*As you no doubt know by now, over the weekend, Offset showed up at the Rolling Loud Los Angeles hip hop festival/concert and bum-rushed Cardi B‘s headlining set to get his Keith Sweat on and beg her to take him back.
Well, to some, it looks like the whole thing may have been staged because of something that came to light in a video, but Cardi B ain’t buying it.
In the vid, Offset appears onstage — seemingly out of nowhere — with a cart of roses that spelled out the words, “Take Me Back Cardi.”
Hmm, that seems to be cool. Nothing wrong with that. But wait! Check out this video (below) of Offset making his way to the stage. See the the woman with the red hair? Well, her name Her is Patientce, and she’s Cardi’s P.R. rep! Oh really. Yes, really

Here is backstage footage of Cardi B’s publicist Patience Foster leading Offset to the stage. Like I said, this whole “break up” is an orchestrated publicity stunt. So these media outlets can stop using this fake scenario to push their anti-Black “toxic masculinity” narrative pic.twitter.com/z8KLPs3eZl

The big question some folks are asking: if this were a love ambush, why is Patientce leading the way for Offset?
OK, we bet we know what you’re thinking, BUT … Cardi insists that you n ot believe your eyes. Sources connected to Cardi say Patientce is way more than a public relations manager — she’s family, to both her and Offset.
Here’s more from TMZ:
Sources close to both Patientce and Cardi tell TMZ, Patientce strongly believes Cardi is still in love with Offset and does not want to pull the plug on their marriage. She is close to Cardi and Offset, she was sort of a Henry Kissinger (Google it) and brought him onstage to open the door to a reconciliation.
We’re told Cardi really didn’t know Offset was coming onstage and she was clearly very upset, but it was Patientce’s way of trying to make things right.
Oh yeah, if you’re thinking Cardi is totally unhappy with Patience, not true. Here’s what the she had to say about Patience: “Fan or not, you talk about my publicist/friend you can eat a d*** PERIOD.”

OH, OK. we’ll keep it moving, then.
And just so you know. Rolling Loud, the concert’s promoter, says organizers had nothing to do with Offset’s plans.
In a statement to Los Angeles Times, Rolling Loud said that ... Cardi B’s management was in on Offset’s stunt and denied that Rolling Loud’s organizers had anything to do with it. He also “share[d] the sentiment” of some fans’ belief that Offset’s appearance distracted from what should’ve been Cardi’s moment.
Read the full statement below:
“We were tipped off that Cardi was going to have multiple surprise guests, corroborated by what she said in her IG Live. One of specific guests we were told about didn’t end up showing up so we deleted the tweet, which is standard for us when things change as the night goes on. For example, there’s an earlier tweet about a special surprise guest for Tyga’s set that we also deleted upon learning that it wasn’t happening. Deleting old tweets with bad intel isn’t usually alarming but once we realized that we were getting dragged for the surprise interruption, we panicked and deleted the tweet bc we knew it was going to make things look worse. In hindsight, deleting those tweets actually made us look worse. We recognize that it was a poor decision.”
