Offset Net Worth and Where the Money Comes From

Offset net worth has never been confirmed by the Migos rapper or by any reliable outlet, so we do not print a number. What is public is a chart run, solo albums, a dated touring note and later court cases, not a bank balance.

He went from a Georgia jail release in 2015 to a number 1 group album, Motown solo debuts and a 2026 hospital stay after a shooting in Florida. Streams and show dates are real. The million-dollar totals on bio sites are not.

Below is what Billboard charts, Forbes, local court reporting and later news coverage show about how he earns, as of November 2026.

Offset net worth: what is on record

Bio sites attach confident million-dollar totals to his name. Those pages do not cite a filing, a contract or an interview in which he stated his wealth. We found no verified figure, and we will not invent one.

That is typical for rappers whose chart peaks are public and whose pay is not. A Louisville artist in our EST Gee net worth guide is in the same spot: hits and later court records are on paper, a personal total is not.

How does Offset make money?

Recorded music is the first public trail. Album-equivalent units and chart ranks show demand. They do not show what share he keeps after his label and collaborators are paid.

An Atlanta peer faces the same gap in our Latto net worth guide: radio and album peaks are published, contract terms are not.

Live work is the other large line, and almost as opaque. The only sourced touring dollar figure we found is that 2018 Forbes note on Migos as a group. Later solo tour grosses and his cut have not been published in the outlets used here [5].

A longer-running rap businessman hits the same wall in our Rick Ross net worth guide: some assets are documented, a personal total is not.

How big were the Migos records?

Offset is one-third of Migos, alongside Quavo and Takeoff. CNN notes that the Atlanta-based trio first broke through with “Versace” in 2013 and later earned Grammy nominations tied to Culture [17].

Forbes reported in February 2017 that Culture opened at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with 131,000 equivalent copies, 44,000 of them from album sales. Billboard’s own report on that chart-topping week confirmed the number 1 debut. “Bad and Boujee,” with Lil Uzi Vert, was the group’s three-week Hot 100 number 1, Billboard later wrote [3][4][15].

Takeoff was fatally shot in Houston in November 2022, Billboard and CNN reported. Those outlets describe Migos as having ended as a trio after his death. We do not treat later reunion rumors as a confirmed album deal [15][17].

Which solo albums actually charted?

Before his own albums, he appeared on Without Warning, a 2017 set with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin. Billboard’s official album chart history lists that project at number 4 on the Billboard 200 dated November 18, 2017 [11].

Father of 4, his first solo studio album, arrived in 2019. Billboard Pro said it debuted at number 4 on the chart dated March 9, with 89,000 equivalent album units in the week ending February 28, according to Nielsen Music. The official Billboard 200 for that week lists the album as new at number 4 [6][7].

Set It Off followed on October 13, 2023, through Motown and Capitol. Billboard’s Chart Beat report said it opened at number 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and started with 70,000 equivalent album units in the week ending October 19, including 44,000 from streaming and 25,000 from album sales, according to Luminate. On the Billboard 200 dated October 28, 2023, it debuted at number 5 [8][9].

His third solo album, Kiari, arrived in August 2025. Billboard said both of his first two solo albums had opened in the Billboard 200 top five. Kiari itself debuted at number 16 on the chart dated September 6, 2025, marked as new on that official week. We did not find a first-week unit count in the sources used here [16][10][11].

On November 2, 2026, Billboard reported that he had set a new date for GMFU, short for Got Me Fucked Up: November 13, 2026. As of November 12, that album was still upcoming [12].

A Florida artist in our Rod Wave net worth guide shows the same pattern: album debuts are public, the artist’s share is not.

Where did Offset come from?

Court and news coverage identify him as Kiari Kendrell Cephus. WSB-TV used that full name in its 2015 plea report. CNN used it again in 2026. The Statesboro Herald, citing the Bulloch County Clerk’s Office, described him as being from Lawrenceville, Georgia [1][2][17].

Rolling Stone, writing after the Florida shooting, called him 34 years old in April 2026. We do not repeat an unsourced calendar date for his birthday [18].

What happened in the Georgia case?

These are court outcomes reported at the time, not a new accusation. WSB-TV reported that all three Migos members resolved charges tied to an April 2015 arrest, and that Offset had been the only member held without bond for months [1].

On December 4, 2015, WSB-TV said, Kiari Kendrell Cephus pleaded guilty to riot in a penal institution but did not admit he committed the act. Prosecutors dropped drug, gun and gang charges as part of the deal. The plea, the station reported, carried five years of probation, a $1,000 fine and a ban from Jenkins, Bulloch, Screven and Effingham counties [1].

The Statesboro Herald, citing Clerk of Courts Heather McNeal, described that plea as an Alford plea, a guilty plea in which the defendant still asserts innocence. The paper said the district attorney would not pursue a battery charge under the agreement, and that he was barred from the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, which includes Bulloch County [2].

Is Offset still married?

Billboard reported on August 1, 2024, that Cardi B had filed for divorce a second time and had asked for primary custody of their daughter Kulture and son Wave. Billboard later named a third child with him, Blossom, and also named three children from his earlier relationships: Jordan, Kody and Kalea [13][15].

The split was not finished as of Billboard’s September 23, 2025 report. In a social-audio conversation that week, Cardi B said she was still married because, in her words, “somebody wants me to pay for their taxes.” Billboard also said she described other conditions, including a property. Those are her claims, not findings from a court order we reviewed [14].

We have not seen a reliable 2026 report that the divorce has been finalized, so we do not treat the marriage as over in legal terms.

What do we know about the Florida shooting?

Billboard reported that Offset was shot on April 6, 2026, outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. A representative told the magazine he was in the hospital receiving care. Local police said injuries in the valet-area incident were not life-threatening and that the person who was shot went to Memorial Regional Hospital [15].

CNN, citing his representative, said he was in stable condition and identified him by his legal name. Rolling Stone reported on April 10, 2026, that a spokesperson said he had been released from the hospital and was walking. The magazine printed a handwritten note he posted, in which he thanked fans and wrote that he was focused on family, recovery and music [17][18].

Lil Tjay, whose legal name is Tione Merritt, was arrested in connection with the incident and charged with disorderly conduct, Rolling Stone and NBC 6 reported. His attorney, Dawn Florio, said he had not been charged with any shooting and called contrary claims false. As of Rolling Stone’s April 10 report, local police had not formally charged anyone with the shooting and said the investigation was ongoing. We do not name a shooter [18][19].

What was the Los Angeles dispensary case?

This matter is a charged case that later went into a diversion program, not a conviction. Rolling Stone, citing court filings, said prosecutors alleged that on March 13, 2025, at a MedMen dispensary near Los Angeles International Airport, Cephus refused to show identification and then punched a security guard. Prosecutors said he left after the guard used pepper spray. Those are allegations from the filings, not a verdict [20].

The magazine reported that he faced a misdemeanor assault charge. On July 15, 2026, a Los Angeles judge approved a diversion agreement, which Offset did not attend in person. Rolling Stone said the criminal charge will be dismissed if he completes 50 hours of community service, attends an anger management program and avoids further legal violations for 12 months. Prosecutors had opposed diversion and called the episode a crime of violence against the victim [20].

His lawyer, Christy O’Connor, wrote that more than 14 months had passed since what she called an embarrassing and regretful incident, and that he had stayed out of trouble while providing for his children, according to Rolling Stone [20].
