More cheating accusations are dogging the Migos star, amid their latest breakup and subsequent war of words on social media, much of which went down as the rapper was celebrating his 32nd birthday on Thursday with a bevy of beauties in Miami.
But things seemed to reach a level unacceptable to Set when some fans started using his late partner in rhyme, Takeoff’s name ‘in the middle of all this’ drama.
As a result, Offset took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday and addressed the people who were mentioning Takeoff’s name amid news of his marital issues with Cardi B.
‘Fan wishing death on takeoff is crazy yal lil a** better chill,’ the Lawrenceville, Georgia native first wrote in a reference to his Migos sideman who was gunned down and killed in Houston, Texas in November 2022.
Offset, 32, took to social media and singled out fans for using Takeoff’s name in the middle of all his martial drama with Cardi B, adding that ‘this isn’t cool’
Less than two hours later, and still grieving the loss of Takeoff (born Kirsnick Khari Ball) just over a year later, the father of five clarified his words.
‘Correction: Fans using Takeoff’s name in the middle of all this isn’t cool, he tweeted over the weekend, before adding, ‘I’m still grieving my brother, and would like for his name to not be brought up.’
Quavo (born Quavious Keyate Marshall), who was Takeoff’s uncle along with being a fellow Migos member, appeared to agree with Offset’s message when he took to the conversation on X.
‘Nephew ain’t wit the soap opera LONG LIVE Rocket [rocket ship emoji] [prayer hands emoji] pray for y’all tho [Eleven infinity emojis],’ Quav wrote in his missive, which can be viewed below.
Quavo then posted another message with an image of Takeoff and the words, ‘Us vs Them, along with a rocket ship emoji, which is what his close family and friends called him.
Although Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) didn’t elaborate on what he meant when he wrote ‘in the middle of all this isn’t cool,’ many fans have speculated that he’s referring to his breakup with Cardi B.
Around the time Set was partying it up at the clubs for his birthday in Miami, Cardi took Instagram Live and blasted her estranged husband.
‘A muthaf**ka will play in your f**king face over and over and over and over again,’ Cardi said. ‘This n***a really like to play games with me when I’m at my most vulnerable time. When I’m not the most confident. He like to play games with me because he knows I’m not an easy girl.’
