Why are Cardi B and Offset getting divorced?

A source told Page Six that the new rumours of Offset cheating on Cardi B was not the catalyst for the split, however may have been part of the reason.

“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” the insider claimed. “This is something she wants to do.”

They continued: “It’s not something that happened overnight… They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger overtime. It’s become unavoidable,” the insider added.
