Offset, the ex-husband of Cardi B, is currently facing significant financial and legal troubles amidst his ongoing divorce proceedings. Recent reports from Complex on November 1, 2025, reveal that the rapper has been hit with over $2.3 million in tax liens from federal and state authorities.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has filed two separate federal liens against Offset, one for $486,426.35 for 2023 and another for $1,575,266.73 for 2022. Additionally, the Georgia Department of Revenue has also filed a claim for unpaid 2021 income taxes amounting to $266,702.21. These tax issues have arisen at the same time as the release of Offset’s surprise solo album, “Haunted By Fame,” which features collaborations with NBA YoungBoy, Lil Dump, and NoCap.
Court filings reviewed by Complex indicate that the IRS’s claims were filed in mid-October, while the state-level lien dates back to March, bringing the rapper’s total outstanding tax balance to over $2.3 million. These financial complications coincide with Offset’s divorce proceedings with Cardi B, whom he married in 2017 and shares three children with. The couple has been separated since Cardi filed for divorce earlier in 2025.
In February, Offset sought joint custody and spousal support from Cardi B. In a September X (formerly Twitter) Spaces session, Cardi accused her ex-husband of attempting to drain her financially, stating, “The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes and give them one of my properties. I’m fighting for that.” There have been rumors of a multi-million-dollar settlement between Cardi B and Offset with an asset split arrangement favoring the latter, but no official confirmations have been made.
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, has an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He rose to fame as a member of the Atlanta trio Migos alongside Quavo and the late Takeoff. Migos achieved success with albums like “Yung Rich Nation” in 2015 and the “Culture” series in 2017, 2018, and 2021. Offset’s solo career has also been prosperous, with his debut album “Father of 4” reaching No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in 2019.
Despite his legal history and financial challenges, Offset’s music and business ventures have helped maintain his overall net worth. His investments in esports organization FaZe Clan, collaborations with various brands, and successful music career have contributed to his financial stability. Offset’s ongoing legal and financial issues serve as a reminder of the complexities that can arise in the intersection of personal life and career in the entertainment industry.
