Greetings, everyone! Welcome. There’s been quite the buzz as of late surrounding Offset’s former partner, Shia La’mour, who has broken her silence regarding Offset and Cardi B, airing their issues on social media. To provide some context, Shia is a rapper herself and has been connected to various hip-hop circles. Her encounter with Offset dates back to 2014, resulting in the birth of their daughter, Kalia Cephas, who is now five years old. Offset initially expressed surprise upon learning about his paternity in his song “Father of Four,” admitting uncertainty about his role as a father. He later elaborated on the situation during an interview on The Breakfast Club, revealing the emotional turmoil he experienced upon discovering he might have a daughter. However, Offset also mentioned feeling blindsided when Shia reached out to his mother on Facebook, airing their private matters publicly. It seems there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
Shia took to Instagram Live to share that despite not being in a relationship with Offset, he was aware of her existence. She attempted to contact him multiple times before resorting to reaching out to his mother. Offset was avoiding her due to already having a pregnant girlfriend. Shia expressed gratitude for Offset stepping up, acknowledging the challenges of being pregnant and unable to reach the father. Despite his acceptance of some responsibility, she felt he was unfairly shifting blame onto her through the media. She emphasized that both were responsible for their child, conceived during a casual encounter on the Fourth of July. Shia clarified that she never publicly disclosed their situation and always knew who the father was. She highlighted that Offset hadn’t met their child until she was a year old, and she had to contact him through indirect means due to being blocked from all communication channels.
I used to forward you all the booking emails, correspondence, anything you gave me. You know what I’m saying? I even sent those emails when our daughter was born, sharing her pictures. I was like, “Let me just hold off,” you know? I get it, maybe you didn’t trust me, so I suggested a DNA test when I was pregnant. That’s a reasonable request, right? Don’t pin it all on me for why you only started showing up recently, as if we had no contact. I wasn’t just a one-night stand; I didn’t even have your number, like I explained. You see what I’m saying? Don’t make me look foolish out here, trying to justify why you weren’t stepping up. I don’t know, maybe because things were going well for me, you felt intimidated? You can’t silence me; I’ll speak up. I’ve been into music long before I met you. So, that’s my side of the story. After going live and addressing Offset, things smoothed out between us. I even went to TMZ, acknowledging that he’s improving as a father and a man, thanks to Cardi B’s support. It seemed like we were all good. But then things got tense again when I asked Offset for more child support. He’s been providing minimal support, and now I’m taking him to court for more. He’s even holding back because I declined him. Cardi B tweeted something cryptic like she wants to see proof, and I provided it.
This serves as evidence that she shared on social media. It consisted of text exchanges between her and Offset from 2018, a period coinciding with Cardi B’s final trimester of pregnancy. Initially, she expressed reluctance to share, citing disrespect from Offset and Cardi B despite her attempts at civility and understanding. The revelation of their marriage, made public simultaneously with her discovery, prompted her to sever ties. The exchanged messages depicted Offset pleading, “Can I have it one more time?” followed by insistent inquiries about her whereabouts. Her response, “My people’s house. What’s up?” was met with Offset’s query, “Bro, if I ignore you, you gonna cry?” The dialogue was punctuated by laughing emojis as she remarked, “You’ve been ignoring me for four,” before truncating the exchange. Additionally, she shared another interaction where Offset asked if she still wanted to meet, to which she replied, “I thought you needed me.” Her final retort emphasized her commitment to their daughter and her refusal to engage with a married man. She emphasized that she learned about Offset’s marital status simultaneously with the public revelation, clarifying her stance against involvement with married individuals. Despite her unawareness of Cardi B and Offset’s secret marriage, she acknowledged his relationship with Cardi and chose to cease any further physical involvement upon learning of their marriage.
Finally, she shared this on her Instagram story: “As I mentioned, now you understand our presence here. I could easily manipulate him and get whatever I desire, but I chose not to. Nonetheless, that’s no reason to take it out on your seat.” Interestingly, Cardi remained notably quiet on social media after Shia exposed Offset’s persistent attempts to reconnect with her. However, rumors circulated that Cardi B had privately threatened Shia. Shia then vented on Twitter: “Talking about slapping me because your man’s lacking, LOL. Go ahead, slap me. Women are supposed to support each other, but some aren’t secure enough for that.” Additionally, she took to Instagram to reveal Cardi B’s threats, stating, “I tried to handle this privately and respectfully. Yet, she continues with disrespect, threatening me for the second time. I’m fed up with trying to maintain respect. It’s like conversing with a brick wall. These people are dense.” Shia emphasized the importance of women supporting each other, especially when dealing with unfaithful partners. She expressed frustration at Cardi B’s entitled behavior and vowed not to remain silent any longer. Observing this drama unfold, I couldn’t help but wish Shia had handled things differently. While I empathize with her struggles, public confrontations may not be the best approach. Offset’s negligence in child support payments and Cardi B’s threats undoubtedly add to her stress, but resolving such issues privately would be more prudent. I recall Offset’s previous baby mama, Justine, also addressing child support matters, but she chose a more discreet path. Unlike Shia, Justine maintains a low profile on social media. Shia, on the other hand, seems to embrace the limelight, unafraid to voice her grievances publicly. While I admire her outspoken nature, perhaps some matters are best addressed behind closed doors.
“That’s her approach, but I strongly disagree with it. However, I do believe there are better ways she could handle the situation. Especially for the sake of her child, she could opt for a more mature approach. Considering her daughter will be exposed to her father, her sister Culture, and her stepmother Cardi B, it’s essential to avoid unnecessary drama. As for Cardi B, I’m perplexed by her consistent targeting of other women in situations like this. Instead of addressing her husband’s actions, she directs her anger towards the women involved. She seems more upset about Shia calling out Offset than about Offset’s questionable behavior, like withholding child support over personal matters or attempting advances even during their marriage. If he’s behaving this way with Shia, it’s likely he’s done the same with his other children’s mothers. Cardi B should be focusing on her husband’s conduct, urging him to fulfill his responsibilities and refrain from embarrassing her. If Offset prioritized faithfulness, there would be no need for these revelations.
