Offset pulled up to “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” and kept it real like never before. The Atlanta rapper opened up about his life, fame, family, and everything in between. From walking away from Migos to dealing with loss, addiction, and love, Offset got honest about the highs and lows that shaped him.
“It felt special the whole time,” he said about building Migos from the ground up. “Fight Night was the first song that made me take it serious and believe we could really make it.”
Talking Migos & Honoring Takeoff
Offset made it clear he still has love for Migos, however that chapter is closed. “It was just a decision I had to make as a man,” he told Keke Palmer about the group’s breakup in 2023. When asked if a reunion could ever happen, he didn’t hesitate. “I don’t want to go backwards. It wouldn’t be the same without Takeoff—he was the glue.”
He also reflected on when success became real for him. “When we got that number one hit, it became my job,” Offset said about “Bad and Boujee.” He described Migos’ sound as a “science formula” that changed hip-hop forever.
Offset’s Addiction, Recovery & Real Growth
Offset opened up about his struggle with codeine and his decision to quit. He’s “four years strong” and proud of it. However, the wake-up call came from his son. “What killed me was when my son asked for pineapple soda because he saw me drinking it,” Offset said. “Then he asked, ‘yours a different color than mine… why?’ That broke me”. Therefore, Offset decided to do something about it.
That moment forced him to change. Offset didn’t want to lose himself or his family. “My mom was coming at me, my people were worried,” he shared. “I’m glad I have solid people around me to tell me when I’m trippin’.” He added, “Sometimes you think you can’t make hits without the drugs—but that’s cap.”
After that, Offset made a clear point: the real high now comes from making music sober and seeing life clearly.
Divorcing Cardi B & Learning From Mistakes
Soon, the talk shifted to his marriage. Offset confirmed that he and Cardi B are heading for divorce. “I’m ready for it to be over so we can move on”, he said. He didn’t blame anyone; he owned his mistakes. “Two of us being superstars—your business is always out”, he admitted. “I was definitely not perfect”.
When Keke gently asked if he would do anything differently, he paused. “I wish I respected her more”, he said. “You live and you learn”.
Also, he addressed old rumors about being involved with West Coast rapper Saweetie, who once dated Quavo. “That’s not true,” he stated directly, clearing the air once and for all.
Fatherhood, Legacy & What’s Next
Offset is focused on his future. He’s now signed as a solo artist to Capitol Records/ Motown. Offset is dropping new music, raising his kids, and growing as a man. “The legacy has been made,” he said proudly.
Furthermore, he offered parenting advice to Keke, who recently became a mom. “You shouldn’t baby him,” he told her, smiling. “My momma didn’t play”. Offset said his mom raised him and his two siblings alone until she found her husband. That experience taught him toughness and drive.
Offset had his first child at 17, and he said that pushed him to be responsible. He explained, “I was in survival mode”. “I didn’t want to be a deadbeat. I just didn’t go about it the right way.”
Offset is now standing on growth, not guilt. Making the choice to owns his past but doesn’t live there. He’s choosing peace, progress, and purpose. This time, he’s doing it all on his own terms.
