Offset

Offset grew up in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and made his name as one third of Migos, the trio with Quavo and Takeoff whose triplet flow rewired the sound of 2010s hip-hop — "Bad and Boujee" alone went to number one and turned their ad-libs into a language everyone else started borrowing. His solo work leans more personal: Father of 4 addresses each of his children by name, and his later records carry the weight of Takeoff's death in 2022.

Father of 4 (2019). His proper solo debut is the clearest picture of him as his own artist rather than one voice in the trio. "Clout," his hit duet with Cardi B, and the opener "Father of 4," which speaks to each of his kids in turn, are both on it.

Biography

Kiari Kendrell Cephus (born December 14, 1991), known professionally as Offset, is an American rapper. He is best known for being a member of suburban metro Atlanta-based hip-hop trio Migos. Formed with fellow rappers Quavo and Takeoff in 2008, the group released four commercially successful studio albums—Yung Rich Nation (2015), Culture (2017), Culture II (2018) and Culture III (2021)—before disbanding in 2023 and reuniting in 2026 as a duo.

His marriage to fellow rapper Cardi B—with whom he has three children—has been heavily publicized; the couple separated in late 2023, filing for divorce in August 2024.

As a solo act, he first released the collaborative album Without Warning (2017) with record producer Metro Boomin and fellow Georgia-based rapper 21 Savage. It peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Ric Flair Drip," which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. He then guest appeared on Tyga's 2018 single "Taste", which became his first top ten hit on the latter chart as a soloist, and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
