One-third of rap outfit Migos, Offset is a rapper whose speedy rhymes, love of interjections, and clever wordplay made him a fan favorite as the trap trio ascended the hip-hop charts. After breaking through with Migos, he branched off as a solo artist, collaborating with multiple artists and reaching chart highs with Tyga (“Taste”) and Kodak Black (“Zeze”) in 2018. In early 2019, he issued his debut full-length, ‘Father of 4,’ which spawned the Grammy-nominated single “Clout.” Migos’ ‘Culture III’ arrived in 2021, and Offset spent the next two years focusing on singles and collaborations with IDK, Trippie Redd, Moneybagg Yo, Metro Boomin, and others.

Born Kiari Kendrell Cephus in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Offset initially formed another collective called Polo Club in 2009. The following year, he formed Migos alongside Takeoff and his cousin Quavo. The trio broke out when their track “Versace,” from the 2013 mixtape ‘Young Rich N*ggas,’ became a widespread hit. Offset went on to release chart-topping studio albums with Migos, including 2017’s ‘Culture’ and its follow-up, 2018’s ‘Culture II.’ ‘Without Warning,’ a collaboration with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, appeared on Halloween 2017 and immediately hit the Top Five of the Billboard Top 200. The set featured his 3x-Platinum hit “Ric Flair Drip.” Around the same time, Offset married rapper Cardi B in a private ceremony.

Following a slew of guest appearances — including the multi-Platinum Top Ten singles “Taste” with Tyga and “Zeze” with Kodak Black — Offset issued the single “Red Room,” which landed on his solo debut, ‘Father of 4,’ in 2019. The album debuted at #4 on the Top 200. The following year, the Cardi B-featuring single “Clout” was nominated for a Grammy Award.

In 2021, Offset and Migos returned with ‘Culture III,’ while the rapper teamed with Trippie Redd, Lil Durk, Kevin Gates, and King Von for the all-star single “Hit Em Hard” from the ‘Fast & Furious 9’ soundtrack. Offset hit the charts again with the 2022 singles “Big 14” (with Trippie Redd and Moneybagg Yo), “54321,” and “Code” (with Moneybagg Yo). The following year, Offset released “2 Live,” a collaboration with Hit-Boy, then he and J.I.D guested on “Danger” from Metro Boomin’s soundtrack to Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.

In October 2023, Offset is expected to release his latest solo album ‘Set It Off,’ which was preceded by hit singles “Jealousy” feat. Cardi B and “Fan.”
