Offset’s Bold Confession After Celebrating Kody’s Birthday Without Cardi B

Offset recently marked a significant milestone for his son Kody, who turned 10, with a heartfelt family celebration. However, the event took place without Cardi B, further fueling speculation about their strained relationship as their divorce proceedings reach the final stage.

The Migos rapper, 33, took to Instagram on Sunday, March 9, to share moments from the special day. The post featured all of his children, including Kulture, 6, who showed off her dance moves and did a split by the pool, and Wave, 3, who was seen relaxing on a pool chair and playfully donning Hulk gloves. The birthday boy, Kody, held his younger brother in a touching moment before blowing out his birthday candles.

Offset’s Journey as a Father

In a 2019 cover story for Haute Living, Offset reflected on the challenges of fatherhood, particularly as a young parent. “The journey of fatherhood was kind of tough for me at first,” he admitted. “I was trying to find myself. I didn’t have much direction on what it meant to be a father.” He acknowledged past mistakes but emphasized his commitment to being present for his children despite the demands of his career.

As a father of six, Offset shares three children with Cardi B: newborn daughter, son Wave Set Cephus, and Kulture Kiari Cephus. He also has sons Kody Cephus, 10, Jordan Cephus, 15, and daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, 9, from previous relationships. Despite his busy schedule, Offset remains dedicated to balancing his career and fatherhood. In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, he underscored this commitment: “There’s a big party on Saturday in Los Angeles, but my son Kody’s first football game is on Sunday. There’s no way I’m missing either event, so I’m going to have to make it work. It’s a priority to me.”

Cardi B’s Absence Amid Divorce Drama

Notably absent from Kody’s birthday celebration was Cardi B, who filed for divorce from Offset for the second time in July 2023 after six years of marriage. An insider revealed to PEOPLE that tensions remain high between the former couple. “Cardi tries very hard for things to be amicable with Offset. She’s forgiven him for so much in the past because she wants the best for their kids,” the source explained. “But she’s furious with Offset again. Their relationship has always been very up and down. Cardi always moves on, though.”

While Offset continues to embrace fatherhood, the absence of Cardi B at a significant family event underscores the growing distance between the estranged couple. With their divorce reportedly in its final stages, fans continue to speculate on what’s next for the former power couple.
