In October 2025, rapper Cardi B, 32, opened up about seeking advice from fellow musician Shakira on overcoming heartbreak. Cardi had filed for divorce from her husband Offset in July 2024 after seven years of marriage, and she was struggling with the emotional toll.
Cardi explained that while her mind and actions had moved on, her heart took longer to fully accept the end of the relationship. She then recounted working with Shakira in 2023, about a year after Shakira's split from longtime partner Gerard Piqué. Cardi said she asked Shakira, "How the f--- did you overcame this?" and Shakira reassured her that the healing process would happen, even if it felt impossible at the time.
Cardi credited Shakira's guidance and her own inner strength for helping her emerge from the breakup as her "strongest" self. She expressed a desire to instill that resilience in her children, saying, "I want you to be a 100 times better version than me."
