Recording artist Cardi B is speaking about her financial affairs in a rant she posted on social media in response to shenanigans from her estranged husband OffSet.
The former Migos rapper and Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, purchased a Buckhead mansion in 2019 when they were newlyweds. Since then, the couple have split due to marital issues, including allegations of cheating.
Cardi’s latest tirade, this one expletive-laden, was sparked by a request for spousal support by OffSet’s attorney.
Talking on Spaces, Cardi B addresses Offset’s request for spousal support, saying she didn’t initially ask for child support to end their marriage quickly and has kept their house open for him to see their children, despite his infrequent visits. She says “It is not one day that he not allow to see my kid,” highlighting her efforts to facilitate his access.
She also details the extensive expenses she covers for their children, including a $45,000 school fee, a $3,000 weekly babysitter, and additional costs for tutors, piano lessons, and security due to threats against their daughter. “My kids got their own driver. The kids driver is on a retainer for ten thousand dollars a month.”
Cardi’s home is in one of the most expensive homes in Atlanta.
About the Atlanta Mansion, Cardi B Says:
- “The Atlanta house you have for me with the bill. The last year you have left me with the kids bill.”
- “Everyone had go over here and clap shit the fuck up cause at the end of day I’m paying for the bill in that shit cuz you haven’t paid shit for a whole year.”
- “But you know what you harass me so much with my when we were my nigga there I just want peace I want peas you wanna be with your bitch in this house all right fine just please leave me alone.”
Here is what Cardi had to say:
Cardi said last year that she no longer wanted the Atlanta home, but evidently she’s still paying for it.
Cardi has moved on, posting a provocative photo of herself with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who she’s been seen with publicly a handful of times.
This is getting juicy.

The hits just keep on coming for national burger chain Shake Shack. The popular restaurant has announced the opening of its second U.S. Support Center at The Battery Atlanta later this year.
The new Atlanta office will join the brand’s original Support Center in New York – where Shake Shack was founded in 2004 – and its international Support Center in Hong Kong, forming a global network that supports Shake Shack’s 336 domestic Company-owned Shacks and roughly 13,000 U.S.-based Team Members, and more than 250 licensed Shacks across 20 countries.
Together, these offices are key to driving the Company’s long-term goal of opening 1,500 domestic Company-owned Shacks and continued global growth.
“Shake Shack will always have a home in New York City – our birthplace and the culinary capital of the world,” said Rob Lynch, CEO at Shake Shack. “By expanding our Support Center footprint to Atlanta, we’ll have the tools needed to fuel our next stage of growth, with spaces dedicated to enhancing how our teams connect, train and innovate. The Battery Atlanta stood out as a vibrant, community-driven location that reflects our brand values and offers access to Atlanta’s incredible talent. This expansion supports our ultimate goal of helping our Shack operators win big and deliver Enlightened Hospitality in every community we serve.”
Located across Battery Avenue from Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, and next to the Coca-Cola Roxy, the over 25,000-square-foot office space will occupy Suite #100 in Two Ballpark Center. It will feature a state-of-the-art test kitchen and multiple training and meeting spaces, bringing the brand’s energy, innovation, and hospitality-forward spirit to Atlanta’s dynamic culinary landscape and thriving corporate community.
The new office space joins an impressive lineup of tenants and partners that have made The Battery Atlanta one of the region’s most vibrant mixed-use destinations.
In addition to the new Support Center opening later this year, Shake Shack will debut a new flagship restaurant at The Battery Atlanta this summer, introducing an exciting evolution of the brand. As the first full bar in Shake Shack’s company owned portfolio, this location will offer signature cocktails, classic cocktails, local craft beer, wine and more, all served alongside its beloved core menu.
“Shake Shack expanding into both office and restaurant spaces at The Battery Atlanta is a powerful testament to the dynamic environment we’ve built,” said Mike Plant, President and CEO of Braves Development Company.
“When looking for tenants, we knew Shake Shack was a perfect brand fit, not only because of their passionate fan base and employee first mentality, but also because of their deep-rooted focus on community and hospitality, which aligns perfectly with our vision of The Battery. We look forward to the long-term growth and collaboration this partnership will foster for both of our brands.”
As part of the new Atlanta Support Center, Shake Shack has also opened a Kitchen Innovation Lab just a short drive from The Battery Atlanta. The facility allows the brand’s Operations and Development teams to test new equipment and optimize kitchen layouts in a controlled environment to improve service speed and efficiency in new and current Shacks across the system.

Topgolf
1600 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, (404) 475-4000
Topgolf caters not to the golf fan so much, but the sports fan. With flat-screen TVs at every station, you can swing clubs or sit back and enjoy your game when you want it. Inside at the bar, you can see multiple screens from several vantage points while you eat and drink.
One Google reviewer says: “This is a really fun place for all age groups. If golf is not your thing, they also offer table tennis or ping pong upstairs and pool tables downstairs. The putting area is spacious. Of course it is outdoors, but they offer large heat lamps directly over the seating area. There are two levels to the seating area. The first is a high bar with chairs. The second is a u-shaped outdoor sofa with a center table. All food and drink orders can be placed from your bay. For each game, each player gets 20 chances to “put the ball in the hole”. You can take all 20 swings in a row or rotate players as you’d like. If you aren’t interested in playing any of the game options, you can also dine in or have a round at the bar. Enjoy!”
