DJ Akademiks claims that Saweetie slept with Offset while he was married to Cardi B [VIDEO]

Akademiks Livestream Reignites Saweetie–Offset Affair Speculation

In the chaotic world of hip-hop gossip, few rumors have had the staying power or polarizing impact of the alleged affair between Saweetie and Offset. The speculation first emerged in early 2021. This rumor has been blamed for everything from the breakup of Migos to Cardi B’s relationship struggles. And despite repeated denials from all parties, the rumor has once again resurfaced early this morning, thanks to DJ Akademiks. He was fanning the flames on a livestream response to Offset on the Joe Budden Podcast.

While the story has made for juicy clickbait and endless speculation on social media, there’s one truth that continues to elude even the most determined rumor mill: there is still no evidence that Saweetie and Offset ever had an affair.

The Origin of the Saweetie-Offset Rumor

The rumor gained traction shortly after Saweetie’s high-profile breakup with Quavo in March 2021. The couple, once celebrated for their chemistry and lavish public displays of affection, split amid vague accusations of infidelity. Fans were quick to dig for clues, and soon, a whisper campaign began online suggesting that Offset, Quavo’s cousin and fellow Migos member, had hooked up with Saweetie.

Despite zero photographic or digital proof, the story spread like wildfire. Fans theorized that Saweetie had cheated in retaliation for Quavo’s alleged infidelity. Offset and Saweetie both dismissed the gossip as baseless, but the absence of proof didn’t stop the speculation.

The Power of Lyrics: Quavo’s “Messy” and the Explosion

The rumor reached its peak in October 2022 with the release of “Messy,” a track from Quavo and Takeoff’s collaborative album Only Built for Infinity Links. In the song, Quavo raps:

“Girl did my dawg behind my back, but I ain’t stressin’ / You wanted the gang, you should’ve just said it, we would’ve blessed it / Now things got messy.”

To many fans, “dawg” was a thinly veiled reference to Offset. Combined with Migos’ sudden disbandment and apparent tension among the members, this line became the centerpiece of fan theories. Despite Quavo later denying that the lyric referred specifically to Offset or Saweetie, the damage was done.

Cardi B Responds

As the narrative swirled, Cardi B became the most vocal defender of her marriage. In August 2022, she directly addressed a Twitter user who accused Offset of sleeping with Saweetie:

“No baby you lying! You makin crazy lies… WIT NO RECEIPTS.”

In a 2023 appearance on The Jason Lee Show, she added:

“I know what’s going on in my house… I’m not gonna entertain the bullshit.”

Even as she filed for divorce in July 2024 (her second filing, after a 2020 attempt), Cardi maintained that Offset’s infidelity had nothing to do with Saweetie.

The Akademiks Revival

Fast forward to this morning, and DJ Akademiks has reignited the fire, responding to Offset’s interview on the Joe Budden Podcast on his livestream that the Saweetie-Offset affair was “absolutely true.” His only evidence? Unverified hearsay. Nonetheless, posts across X (formerly Twitter) ran with the headline that the rumor had been “confirmed.”

The lack of new information didn’t stop people from recycling old theories and reinterpreting Saweetie’s public moves. As always, the story proved too good to let die.

Saweetie’s Silence Speaks Volumes

Saweetie has never directly addressed the Offset rumor. Her only public pushbacks have come indirectly. In November 2022, she responded to criticism from Joe Budden about her cryptic lyrics by doubling down on her music-first approach. And in December 2024, she cleared up speculation involving 21 Savage but said nothing about Offset.

Her silence has led some to assume guilt, but others argue she shouldn’t be expected to dignify baseless accusations. Supporters note that she’s consistently shown admiration for Cardi B. As a result, publicly praising her music multiple times over the years.

Quavo and Offset’s Fractured Relationship

Tension between Quavo and Offset became impossible to ignore after Takeoff’s tragic death in November 2022. The group never fully reconciled, and though both men spoke of family loyalty in interviews, the brotherhood seemed strained.

While Quavo’s “Messy” lyrics sparked the rumor, he has gone on record denying that it was about Offset and Saweetie. Still, fans have used the track as a Rorschach test, projecting whatever narrative best fits their theories.

Celebrity Gossip, Misogyny, and Fan Wars

What keeps this rumor alive isn’t evidence—it’s a toxic cocktail of celebrity obsession, misogyny, and online tribalism. Fans of Cardi B (Bardigang) and Nicki Minaj (Barbz) have long used rumors as weapons in their digital war. Saweetie, as a woman with ties to both sides, became an easy target.

Critics argue that the rumor’s persistence exposes double standards. Offset, who has admitted to cheating in the past, escapes much of the scorn directed at Saweetie, who’s never been caught or confirmed to have done anything wrong.

The Cost of Gossip in Hip-Hop

Hip-hop has always lived at the intersection of storytelling, bravado, and rumor. But the current ecosystem—where podcasts, social media, and online gossip accounts drive narratives—means unverified claims can go viral before anyone has a chance to fact-check.

In this case, a vague lyric, an old grudge, and a few speculative tweets spiraled into a full-blown scandal that impacted real relationships and possibly helped fracture one of rap’s biggest groups.

Conclusion: The Rumor Lives On, But the Truth Remains Elusive

As of press time, there is still no proof that Saweetie and Offset had an affair. All statements from the parties involved point to denial, and no receipts have ever surfaced. Yet the rumor remains alive, resurrected by personalities like DJ Akademiks and weaponized by gossip-hungry audiences.

What the story reveals is less about the alleged participants and more about the culture surrounding them. In a media landscape driven by virality, truth often takes a backseat to spectacle. Until concrete evidence emerges—if it ever does—this will remain what it has always been: a rumor built on shadows.

For now, Saweetie continues her career, Offset and Cardi B co-parent in the public eye, and hip-hop’s favorite conspiracy theory lives on in comment sections and late-night Twitter threads.
