Offset dropped a surprise new album on Halloween — and it included an apparent shout-out to his estranged wife, Cardi B, and her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs.
The former Migos rapper, 33, seemingly took aim at Cardi, 33, and Diggs, 31, on “No Sweat” from Haunted by Fame, which he released on Friday, October 31. The possible shade comes in the verse when Offset raps, “How the f*** you leave Jordan for Rodman? / You a fool if you think that I’m hurt.”
After the reference to former Chicago Bulls players Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman (with Offset as the Jordan in this scenario), the rapper seemingly directs words just to Cardi.
“You ain’t happy, I know how it work / How you married and still givin’ birth?” the lyrics read. “Get some help, bitch, you goin’ berserk.”
Offset Regrets ‘Stepping Out’ on Cardi B: ‘Should Have Respected Her’
While Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024, the estranged couple haven’t finalized their split. Last month, she claimed her ex is the reason the divorce is still in process, alleging that Offset wants her to pay his tax debts.
“The only reason why I’m still married is because somebody wants me to pay for their taxes,” she claimed in a September chat on X Spaces. “Y’all wanna know the tea? The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties. I’m fighting for that, I’m gonna fight for that. This is not no love s***.”
She also addressed the fact that she’s currently expecting a baby with Diggs, to whom she was first linked in October 2024. Cardi confirmed last month she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs. She and Offset share three kids: daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 13 months, and son Wave, 4.

“Yes, I’m having a baby with somebody else. So what? That happens. It’s life,” Cardi continued in the X chat. “Let me tell you something, I did things the correct way the first time. I fell in love. I got two rings on my finger. I lasted seven years. … Stop saying, ‘Oh, but you’re still married.’ No, I’m legally separated.”
In a second song on Haunted by Fame, Offset appears to throw additional barbs at Cardi, rapping about a woman who he claims only gets attention because of her association with him.
“I know these n****s only wanna f*** you ’cause I f*** with you,” he raps on the chorus. “Please don’t think that this about you / Hate to be the one to bring you bad news.”

He continues in the verse, “No regrets, though / I taught you everything that you know / You not makin’ decisions, I’m still in control / Only reason these n****s f*** with you ’cause you were my ho / How does it feel?”
Cardi, for her part, addressed her split from Offset on the track “Man of Your Word” from her latest album, Am I the Drama?, which dropped last month. When asked about the song during an interview with CBS Mornings, the Grammy winner replied, “I just wish he was a better person. But it is what it is. Be a better person for your kids.”
