Who is rapper Offset?

Nee Kiari Cephus, known professionally as Offset, rose to fame as a member of the Atlanta-based group Migos, alongside Quavo and Takeoff. The trio, founded in 2008, defined the era of mumble rap in the 2010s with hits like “Bad and Boujee” and “Walk It Talk It”, collaborating with stars such as Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B.

In 2017, Offset collaborated with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin on the album Without Warning, with the lead single “Ric Flair Drip” becoming his highest-charting solo track. Migos disbanded in 2023 following the tragic death of Takeoff in Houston.

As a solo artist, Offset has worked with Travis Scott, JID, Don Toliver, Gunna, and others. In 2025, he released the surprise 11-track mixtape Haunted by Fame, featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again and NoCap.
