In a stunning if ultimately unsurprising display of ashiness, Cardi B's recently estranged husband Offset showed up onstage at the Rolling Loud festival to beg Cardi to take him back after he cheated on her.

Offset's "apology" included flowers and a series of cakes that spelled out "TAKE ME BACK;" he was escorted off the stage after Cardi B expressed discomfort that he interrupted her show.

As and after the drama unfolded onstage, people on Twitter took Offset to task for his stunt, rightfully claiming that his grand gesture was more "manipulative performance of headassery" than "super effective way to apologize for sleeping around on your wife."

Some people also pointed out that it was particularly wrong of Offset to interrupt Cardi B while she was working. Cardi was the first female headliner in Rolling Loud history, and in prioritizing himself he made what should have been a professional accomplishment all about his personal relationship.

Women shared their stories of their own partners coming to their place of work and why workplace gestures are more controlling than romantic.

It looks like Offset's interruption hasn't had an effect on Cardi B's decision to leave him, and it's in everyone's best interest that he learn to take an L and deescalate his attempts to make up for his infidelity.
