Cardi B looked somber as she stepped out with husband Offset for a shopping trip in LA on Tuesday – two days after the Migos musician brawled backstage with Quavo at the Grammys.
Cardi, 30, went make-up free as she indulged in some retail therapy with Offset, 31, in the wake of the row, which was allegedly sparked because the Grammys asked Offset to be a part of Takeoff’s tribute, but moments before he was set to take the stage, Quavo blocked him.
The WAP hitmaker wore a black hoodie and joggers as she walked around a store, with her hair tied back in a tousled updo.
Offset walked around the mall separately while clad in a graphic print hoodie and joggers, while toting a grey canvas bag.
The sighting marks the first time the pair have been seen in public together since Cardi was spotted trying to break up the physical fight – which saw the rappers have to be pulled apart.

The rappers still have significant bad blood between them following the shooting death of Takeoff on November 1, 2022.
Quavo was set to take the stage to perform his song Without You as a tribute to Takeoff during the In Memoriam segment of the show when the fight broke out.
TMZ reported that it was Quavo who started the fight, though Offset took to Twitter on Monday to deny that a brawl ever took place.
Cardi was captured on iPhone footage while she was yelling at Offset and Quavo backstage.
The Bodak Yellow singer had just come offstage after presenting the award for Best Rap Album to Kendrick Lamar.
‘Both of y’all wrong. This is not right. No b*****, shut the f**k up cuz you shouldn’t have been talking,’ Entertainment Tonight reported she said.
Quavo wrote Without You about Takeoff. The trio formed the rap group Migos together.

Part of the fabric wave covered her face, slightly obscuring her right eye and one of her huge diamond earrings.
The dress was slit near the WAP singer’s right hip, and her train collected in a pool of blue at her feet.
