Established as a solo artist, Offset released his debut studio album Father of 4 on February 22, 2019. The album became his second to reach the top ten on the Billboard 200 [7] and spawned the single "Clout" (featuring Cardi B), [8] which earned him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Performance. [9] Offset and Cardi B then released a 2023 follow-up single "Jealousy," which peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as the lead single for his second studio album Set It Off (2023), which released in October of that year to similar success. His marriage to fellow rapper Cardi B—with whom he has two children—has been heavily publicized; the couple separated in late 2023. [10]

Career

Offset was first a backup dancer in the music video for Whitney Houston's 2002 single "Whatchulookinat" by Whitney Houston in 2002, he was 11 years old at the time. [11] [12] Offset, along with fellow Migos group members, were born and raised in Gwinnett County, Georgia, adjacent to Atlanta. In 2008, Offset formed Migos with Quavo and Takeoff. [13]

[13] In 2017, their single "Bad and Boujee" became an Internet phenomenon, as much of the song was performed by Offset. [14] The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, [15] with many critics believing Offset commanded the track. [16] [17] In 2017, the trio released their second studio album, Culture , which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. [18]

In addition to Migos, Offset has released solo music and collaborated with numerous artists.

[22] The album was released on October 31, 2017, and debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 chart. [23] It spawned the hit song "Ric Flair Drip", Offset's first solo platinum single, and highest charting US Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist to date. [24] [25] On February 22, 2019, he released his first solo album Father of 4 . [26] The album featured the single "Clout", with Cardi B, which peaked at the top 40 of the Hot 100 at number 39. [27]

In May 2022, rumors surrounding a possible disbandment of Migos arose when Offset and his wife Cardi B unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff after the latter announced their new duo project, Unc And Phew and released the single Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew) . [29] [30]

In August 2022, Offset announced his second studio album and released two new singles, "54321" and "Code" with Moneybagg Yo, along with the music video featuring model Bella Hadid. [31] [32] [33] Shortly after the release of "54321", Offset filed a lawsuit against his record label Quality Control Music in a dispute over rights to his solo music. His legal team said that he "paid handsomely" for his solo artist rights following the negotiation last year, but now QC has allegedly attempted to claim his latest track as its own. [34] [35]

In October 2022, disbandment of Migos became the subject of speculation based on reports that Offset had slept with Quavo's ex-girlfriend Saweetie. [36] Following this, Quavo and Takeoff released a collaborative album titled  Only Built for Infinity Links  on October 7, 2022, without Offset's input despite no formal split. In an interview, Quavo stated that he would like to see his and Takeoff's career "as a duo". [37]

On November 1, 2022, Takeoff was shot dead at the 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas. Following the murder of his cousin and groupmate, Offset delayed the release date of his upcoming album which was originally going to be released on November 11, 2022. [38] [39]

On July 28, 2023 Offset released the single, "Jealousy" in collaboration with Cardi B, this single serves as the lead single off of his second studio album Set it Off , released October 13, 2023.

Controversies

In January 2018, Offset was criticized for rapping a line that includes the lyrics "I cannot vibe with queers" in his feature on YFN Lucci's "Boss Life". [54] After the lyric was understood as homophobic he apologized saying he did not intend for his use of the term "queer" to be directed at the LGBT community. His wife, Cardi B, said that Offset did not know the term "queer" had a homophobic history. [55] He has since claimed in an Instagram post that he assumed the lyric was using the definition of "queer" that is defined as eccentric and odd. [56]

When Migos first rose to prominence in 2013, Offset was incarcerated in Georgia's DeKalb County Jail for violating his probation that he had received due to prior felony convictions for burglary and theft. [13] [57]

On April 18, 2015, authorities stopped a Migos concert at Georgia Southern University and arrested all three members of the group, as well as several members of their entourage. Offset was denied bond and was charged with possession of an unspecified Schedule II narcotic, possession of marijuana, possession of a firearm in a school safety zone and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. [57]

On May 2, 2015, Offset, while in custody, was charged with battery and inciting a riot within a penal facility after attacking another inmate, causing severe injury. [58] In a bond hearing before Bulloch County Superior Court Judge John R. Turner on May 8, 2015, Offset was formally denied bond based on his prior criminal record as well as the jail fight. During the hearing, two members of Migos' entourage were also denied bonds while four others were granted bonds and were barred from returning to Bulloch County, Georgia as a condition of their release. Judge Turner directed the four who were released not to make contact with anyone involved in the case. Offset's attorney argued that the rap trio were unfairly profiled by law enforcement and that officers had failed to prove ownership of the firearms and illicit drugs found within the two vans. The prosecution responded that law enforcement were present at the concert for the safety of the students and public at-large due to Migos' history of violence. Upon hearing the decision, Offset shouted profanities as he was escorted out of the courtroom. [59]

After eight months in custody, Offset was released on December 4, 2015, after accepting an Alford plea deal. The deal dropped the gun, drug, and gang-related charges in exchange for pleading guilty to inciting a riot within a penal facility, paying a $1,000 fine, serving five years probation, and being banished from Bulloch, Effingham, Jenkins, and Screven counties. [60]

On March 17, 2016, Offset was arrested for driving with a suspended license but was released the next day without charges being filed. [61]

On April 23, 2019, Offset faced a felony charge for possession of three handguns and the possession of drugs from a previous arrest in July 2018. [62] [63]

On October 24, 2020, Offset was detained by the Beverly Hills Police Department near a Donald Trump rally for carrying a concealed weapon. However, he was shortly released. [64]

In 2021, Offset was sued by Platinum Transportation Group, a Los Angeles based car rental company. Offset reportedly rented a Bentley Bentayga from the company in May 2020, pushed back the return date multiple times, and after July 4, claimed the car was gone and had no idea where it was. According to PTG, Offset failed to provide any rational explanations regarding his failure to return the rental, and ceased rental payments after July 25. [65] [66] [67]
