a small but very vocal group' of friends 'had me held against my will,' saying their justification was that they were 'worried' about her. Her blunt response? 'Wow. F*** them.' She also doubled down on her separation timeline, writing that she 'initiated' the split from Scott Wolf 'a year ago.' has not received a response to its request for comment from Scott Wolf. Kelley elaborated on what she described as a disturbing intervention attempt by friends, accusing them of overstepping while disguising control as concern. 'They called the cops from a beach town in Florida or somewhere seaside… while sipping cocktails,' she wrote in her Instagram post. 'That's not love. That's control. 'What happened was legal. But it wasn't right,' she continued. 'And it should never be that easy to weaponize concern - especially against women.' In a separate post, Kelley claimed, 'Apparently, I'm also one of the strongest women a certain mental hospital has ever met.' She added, 'I was offered medication. I refused every single one. I laid in bed for five days - sober, clear, and calm.' In her latest post, she claimed that 'a small but very vocal group' of friends 'had me held against my will,' saying their justification was that they were 'worried' about her Addressing the status of her relationship with Wolf, Kelley wrote that she 'initiated a separation almost a year ago' and has been 'trying to file for divorce for months,' blaming the delay on 'legal counsel.' 'Yes, the official petition came from the other party, but let the record show: I've been grieving this marriage for years,' she shared. Despite the turmoil, Kelley said being single is 'surprisingly great,' and hinted at future possibilities: 'But one day, I might get married again.' For now, her focus is on healing and family. 'I'll be by the pool. With my kids. Living my actual, beautiful, grounded, powerful life.' This comes after eerie new details emerged about the shock video of Kelley. In the clip she insisted that she would 'go on my own,' before one of the officers was heard asking: 'You got that arm?' followed by what seemed to be the sound of handcuffs clicking shut. A deputy assured her she was 'not going to jail,' while adding that she 'made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern - are concerning.' Kelley claimed: 'I think this is shameful and Scott Wolf has been abusing me and now you're abusing me more.' There is no indication that these allegations are true. It is unclear what Kelley meant by 'abuse.' While Scott has yet to address her abuse allegations, his close pal Billy Bush shut down the claims in a video last week. Billy began the reel by stating that Wolf was one of his 'very best friends' and expressed, 'Right now there is a video floating around. His wife had Instagram Live on and she's being apprehended by police and they're taking her in. 'And at the end she says, "Scott Wolf has been abusing me." I know both Kelley and Scott very, very well... And I can tell you this. There is zero truth to anything abusive by Scott.' Bush added that the Party Of Five actor is 'the kindest, sweetest person. He is everything you see and think you know about him when you see him. 'He is all of that and more. And Kelley is getting the help she needs. And I can tell you, I've talked to her myself one-on-one personally about it,' he added. Toward the end of the clip, the TV host said, 'She's got excellent parents. They're on it. She's a beautiful person. And so is Scott. 'So, just want you to know that and it will unfold but that is the case.' Authorities also gave their side of the story behind the disturbing footage - and revealed where they took her after she was detained. The incident unfolded last week on Friday at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah, where Kelley had been staying, according to People. A press release by local law enforcement said: 'Deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help. Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies. For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.' A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriff's Office explained further: 'Typically, when we transport somebody in any of our patrol vehicles, they are placed in properly-fitted hand restraints, just for their protection and our protection as law enforcement as well.' The spokesperson continued: 'So that's what happened today: she was placed in hand restraints, placed into a vehicle, and transported by our deputies to a hospital.' Early in the footage, Kelley could be heard saying: 'Oh my God, this is not happening! Fine, I'll go. I'll go on my own. Please, I'll go on my own!' 'You got that arm?' said one of the deputies, and a noise that sounded like handcuffs being applied was then distinctly audible, as Kelley said: 'Wow. Wow.' She lambasted the officers: 'This is shameful, gentlemen. Look at this. Look at this woman. This is shameful. Be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.' One of the deputies said: 'You're not going to jail,' followed by another sentence that was drowned out as Kelley, a life coach, snapped: 'I know what I'm doing. I've done this. This is my job. Shame on all of you.' 'You've made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern - are concerning,' explained one of the officers. Kelley then directed their attention to the fact the exchange was being recorded on her phone, saying: 'You might wanna turn this off. It's on. Would you like to turn it off? You want me to turn it off?' She clarified for the officers that she 'didn't mean to' stream the incident, and one of the policemen offered: 'I can turn it off if you'd like me to,' to which she said: 'Please turn it off. Please.' By the end of the video, Kelley was finally visible, asking the deputies to hand her the phone so that she could switch it off on her own. She later posted an Instagram Stories photo of her personal effects laid out in front of her, including a handbag, a Gatorade bottle and a baseball cap. 'This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check in on my kids. Also... I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been,' she wrote. 'I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA.' Kelley added: 'I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly. In the meantime, be kind to each other. This is one of the darkest things I've ever experienced.' The astonishing episode follows Scott's statement on the divorce, which he issued after Kelley announced their split in a cryptic Instagram post days before. Before the divorce announcement, Kelley had also posted a cryptic message to her followers about wanting to 'tell the truth' and feeling 'misunderstood.' She tied the knot with the Doc actor back in 2004, and the estranged couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary last month in May.

Holiday hotspot overrun with movie fans celebrating Jaws' 50th anniversary

Martha's Vineyard has been overrun with movie fans celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 'Jaws' film. The Steven Spielberg film debuted on June 20, 1975, and became a quick success in the film industry. It broke box office records and won three Oscars for best music, best film editing and best sound. The thriller takes place on the fictional Amity Island, which is based on Martha's Vineyard off the Massachusetts coast, and follows police chief Martin Brody, who works to hunt down the antagonist great white shark, with the help of others. Fifty years later, those who made 'Jaws' popular are flocking to Martha's Vineyard to celebrate the film, and the locals have a bunch of fun activities in store for them. Martha's Vineyard is already a popular tourist destination with as many as 200,000 visitors during the summer, USA TODAY reported, citing the local Chamber of Commerce. This weekend, officials expect tens of thousands more visitors than usual. Hotels are fully booked and Jaws fans are ready for a plethora of movie-themed events, including the film, a documentary about its production, a live performance of the movie's score and more, according to the Chamber of Commerce's Executive Director Erica Ashton and Deputy Director Alessandra Hagerty. 'There's like 'Jaws' mania, pretty much,' Hagerty told USA TODAY. Visitors can also attend parties with some of the 'Jaws' cast and crew, get 'Jaws'-themed merchandise at the local shops and restaurants, and attend a baseball game for the local Sharks team. Michael Currid, owner of Edgartown Tour Company, told USA TODAY that he's already had 'exponentially more' advance bookings for his 'Jaws' walking tour, where visitors can follow the path taken by police chief Brody in the film, than he has in 15 years. 'I'm confident that, at least from the 'Jaws' side, this will be my biggest season ever,' he said. While the 'Jaws' anniversary has inspired some fun events that are sure to support Martha's Vineyard's tourism effort, it's also important to remember the essential role sharks play in the ecosystem and how to keep yourself safe in open waters. Great white sharks are the only natural predators of seals in the waters along Cape Cod, according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. 'When apex predators are absent, food web dynamics can be disrupted - populations of prey species can grow unchecked and may in turn limit populations of their prey,' the conservancy wrote on its website. While sharks can be interesting to learn about, it's important to follow a few safety tips so you don't encounter them in the wild. The National Park Service says to be aware that sharks hunt for seals in shallow water and to stay close to the shore where rescuers can reach you. It's also important to limit splashing and avoid murky water, according to the service.
