Offset Says He’s Happy for Cardi B Amid Dating Buzz — While Tyra Banks Wants Taylor Swift in The Bodyguard Remake

April 17, 2025

Two of pop culture’s most unexpected headlines collided this week: one centers around former rap power couple Offset and Cardi B, and the other involves a fan-casting dream for the remake of The Bodyguard starring none other than Taylor Swift.

❤️ Offset Speaks Out on Cardi B’s Love Life: “I’m Happy for Her”

Despite their very public ups and downs, Offset is showing nothing but love — or at least maturity — towards Cardi B, as she steps back into the dating scene. The “Bad and Boujee” rapper broke his silence following rumors of Cardi’s budding relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs, whom she was spotted cozying up with at Coachella.

In an unexpected twist, Offset took to Instagram and responded to fans speculating about his emotions, saying he’s “happy for her.” This supportive response caught fans off guard, especially considering the couple’s rocky history that includes cheating allegations, multiple breakups, and accusations from Cardi of harassment and stalking.

“I just want her to be happy. That’s all,” Offset reportedly said in a comment that’s now making waves across social media.

Though it’s unclear whether the couple’s divorce proceedings are officially finalized, this marks a new chapter in their high-profile relationship — one that, surprisingly, includes mutual public respect.

🎬 Tyra Banks Wants Taylor Swift in The Bodyguard Remake — Opposite Idris Elba

Meanwhile, Tyra Banks is diving into Hollywood fan-casting — and her dream pairing has everyone buzzing.

During a recent appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, the former supermodel and America’s Next Top Model creator shared her vision for a modern remake of the iconic 1992 film The Bodyguard, originally starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

Her picks? Taylor Swift in the Whitney-inspired role of the vulnerable pop icon, and Idris Elba as her brooding protector.

“Taylor has that global superstardom and emotional depth. I see her absolutely slaying that role — and Idris? Come on, he’s got the presence,” Banks said enthusiastically.

This dream duo isn’t as far-fetched as it may seem. Taylor Swift has dabbled in acting (Cats, Amsterdam), while Idris Elba is a critically acclaimed actor with undeniable charisma. The two even shared screen time briefly in Cats (2019), so the chemistry has precedent.

Adding fuel to the speculation: the remake will reportedly be directed by Sam Wrench, who previously directed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film. Banks also hinted she’s been in talks with Elba for a potential collaboration.
