Not in this case as Cardi B revealed in the exclusive interview how she "always" wanted her husband's children to love her.

"They tell me that. I feel it, and I hope that we always have a great relationship.”
The Migos rapper chimed in, telling the publication it's a "blessing" to have them all together and to have a wife like Cardi who embraces his children like her own.
"It could be an issue, but I don’t have to go through that, and that’s beautiful," he said.

Cardi and Offset don’t put love first, which made their relationship stronger
Interesting take for sure, however, the "Clout" rapper explained the couple's stance on not putting love first but having a foundation which has been working for their relationship dynamic.
"It might sound weird, but we don’t always put love first—because sometimes you can put love before work and mess up your career, because you’re not focused,” he explains.
“Love is important, but if you’ve got that foundation, we should respect each other and what we have going on. I had never experienced a woman that was working like me and doing what I’m doing. It turns me on. She does her own thing. She likes the hustle, so that ain’t never getting in between our love."
Cardi was hesitant on Offset looking at her contracts
Mixing business with pleasure is never the way to go for some folks, even if your significant other has suggestions on certain business decisions.
The Bronx native shared how she wasn't comfortable sharing her contracts with Offset in the building as she was still getting to know him.
"From the beginning, I remember he used to ask to see my contracts, and I would be like, ’Boy, I don’t know you like that,’” Cardi shared.
“But when I started letting him in on more things, I started seeing things differently. People have cut me short a lot, and ever since I have involved him in my business, I’ve been doing so much better. Sometimes people will make you feel you deserve less than what you’re worth.”
