Offset Breaks His Silence: “That Post Was Fake” — Inside the Rumor That Set Cardi B Off
Written by b87fm on 11/18/2025
Offset is shutting down a viral rumor that reignited tension with Cardi B, denying he ever posted — or deleted — an Instagram Story claiming Cardi and Stefon Diggs’ newborn son as his own.
The drama exploded after a screenshot whipped through social media. It appeared to show Offset writing, “My kid lol,” a message fans immediately took as a claim toward Cardi’s baby with the New England Patriots star.

Offset says none of it is real. According to him, the screenshot was engineered to spark chaos, and he never wrote the message that sent the internet spiraling.
The fake clip spread like wildfire before Offset could respond, leaving fans to fuel speculation about his relationship with Cardi and the delicate state of their co-parenting. Cardi reacted instantly — and treated the post as real — which only intensified the frenzy.
A rep for Offset told TMZ the alleged quotes are “completely fabricated.” They emphasized that Cardi’s response sprang from misinformation and described the fallout as unnecessary. The rep also added that despite their split, Offset has supported Cardi and “genuinely wishes her nothing but the best” — an effort to cool off the raging online storm.
Cardi, however, used her platform to voice deeper frustration. She urged fans not to joke about the situation, writing, “Y’all be thinking it’s so funny and it’s not … It’s all fun and games until it’s too late.”
She also revealed the emotional toll of living under constant public scrutiny:
“Sometimes I sleep and I wonder, ‘This is not normal.’ You see crime documentaries … You see s*** on social media about women getting killed every other day.”
Her comments highlighted the darker side of internet narratives — especially when they target women already navigating high-pressure public lives.
Cardi and Offset secretly married in 2017 and share three children. Their relationship fractured in 2024 when Cardi filed for divorce, later welcoming a son with Stefon Diggs. Since then, every move between the rapper and the NFL star has been dissected by fans.
This latest controversy shows just how volatile the digital spotlight can be. Offset maintains he had nothing to do with the rumor, while Cardi continues to confront the emotional weight and real-world dangers of online misinformation.
