Offset’s Mother Reportedly Hires Private Investigator to Spy on Cardi B Amid Divorce Drama
Rumors are swirling around the messy and very public split between rap superstars Cardi B and Offset, and this time, the spotlight has shifted to Offset’s family. According to multiple online sources, Offset’s mother has allegedly hired a professional private investigator to track Cardi B’s movements—from where she goes, to whom she meets, and even how she spends her private time.
If true, the move marks a new and deeply personal escalation in what has already become one of the most controversial celebrity divorces in recent memory.
A Family’s Desperate Gamble
Reports suggest that Offset’s mother, frustrated by what she perceives as public attacks from Cardi B and worried about her son’s reputation, decided to take matters into her own hands. The alleged goal: to find evidence that could be used against Cardi B in court—possibly relating to custody of their children, property division, or character disputes that could influence a judge’s perception.
A source quoted by entertainment outlets claims the investigator was tasked with monitoring Cardi B’s daily activities, including who she meets, where she travels, and what she posts on social media. The same source described the operation as “meticulous,” involving not just physical surveillance but also digital tracking—monitoring her interactions, recording her movements, and keeping detailed logs of her behavior.
While none of these claims have been independently verified, they’ve stirred heated debate about privacy, legality, and ethics in celebrity relationships.
Cardi B’s Reported Reaction
According to insiders close to the rapper, Cardi B was “furious and heartbroken” upon learning about the alleged surveillance. The star, known for her outspoken personality, reportedly views this as an invasion of her privacy and a sign that the trust between her and Offset’s family has completely collapsed.
“Cardi feels like she’s being hunted,” one source told Page Six. “She’s already dealing with the stress of the divorce, raising her kids, and constant public scrutiny—and now she has to worry about being followed? It’s too much.”
Legal experts have suggested that if proof of illegal surveillance emerges, Cardi B could pursue legal action not just against the investigator but also against whoever commissioned the operation. In the United States, stalking and unauthorized tracking—especially through GPS devices or private property intrusion—can lead to serious civil and criminal penalties.
Offset’s Mother Under Fire
Offset’s mother, Latabia Woodard, has previously been mentioned in several of Cardi B’s social-media outbursts. In early 2025, Cardi accused both Offset and his mother of “robbing” her and “playing with her peace,” claiming she had been mistreated by the family and left to provide for their children on her own.
These accusations—broadcast live on Instagram—quickly went viral, reigniting speculation that the rift between Cardi B and Offset’s family had been widening for months. The new rumor about the private investigator has added fuel to that fire, painting a picture of a toxic family feud spilling beyond the couple themselves.
Fans and commentators are divided. Some sympathize with Offset’s mother, suggesting she might simply be trying to protect her son during a high-stakes legal battle. Others argue that hiring a private investigator crosses a moral—and possibly legal—line, turning a personal disagreement into a full-blown vendetta.
The Legal and Ethical Minefield
Private investigators operate in a gray area of the law. In many jurisdictions, they are allowed to collect publicly available information, follow subjects in public spaces, and photograph or record without consent—as long as they don’t trespass or use illegal devices.
However, tracking a person’s phone, car, or private property without consent is a clear violation of privacy laws. If the investigator went beyond legal limits, both the detective and the client—the person who hired them—could face legal consequences.
