“I just don’t like that bashing online thing.”

Offset, a member of the rap group Migos, drew a lot of negative attention online when he interrupted Cardi B’s set at music festival Rolling Loud to apologise for indiscretions in their relationship, and begged her to take him back.

Cardi B and Offset have one child together, but announced their split earlier this month amongst rumours that Offset had been unfaithful.

Many online criticised his stunt at Rolling Loud as abusive and entitled.

On Sunday, Cardi B put a video on Instagram asking those criticising Offset to take a step back, saying: “I see a lot of people bashing me because, they’re feeling because I’m defending my baby-father that I’m gonna get back together with him. I’m not saying I’m gonna get back together with him.

“I just don’t like that bashing online thing.”

The ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper compared the abuse received by Offset to the abuse received by Pete Davidson, following his break-up with pop-star Ariana Grande.

“Earlier, you saw Pete Davidson saying that he doesn’t even wanna be on this earth anymore, because made people be coming at him every single day.

“I wouldn’t want my baby-father to have that feeling because millions of people be bashing him every day.

“I know how painful it is when you have millions of people bashing you every single day. I don’t like that, and it doesn’t make me feel any better. Period.”
