Chris Brown is desperate to date Cardi B according to an insider close to the star and he’s about to try and spark a romance following her split from Offset.

Cardi B and Offset’s break up was barely confirmed a week ago, but reports have claimed that Chris Brown is about to shoot his shot at the ‘I Like It’ rapper.

Accordoing to the reports, Chris Brown has been a secret admirer of Cardi B for a while now and following the break up of her marriage to Migos rapper Offset he’s set to “let Cardi know any way he can that he’s interested”.

Speaking to Hollywood Life, an insider close to Chris Brown allegedly claimed, “Chris is dying to shoot his shot with Cardi, now that she is single. He’s always found her sexy, and now that Offset’s out of the way, Chris is ready to make Cardi his girl”.

The source went on to add, “Chris loves Cardi’s music, thinks she’s gorgeous, sexy and talented but would never disrespect Offset by trying to hit on his wife.”

Revealing exactly how Chris apparently plans to woo Cardi, the insider explained, “Now that the lane is clear, Chris will be liking some of Cardi’s pics, maybe even leave a few comments and also plans to slip into her DMs. Chris wants to let Cardi know any way he can that he’s interested as soon as possible”.

Aside from music , the pair already have one thing in common – Chris Brown has four year old daughter Royalty whilst Cardi and Offset share daughter Kulture, who was born earlier this year in July.

Neither Cardi B nor Chris Brown have responded to the rumours so far, but if they’re spotted out on a date any time soon we’ll know the insider was right all along.

Chris Brown not only said he’d send flowers to Cardi B amid his feud with Offset, he also said he was “disappointed” in Offset — and neither Cardi and Offset are happy about this. A source close to the pair told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that Chris crossed a line by bringing up Cardi. “Cardi B found Chris Brown’s Instagram post where he says he’s going to send her flowers so she knows he respects her, quite disrespectful,” our source told us. “Cardi of course sides with Offset, however, she knows Offset has been working really hard to get to a better place with her and on their relationship as a whole and finds it really rude of Chris to post such a thing.”

When it comes down to it, it’s going to make her upcoming big night at the Grammys even more stressful than it has to be. “Cardi also doesn’t like that Offset is being spoken about,” our source went on to say. “She finds the whole thing disrespectful. She’s already having a lot of emotions going into Grammy night that she didn’t really need to be dealing with this right now. She’s definitely been snuggling extra amounts with Kulture in the last 24 hours!”

Meanwhile, Offset feels that Chris should have known that talking about Cardi is off limits. “Offset also feels that Chris Brown took this too far but his comments involving Cardi as she has nothing to do with this,” “Cardi and kids are off limits in Offsets eyes, and he just found it crossing a line and disrespectful. Offset respects Cardi tremendously and he knows he’s been doing right by her for the past few months so that’s all he cares about. Offset will continue to do right by Cardi and make her feel like a queen. That’s his goal and he hasn’t wavered from that.” With Chris already inviting Offset to his house to fight him, it should make for an interesting night at the Grammys.
