Offset doesn't want to compete with estranged wife Cardi B with their new albums
Offset has no intention of competing with his estranged wife Cardi B as she prepares to release her much-anticipated album Am I the Drama?.
Offset doesn't want to go up against his estranged wife Cardi B with their respective new albums.
The Bodies rapper released his latest record Kiari last month and is hoping to see his former partner's second album Am I the Drama? performs well when it is released on September 19 and would rather they didn't compete against one another for awards.
Offset – who has children Kulture, seven, Wave, four and Blossom, 12 months, with the Bodak Yellow hitmaker – told TMZ: "No, no, no. I just want all peace, man, for us to win, everybody gotta win. We got kids to take care of, we got to catch the dubs."
The former Migos rapper confirmed that he will "for sure" support Am I the Drama? when it is released.
Offset, 33, said: "That s*** hard. She's gonna do her big one, too."
Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset for the second time after seven years of marriage in July 2024 and she issued a brusque reply when asked if she "envisioned a lasting friendship with him" following their split.
She told Billboard: "I tried. Next question."
Despite being in the spotlight for several years, Cardi is yet to hit the road with a headlining tour of her own – but she insists that she is holding back until the time is right and prioritising artistry over cash.
The WAP rapper said: "A lot of people say I got comfortable because I make money, but the most money I make is when I go and do shows.
"I could rush and put out music like it’s nothing and then pick up millions of dollars per show, but it’s not about that. I want the music to be great. I want it to be amazing."
Cardi claims that she won't be chasing chart success with Am I the Drama? as she feels that real success goes beyond sales.
The 32-year-old star said: "Winning a Grammy, the most prestigious award, you can never take that from me. But times have changed. Success for me will be people saying, 'She put out a great album.' If [at] 3 a.m. people are talking about the album, that’s going to be success for me because people can’t wait to downplay it. I even want the people who don’t like me to be like, 'Yo. That s*** is fire.' Yeah, eat your f****** fruits."
