As a solo act, he first released the collaborative album Without Warning (2017) with record producer Metro Boomin and fellow Georgia-based rapper 21 Savage.

[3][4] The following year, he guest appeared on Tyga's 2018 single "Taste", which became his first top ten hit on the latter chart as a soloist,[5] and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

A commercial success, the album matched Without Warning on the Billboard 200[8] and spawned the top 40 single "Clout" (featuring Cardi B),[9] which was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.

His marriage to fellow rapper Cardi B—with whom he has three children—has been heavily publicized; the couple separated in late 2023, filing for divorce in August 2024.

[13][14] Offset, along with fellow Migos group members, was born and raised in Gwinnett County, Georgia, adjacent to Atlanta.

[21] In June 2017, he was featured on Metro Boomin's single "No Complaints" alongside Drake, which peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100,[22] and in September he joined Macklemore on the song "Willy Wonka", from the album Gemini.

[23] Offset would eventually release a collaborative studio album with rapper 21 Savage and record producer Metro Boomin titled, Without Warning.

[25] It spawned the hit song "Ric Flair Drip", Offset's first solo platinum single, and highest charting US Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist to date.

[26][27] In January 2018, Offset was criticized for rapping a line that includes the lyrics "I cannot vibe with queers" in his feature on YFN Lucci's "Boss Life".

[33] Following the release of the fourth Migos album, Culture III in June 2021, Offset was featured on the soundtrack of Fast & Furious 9 on the song "Hit Em Hard" along with Trippie Redd, Kevin Gates, Lil Durk and King Von.

[35][36] In August 2022, Offset announced his second studio album and released two new singles, "54321" and "Code" with Moneybagg Yo, along with the music video featuring model Bella Hadid.

His legal team said that he "paid handsomely" for his solo artist rights following the negotiation last year, but now QC has allegedly attempted to claim his latest track as its own.

[40][41] In October 2022, disbandment of Migos became the subject of speculation based on reports that Offset had slept with Quavo's ex-girlfriend Saweetie.

[42] Following this, Quavo and Takeoff released a collaborative album titled Only Built for Infinity Links on October 7, 2022, without Offset's input despite no formal split.

[59] When Migos first rose to prominence in 2013, Offset was incarcerated in Georgia's DeKalb County Jail for violating his probation that he had received due to prior felony convictions for burglary and theft.

[60] On May 2, 2015, Offset, while in custody, was charged with battery and inciting a riot within a penal facility after attacking another inmate, causing severe injury.

Offset's attorney argued that the rap trio were unfairly profiled by law enforcement and that officers had failed to prove ownership of the firearms and illicit drugs found within the two vans.

The prosecution responded that law enforcement were present at the concert for the safety of the students and public at-large due to Migos' history of violence.

The deal dropped the gun, drug, and gang-related charges in exchange for pleading guilty to inciting a riot within a penal facility, paying a $1,000 fine, serving five years probation, and being banished from Bulloch, Effingham, Jenkins, and Screven counties.

[65][66] On October 24, 2020, Offset was detained by the Beverly Hills Police Department near a Donald Trump rally for carrying a concealed weapon.

Offset reportedly rented a Bentley Bentayga from the company in May 2020, pushed back the return date multiple times, and after July 4, claimed the car was gone and had no idea where it was.
