Offset, one-third of the iconic rap trio Migos, has cut out a distinct space for himself in hip-hop. With a versatile flow and a knack for crafting memorable hooks, Offset has consistently delivered hits. Beyond his contributions to Migos, Offset’s solo work reveals a depth and complexity that cements his status as a formidable artist in his own right. Moreover, Offset’s influence extends far beyond his individual tracks. They impact the broader rap scene with his innovative approach. By exploring five of his essential songs, we can gain a deeper understanding of his artistic evolution. These tracks highlight his solo achievements and his ability to collaborate and elevate the music of those around him.
1. “Ric Flair Drip”
Released in 2017 as part of the collaborative album Without Warning with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, this track quickly became a standout hit. The song’s beat, produced by Metro Boomin, complements Offset’s confident lyrics. Named after the iconic wrestler Ric Flair, the track encapsulates a lavish lifestyle filled with luxury and bravado.
The impact of “Ric Flair Drip” extended beyond the music charts. It also became a popular anthem in clubs and social media. Offset’s seamless flow and charismatic presence in the song helped solidify his reputation as a solo artist capable of dominating hip-hop. The track’s success is a testament to Offset’s versatility and his ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience.
A highlight from Offset’s debut solo album Father of 4 (2019), this track features a dynamic collaboration with his wife, Cardi B. The song addresses the culture of seeking fame and attention at any cost. Both artists delivered sharp critiques through their verses. The chemistry between Offset and Cardi B is palpable, adding an extra layer of intensity and authenticity to the track. “Clout” received widespread acclaim for its hard-hitting lyrics and catchy production. The accompanying music video, featuring striking imagery, further amplified the song’s message and appeal. “Clout” stands out as a powerful statement in Offset’s catalog.
3. “Red Room”
“Red Room,” released in 2019, is one of the most introspective tracks in Offset’s solo career. The song delves into his personal experiences, addressing trauma, survival, and growth themes. The haunting production, characterized by somber melodies and a steady beat, provides a fitting backdrop for Offset’s reflective lyrics. Futher, in “Red Room,” Offset opens up about his upbringing, brushes with the law, and his struggles on his path to success. This track stands out for its raw honesty and emotional depth, offering fans a glimpse into the rapper’s life and mindset beyond his public persona. By sharing his story, Offset connects with listeners on a deeper level and solidifies his place as a multifaceted artist capable of blending vulnerability with hard-hitting rap.
4. “Bad And Boujee” (With Migos, Featuring Lil Uzi Vert)
As a defining moment for Migos, “Bad and Boujee” catapulted the group to international fame upon its release in 2016. Offset’s iconic opening verse set the tone for the track, showcasing his rapid-fire delivery and impeccable flow. The song’s catchy hook, combined with its trap-influenced production by Metro Boomin, made it an instant hit.
Additionally, the success of “Bad and Boujee” was immense, dominating charts and social media and even becoming a viral meme. Offset’s contribution was crucial, with his distinctive style and memorable lines driving much of the song’s appeal. This track solidified Migos’ place in mainstream hip-hop and highlighted Offset’s standout abilities within the group, paving the way for his successful solo endeavors.
Offset and Gunna continue to display scintillating chemistry on their latest collaboration, the fashion-focused “Style Rare.” In the video, which is co-directed by Offset himself with Joshua “Mid Jordan” Farias, the two designer-minded rappers trade verses in front of a wall of screens in a white room in a scene reminiscent of the “Source” from the Matrix movies. Their all-black outfits keep the Matrix parallels going, although their dance scenes are a little slicker thanks to the women doing choreo instead of a cave full of barefoot refugees fist-pumping to techno.
The two rappers first linked up in March on Gunna’s “Prada Dem” from the YSL rapper’s then-forthcoming album, One Of Wun. Gunna is apparently returning the favor with “Style Rare,” which will presumably appear on Offset’s next solo album, which will follow 2023’s Set It Off. Intriguingly, Offset is so far the only Atlanta-based rapper to have collaborated with Gunna since he was released from Fulton County Jail after pleading guilty to racketeering charges.
Perhaps Offset’s own experiences being cut off from his former group, Migos, for a year, then losing bandmate Takeoff in a shooting, has given him a bit more perspective on the situation than some of their peers. Maybe he now thinks life’s too short to worry about adhering to “street code” when their rap careers have given so much more — and taken away a lot less.
Watch Offset and Gunna’s “Style Rare” video above.
One third of the Migos, Offset, is back with his first solo release of 2024 with “Style Rare”. This does follow up several collaborations, though, including ones with Gunna, Blxst, Killer Mike, 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE, and more. Additionally, this is the second with the first person on that list. The fellow Georgia native grabbed him for his recent album One of Wun. They both created a hit with “prada dem”, and now they are looking to find similar success on “Style Rare”.
As the title of the track suggests, this sees both rappers at their most braggadocious. From shiny jewelry, six-figure whips, and extravagant pieces, Offset and Gunna have everyone turning heads. It is a catchy track, especially with the flows and slightly funky pop rap beat courtesy of Honorable C.N.O.T.E. “Style Rare” figures to be the lead single for the rapper’s impending third solo album. Back in early November 2023, Offset told TMZ Hip Hop that a new project would be out by this February. Furthermore, the father revealed that his oldest son, Jordan, might have a production credit or two. Sadly, that did not happen it looks like fans are going to have to wait at least a few more months. For now, though, spin “Style Rare” and check out its music video and let us know what you think.
Young Gunna ’bout to drop, I’m in labor (Drop) Been puttin’ in this labor, I ain’t askin’ for favors Droppin’ me a smash, smash potatoes (Smash) F***in’ on bae, got her a** tangled (Ass tangled) No interviews, ask me later Like Takeoff, I rather be rich than famous, yes (Yes)
Today, Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum superstar Offset joins forces with Gunna for a summer single and music video tilted “Style Rare” out now via Motown Records. Watch the co-directed music video by Offset himself and Joshua “Mid Jordan” Farias. This notably marks Offset & Gunna’s second major collaboration of 2024, following Gunna’s rapidly rising hit “prada dem” [feat. Offset]. “Style Rare” showcases Offset’s creative side outside of the music self-directing his own videos.
Their undeniable chemistry surges through “Style Rare.” Synths accent a punchy beat as Offset and Gunna trade bars back and forth and practically finish each other’s sentences. The opulent hook hits hard, “Pull up Rolls truck, I’m rocking the rose one.” In the same spirit, Offset discloses his ambitions, “I’m trying to make 200M’s.”
The accompanying visual threads together highly stylized shots of dancers with closeups of these two hip-hop titans. Given all of the luxury fits, it speaks to their impact on the culture as global style icons.
The rap feud season keeps on giving, and it looks like it’s the ladies’ turn now. After Drake and Kendrick Lamar charged the hip-hop scene with their heated diss war, female MCs Cardi B and BIA seem to have taken the baton from their male colleagues. The duo has been going at each other via social media and diss tracks, and it looks like they are ready to go all the way. Cardi B’s relationship with BIA hasn’t always been frosty. In 2021, BIA lauded Cardi B via several posts on X, formerly known as Twitter. However, that is now in the past, as the rappers seem to have lost any love they had for each other.
Cardi B and BIA’s beef got out of hand in March after suggestions that Cardi B was imitating BIA’s style. Since then, the women have not held back in their war of words. Their beef got so heated that Cardi B threatened to sue Bia. Fans wonder how far the women are willing to go in their beef, which is quickly gaining much attention. Here’s all to know about the feuding women’s animosity.
If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention. You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY
Cardi B and BIA previously had a cordial relationship. In 2021, Cardi B became the first female rapper to have a solo single certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America after “Bodak Yellow” sold over 10 million units. She received multiple compliments from fans and industry bigwigs after achieving the feat. BIA was one of those who commended Cardi B on her achievement. BIA made several posts on X congratulating Cardi B. One of the posts read, “Congrats to @iamcardib. Breaking barriers for the gorls.” In another post, BIA responded to a fan who said she was the new girl inspired by Cardi B. She wrote, “If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention. You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY.”
BIA Says She Doesn’t Know Cardi B In Real Life
The first sign of a brewing feud between Cardi B and BIA came in March 2023. Then, there were rumors that the two rappers were beefing. BIA addressed the rumors via an Instagram live video. Per Forbes, she said, “I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. I don’t have no issues with her. It’s all love, but I don’t know her.”
The Beef Begins
Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time .. ima show ya something when I release this song tho
In March 2024, Cardi B released her “Like What” freestyle. She sampled Missy Elliot’s “She’s A B**ch” on the song. However, some fans on X felt the beat and ad-libs Cardi used on “Like What” were similar to those used on BIA’s “Fallback,” which the latter released in December 2023. A fan went ahead to share a post suggesting Cardi was imitating BIA. The fan wrote, “But Bia is definitely on Cardi’s mood board alot.” BIA caught wind of the fan’s tweet and responded with three woozy face emojis. In another X post, BIA wrote, “Yall are sick.” Another fan encouraged BIA not to fall for the stan wars, adding that she was on the rise. BIA acknowledged the fan and thanked them for their words.
However, Cardi B seemingly didn’t like the online chatter going on. She responded by posting, “Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time.. ima show ya something when I release this song tho.” Afterward, some Cardi fans rubbished the suggestion that she was imitating BIA’s style. They shared videos of Cardi previewing the “Like What” track at a club in January, proving that the song had been in the making for a long time.
Nothing much was heard about Cardi B and BIA’s feud until May 31, 2024, when GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion released the remix of their hit tune, “Wanna Be,” featuring Cardi B. Cardi seemingly fired shots at BIA with her hard-hitting bars in the song. She rapped, “Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me/She did what? Had no idea/Thought she was on the shelf, Ikea/Hope she talk like that when I see her/B**ch Please, don’t nobody wanna be ya/Cheap lookin’ a*s h*e, weak lookin’ a*s h*e/Great Value me lookin’ a*s h*e/Girl, these b**ches be p***y/Delete every tweet looking a*s h*e.” Fans speculated about who Cardi referred to with her lines. However, many of them were convinced the “nobody wanna be ya” reference was enough evidence they were aimed at BIA.
Not long after the track’s release, BIA seemed to reply to Cardi B’s apparent diss via a post on X. She wrote, “B**CHS IS WACK. B**CHS IS TRASH. I SHOULD HANG B**CHS RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASSSSSSSS,” a play from Cardi’s lyric from the song “Clout” with Offset. Shortly after, BIA shared another post on X. She posted a video of a rap battle between two female rappers superimposed with the “Wanna Be” instrumental playing in the background. One of the battling women delivered some lines aimed at knocking her opponent out. However, her bars fell flat and were met with disappointment by the onlookers and her unimpressed opponent, who said, “What?” The video post appeared to be BIA’s way of saying she wasn’t impressed with Cardi’s shots on “Wanna Be.”
With Cardi B and BIA’s feud attracting attention, the former went on Instagram Live to address the situation. She revealed that she attempted to resolve the conflict via a phone call to BIA. Cardi B shared that their conversation began aggressively with both of them coming at each other. She further revealed, “But then I called her back because…I’m so appalled at the fact that she thinks I’m copying her, or stealing from her, ‘cus there’s nothing that she do that I like. I don’t like her music, I don’t like her style…I don’t even see the b**ch…”
The “Up” rapper jokingly urged her fans to stream BIA’s songs as the latter needed to recoup her publishing. Cardi B then threatened to release her conversation with BIA. She claimed that their conversation ended positively but then BIA went ahead to diss her online. Cardi added, “After the conversation, you went and you started saying I copied your music video…Then you going around lying about my pussy to my man’s boys and shit. What?… When I called her on the phone I wanted clarity, and that’s exactly what we got…”
Cardi B shared that she initially thought BIA was clout-chasing when she kept dissing her. She added, “But when she started doing that rumor shit, it’s like ‘damn, it’s more than clout. It’s jealousy.’” Cardi stated that she didn’t like anything about BIA. She ranted, “I don’t wanna dress like you, I don’t wanna look like you, I don’t wanna rap like you, I don’t listen to your music, I don’t know what the fuck you be doing, bitch…You not interesting to me.” The enraged rapper concluded by threatening to sue BIA if she continued spreading false allegations that she cheated on Offset. She said, “B**tch, you lyin’ on my f***ing p***y? When you lie about my p****y, I’mma sue you and you got to come with receipts. And not social media receipts, you gotta come with court receipts.”
BIA didn’t waste much time to respond to Cardi B. She did so via an Instagram Live video. During the IG live session, BIA played a diss track targeted at Cardi in which she made allegations about her cheating on Offset. The song’s intro goes, “Got a dark soul, got a bright future/Imma let her know I’m a sharp shooter/You ain’t nothing but a f**k girl, I see right through ya.” Rapping about Cardi’s alleged infidelity, BIA spits, “Put it on your gang that they ain’t f**k you in/Put in on your name since you so gangsta like yo f***ing friends/Put it on your hubby since you lying on your vows/I write all my verses, I can do this s**t for hours.“
BIA also took a dig at Cardi, accusing her of using a ghostwriter. She rapped, “Do I beef with you or do I beef with Pardi?” The line is a reference to rapper and songwriter Pardison Fontaine, who has writing credits on several Cardi B songs including her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow,” and “Be Careful.” The writing credits are under Pardison’s real name Jordan Kyle Lanier Thorpe.
Elsewhere in the diss track, BIA dissed Cardi’s physical appearance and mentioned her kids, Wave and Culture. She rapped, “Say you love yourself but you won’t put that on your kids/All that surgery and how your body is so mid.” She also spits, “I thought your a*s was for the culture/You just tryna ride the wave/You should be home with your kids ’cause b**ch you speak like you in second grade.” BIA captioned her Instagram Live post, “SUE ME” ??? That’s not hip hop.”
BIA Releases Official Audio for Her Diss Song
After the Instagram post, BIA went ahead to release the official audio for her Cardi B diss song, “SUE MEEE?” The track’s cover art featured a screenshot of an Instagram Story that Offset made in 2023 in which he seemed to suggest Cardi B cheated on him. The former Migos rapper deleted the post immediately and later explained that Cardi didn’t cheat on him. He said he made the post because he “was really lit that night,” and “she get crazy at the mouth a little bit.”
Cardi has yet to respond to BIA’s diss track. However, given that she threatened to sue the “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY” crooner if she made more allegations of her cheating on Offset, one can only wonder if she will keep to her words. After already witnessing a volatile rap scene this year thanks to Drake and Kendrick’s beef, hip-hop lovers wonder what to expect from the feuding women. Only time will tell!
So, what exactly did BIA say on the record? Continue below for more information.
What Did BIA Say About Cardi B On Her Diss Song “Sue Meee?”
Before BIA even rapped, she subtly shaded Cardi with stock audio, referring to Cardi B previously recording and sharing private telephone conversations online, reportedly including their exchange.
In the record’s opening, BIA, claimed that Cardi cheated on her husband Offset, speculated about her alleged gang affiliation, and subtly mentioned her best friend Star Brim.
“You a f*ck girl I see right through yah / Put it on your gang that they didn’t f*ck you in / Put it on your name since you so gangsta like your f*cking friends / Put it on your hubby since you love lying on your f*cking vows / I write all my verses I can do this sh*t for hours”
Then, BIA clowned Cardi for staying with her husband after he supposedly had sex with another woman in their shared home. She also attempted to poked fun at Cardi for allegedly out earning Offset.
“I’ll be damned if I let a n**** f*ck a b*tch inside my house / Your money long and you split that / Your n**** saying, ‘That’s ours’”
“Put it on God that you ain’t change your face to mine / I’ll get on your ass hoe I don’t have to waste no time / Say you love yourself, but you won’t put that on your kids / All that surgery and how your body look so mid / Thought your ass was for the culture (Kulture) / You just trying to ride the wave (Wave) / You should be home with your kids ’cause you speak like second grade”
“C-A-R-D, cry on IG / Catch another ‘tude ’cause she couldn’t catch a beat / Do I beef with you are beef with Pardi (Pardison Fontaine) / You been scrapping projects since 2019 / Weak ass b*tch
There’s a whole lotta drama online between Cardi B and BIA. For well over a year, the pair has exchanged subtle jabs online. On May 31, their tension was officially transferred to wax.
Cardi B fired off at BIA in her guest verse on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” remix. Today (June 2), BIA responded with a track of her own, “Sue Meee.” The night before its release, BIA teased a shady unreleased song on Instagram Live.
Shortly after gaining wind of BIA’s lines, Cardi B took to her page to clap back and even threatened to take legal action over BIA’s accusations of adultery and supposedly spreading a fake sex tape.
“I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts,” Cardi said. “And not social media receipts, court receipts. I will get every little f*cking red penny that you ever f*cking make b*tch. Every money that you make off your publishing. So find something safe to do.”

BIA laughed off Cardi’s legal plan in the caption of her upload. “Sue me,” she wrote. “That’s not hip hop .”
Cardi B claimed that BIA took to her private Instagram page to post a story, saying she isn’t afraid to face litigation: “Good luck you think I’m Tasha K.”
“Girl. Ask Tasha K. She couldn’t even lie on my p*ssy,” replied Cardi.
Listen to BIA’s full diss aimed at Cardi B, “Sue Meee” below.
It’s been a busy week for Cardi B fans trying to unpack all the news surrounding her personal life and musical output. First she shared and then later deleted a tweet that made it seem like she wouldn’t be dropping her new album in 2024 after all. That was eventually contradicted by her own label when they tweeted in response to her Rolling Stone cover story. Their response specifically called her upcoming album as one of the best of this year. The response, alongside Cardi deleting her original tweet, seems like good news for fans looking forward to her first new album in 6 years.
Fans trying to dissect Cardi’s personal life are having a similar back-and-forth. Late last year she and husband Offset seemingly had a rocky few months. Cardi even described herself as “single” at one point before the pair reunited for Christmas. They’ve appeared together multiple times since despite continued rumors of infidelity rocking the couple. But in her new Rolling Stone interview she may have re-affirmed her commitment to her husband. “It’s not even about love, we’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?” she says in the cover story. Check out the full interview she gave below.
Cardi B made a few bold claims during her new interview. Firstly she took credit for a major influx of female rappers being signed to major labels in the wake of her debut album’s success. She also revealed how she plans to vote, or not vote, in the upcoming American election later this year.
What do you think of Cardi B reportedly rekindling her relationship with Offset despite rumors of infidelity? Do you think her long-awaited second studio album will drop in 2024 after all? Let us know in the comment section below.
Celina Powell is a notorious online personality known for attempting to “expose” male celebrities with wild accusations and alleged sexual encounters. The 29-year-old has admitted to lying about several claims she’s made in the past, while many of her alleged “flings” have denied any involvement with the controversial figure. As for her romantic life, it looks like Celina is now dating Love Is Blind alum Clay Gravesande. However, there’s much more to this personality that’s made her quite infamous.
Celina Powell’s history centers around clout-chasing attempts and unfounded claims against high-profile figures. One of her most infamous moves was alleging she was pregnant with Offset’s baby back in 2017. This, of course, made headlines, especially since Cardi B was also pregnant at the time. Powell even posted a fake paternity test online suggesting Offset, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, was the father of her alleged unborn baby “Karma.” She eventually admitted to lying about the entire ordeal. Powell used images of her friend’s ultrasound to spread the rumor before apologizing to Cardi in a video.
Another target of Celina Powell’s was Snoop Dogg. She accused the West Coast icon of cheating on his wife, Shante, with her during an alleged drug-fueled sexual encounter. In a lengthy “storytime” video on YouTube, Powell went into great detail about the suspected rendezvous. She even shared alleged screenshots of racy texts and semi-nude photos from Snoop. However, Snoop vehemently denied the claims. He also announced plans for a show called “Clout Chasers” following the drama. Powell made claims about an alleged relationship with Lil Meech. She posted herself wearing a BMF neckpiece, with Summer Walker’s “I’ll Kill You” playing in the background.
Other Alleged Celebrity Links
Celina Powell has claimed to be linked with several other celebrities over the years. A notable mention is Trey Songz, whom Powell claimed kidnapped her. There’s also Tee Grizzley, Young Thug, Waka Flocka Flame, and even the late Aaron Carter, whom she dated briefly in 2018. She also alleged having an encounter with Drake. However, Drizzy swiftly shut down her advances. Notably, with this attempt, there were text messages showing him rejecting her advances. Powell had also dated infamous Hip Hop insider DJ Akademiks on and off in recent years. The relationship blossomed for a while, and Akademiks reportedly gifted her a G-Wagon, which she posted on her social media in 2020. However, it is unclear what led to the end of the relationship. Akademiks would later tell VladTV that he slept with Powell, but she was not his ex-girlfriend.
Celina Powell’s Legal Troubles
Celina Powell’s clout-chasing antics meant all of her legal troubles were in our faces as well. In 2018, she was reportedly arrested for over $60,000 worth of outstanding bonds related to crimes like shoplifting and evading the police. Three years later, in 2021, she was arrested in Miami for driving on a suspended license. Then, in 2022, Powell was sentenced to two years in prison for violating the terms of her probation by failing to comply with court-mandated drug and alcohol tests.
This year, Celina Powell graces our headlines again for her purported new relationship with reality star Clay Gravesande from the most recent season of Love Is Blind on Netflix. She confirmed the romance by posting a video of her cuddled up in bed with Clay, who she referred to as “my man.” Another photo showed the pair being intimate together. The romance has drawn backlash from fans still upset over Clay’s controversial appearance on the dating show.
Gravesande and A.D Smith were previously engaged, and the Love Is Blind alums even made it to the altar. Gravesande didn’t go through with it, admitting he “struggled with commitment” and made a “mistake.” Many are now questioning his motives for quickly moving on with the infamous Celina Powell. Unsurprisingly, this relationship is being viewed as an attempt to extend his 15 minutes of fame. In a similar fashion, Powell is also the subject of scrutiny. To many, Clay Gravesande is her latest ploy for more fame and attention.
If you’ve been a longtime fan of Cardi B, you’d be forgiven for being a little confused about her relationship status. After all, she and (ex?)husband Offset have gone back and forth quite a few times over the last six years. Most recently, it seemed their “off-again-on-again” love affair was back in the former stage, particularly after Cardi declared in December that she’s “been single for a minute.” However, the couple spent Christmas together and were seen pretty recently together at a Met Gala after-party. So, what exactly is the deal? Are Cardi B and Offset still married?
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Cardi remained coy about the situation, but her comments did shed some light on it. “The part I love is that we really like each other, like a support system. We’re really both each other’s cheerleader. I don’t really like talking to people. I’m not as social. If I want something from somebody, he’ll be the one that will talk. Because I don’t like asking.”
However, she said of contemplating an official, final divorce, “It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”
So, that seems to be a “yes,” they are still married by all appearances, although like any couple, they’ve had their challenges. And if they’re ever not, they still seem to be bonded by a mutual appreciation and their two kids, who’ll keep them in proximity for a while.
.. ima show ya something when I release this song tho
