He is around Kalea as often as he can be, and he and L’amour have been on good terms for Kalea’s sake.

He grew up in suburban Gwinnett County, Georgia next to his future colleagues, Quavo and Takeoff; Quavo is Offset’s cousin, while Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle. They started the hip-hop group Migos, and gained attention with the single “Versace” (2013). Two years later, the trio released their debut studio album “Yung Rich Nation”, which reached No. 5 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop chart. T
hey continued making music, releasing mixtapes and singles, before they put out their second studio album “Culture” in 2017, which became a total success. It topped the US Billboard 200 and US R&B/Hip-Hop charts, and also achieved platinum status. With Migos on the rise, Offset was becoming more popular, and he also started making music on his own. The result was the 2019 debut solo album “Father of 4”, which achieved gold status and landed at the No. 2 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Migos and Offset continued in the same fashion, and “Culture II” topped Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop charts, with double-platinum status.
They are currently working on their next album, scheduled for release late in 2020.
Offset has collaborated with a number of other musicians too, including his wife Cardi B on the song “Clout”, then Metro Boomin, Nicki Minaj, and Stunna 4 Vegas among others.
Net Worth, Personal Life and Legal Troubles
Offset has grown to become a popular rapper, and in recent years his wealth has increased by a large margin. According to sources, Offset’s net worth has been estimated at $16 million as of mid- 2020.
Offset, as his album tells, is the father of four children. In addition to the daughter he has with Shya L’amour, he has two sons, Jordan and Cody, from previous relationships, and also has a daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, with his wife, Cardi B.
He and Cardi B started dating in early 2017, and on the 27th October the same year he proposed to the rising rapper, during a live performance at Power 99’s Powerhouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, the proposal was staged as the two had already married in a private wedding ceremony on the 20th September 2017; they welcomed their daughter on the 10th July 2018.
Their romance hit the wall in December 2018, as Cardi announced that they had split, the reason being Offset’s alleged adultery, and a sex tape. However, they have since reconciled.
Offset has been in and out of jail several times, despite his wealth, for burglary, theft, illegal possession of drugs, and firearms. Back in 2013, he was incarcerated in Georgia’s DeKalb County Jail after being charged with burglary and theft. Two years later, he 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. Recently, in 2019, he faced a felony charge for possession of three handguns and the possession of drugs from a previous arrest in July 2018.
