In a surprising turn of events, Migos member Offset (Kiari Kendrell Cephus) has filed a court order demanding a DNA test for the child of his former wife, Cardi B (Belcalis Almánza), and NFL star Stefon Diggs. The request, made during the couple’s divorce proceedings, has sparked a flurry of media attention and raised questions about paternity, custody, and the future of the high‑profile family.
Offset’s Paternity Test Request
On February 25, 2024, Offset submitted a petition to the court seeking a paternity test for the newborn born to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs in November 2025. The filing, reported by TMZ, indicated that the baby’s birthdate was redacted, but the document described the child as a “newborn.” The request was part of the broader divorce case between the two celebrities, which has been in the public eye since their split in 2024.
Offset’s legal team argued that confirming the father’s identity was essential for determining custody arrangements and ensuring the child’s legal rights. While the court ultimately denied the petition, it did approve a separate request for one of Cardi’s other children to undergo a DNA test. The judge’s decision underscored the complexity of family law when multiple children and high‑profile parties are involved.
Why the Court Denied the Petition
The judge’s ruling was based on several factors. First, the court noted that the child in question was not yet born at the time of the filing, making a DNA test impossible. Second, the judge emphasized that the existing custody agreements for Cardi’s older children—Kulture Kiari (7), Wave Set (4), and Blossom (1)—were already in place and did not require additional verification. Finally, the judge expressed concern that the request could be seen as an attempt to interfere with the child’s future legal status, potentially causing unnecessary legal and emotional complications.
Despite the denial, the court’s approval of a DNA test for one of Cardi’s other children demonstrates that the legal system is open to verifying paternity when it directly impacts custody and child support matters. The decision leaves open the possibility that future petitions could be considered if new evidence or circumstances arise.
The Family’s Timeline: From Love to Divorce
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship began in early 2017 after they collaborated on the track “Lick.” The couple’s romance quickly turned into a whirlwind romance, culminating in a secret wedding in September 2017. Their first child, Kulture Kiari Cephus, was born in 2018, followed by Wave Set Cephus in 2019. The couple’s third child, Blossom, arrived in 2024, the same year Cardi announced her pregnancy with the baby and filed for divorce.
