Offset denies posting “My Kid lol” about Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ baby, calls the claim ‘fabricated misinformation’
Fans accuse Offset of gaslighting after spokesperson denies paternity post that fueled Cardi B’s emotional outburst
Offset is pushing back against viral claims that he posted and deleted a “My Kid lol” Instagram story referring to Cardi B’s newborn son with NFL player Stefon Diggs. The post appeared over the weekend. It ignited a social media firestorm and triggered an emotional response from Cardi B. She accused her estranged husband of harassment, obsession, and manipulation.
In a statement shared by reporter Loren Lorosa, Offset’s spokesperson firmly denied the authenticity of the alleged post. Thus, calling it “completely fabricated” and “misinformation.” The statement emphasized that “Offset has remained supportive of Cardi and genuinely wishes her nothing but the best.” But while Offset’s camp insists the screenshot was fake, fans aren’t buying it — many claim they saw the post in real time before it was deleted.
The controversy now sits at the intersection of celebrity drama and legal complexity, as Georgia’s marital presumption laws have become a talking point in Cardi and Offset’s unresolved divorce.
Background on the Relationship and Legal Context
The situation traces back to Cardi B’s long and tumultuous marriage to Offset, marked by multiple separations and reconciliations. Cardi filed for divorce in July 2024, citing irreconcilable differences after years of alleged infidelity. But despite living separately and publicly moving on, the divorce remains legally pending — and that unresolved status is what sparked the current storm.
Cardi welcomed her fourth child, a baby boy, with Stefon Diggs in early November. However, under Georgia’s marital presumption law, a child born while a marriage is still legally active is presumed to be the husband’s — in this case, Offset — unless disproven by a paternity test or court filing.
That legal nuance became the basis of speculation on social media. As a result, some users are suggesting Offset could attempt to claim paternity. When a screenshot surfaced of him allegedly posting “My Kid lol” in response to reports about the law, social media erupted. Within hours, the post was deleted. However, not before fans grabbed screenshots, sparking furious debate about whether it was real or doctored.
The Infamous Post and Cardi B’s Explosive Response
Once the alleged “My Kid lol” story began circulating, Cardi B went live on social media in a three-minute emotional rant, saying she was “tired” of Offset’s harassment and feared for her safety. She claimed Offset had threatened her, sent revenge porn, and refused to finalize their divorce.
“Leave me the heck alone,” Cardi said tearfully during the livestream. “It’s going to get real bad.”
Her outburst dominated headlines, with fans expressing concern and frustration over Offset’s alleged behavior. Many tied his supposed post to a pattern of emotional manipulation that has played out publicly for years.
However, with Offset’s denial now in circulation, the story has shifted once again — and the court of public opinion remains sharply divided.
Offset’s Official Denial
This evening (November 17), journalist Loren Lorosa posted a statement from Offset’s spokesperson, reading:
“Any statements attributed to Offset circulating on social media are completely fabricated. Cardi responded to misinformation, and the situation escalated unnecessarily. Offset has remained supportive of Cardi and genuinely wishes her nothing but the best.”
According to sources cited by TMZ and Page Six, Offset’s team maintains that the supposed “My Kid lol” post never existed and that doctored screenshots were used to fuel false narratives. The statement attempts to position Offset as the calm party amid a storm of misinformation.
But skepticism immediately followed. Multiple users shared timestamps, screen recordings, and cached versions they claimed captured the post before deletion. One fan tweeted, “We saw that post in real time — stop gaslighting us.” Others accused the rapper of hiding behind PR spin rather than addressing deeper issues in his relationship with Cardi.
Fans Reject Denial and Accuse Gaslighting
Social media sentiment quickly turned against Offset after the denial went public. Under Lorosa’s post, replies flooded in from fans who insisted they witnessed the post firsthand.
“Multiple people saw the story in real time. Stop allowing a man who is actively harassing his ex to lie to you,” wrote @BardiUpdatess, earning over 200 likes.
Another added, “We saw that post and delete in real time. This is textbook gaslighting and abuse.”
Users accused Offset’s team of attempting to rewrite the narrative, comparing the denial to other instances where men have deflected blame after public missteps. Others expressed frustration with Lorosa for publishing the statement, alleging bias and downplaying Cardi’s perspective.
Meanwhile, Cardi B supporters flooded timelines with old screenshots, tagged media outlets, and reposted excerpts from her livestream, demanding accountability. The phrase “Offset is gaslighting” began trending, illustrating how little faith fans have in his explanation.
Broader Cultural and Legal Implications
While the online debate centers on drama, the underlying issue is rooted in law. Georgia’s marital presumption statute makes Offset’s legal standing complicated: because Cardi’s divorce isn’t finalized, he remains her legal husband. If he chose to, Offset could file to contest paternity — though experts note that DNA testing would quickly settle the matter in Diggs’ favor.
For Cardi, the concern is less about legal loopholes and more about harassment. Her rants highlight an emotional toll: years of alleged infidelity, public embarrassment, and attempts to move on hindered by legal ties. She’s also accused Offset of financial manipulation, referencing his rumored $2.3 million in unpaid taxes and claiming he uses the divorce to stall proceedings.
Stefon Diggs, for his part, has avoided fueling the fire. He’s reportedly focused on his NFL season, though fans have noticed his quiet support — liking Cardi’s posts and refraining from public comment, which many view as a deliberate show of maturity amid the chaos.
X Reactions: Outrage, Support, and Speculation
X (formerly Twitter) has become the battleground for this saga. Data from recent threads show the conversation is dominated by three types of responses: anger at Offset, support for Cardi and Diggs, and humor about the absurdity of it all.
- Backlash Against Offset:
“We saw it. Stop lying. Offset’s been gaslighting Cardi for YEARS,” wrote a popular X blog, echoing hundreds of similar posts.
Another user, @HTXAngel8, added, “He’s lying af. We saw it in real time!” - Support for Cardi:
“Cardi’s been through hell with that man. She’s finally happy, and y’all still dragging her,” wrote @ISUPPORTTHEBRIM.
“Diggs is the father, period. The baby’s last name is Diggs. End of discussion,” added @ZINISHI10. - Humor and Legal Takes:
Some users dissected Georgia’s laws, while others joked about Offset’s possible obligations. One viral post read: “So Cardi can get child support from Offset for Diggs’ baby — make it make sense!”
Despite the humor, the dominant tone is exhaustion. Fans are frustrated that what should have been a celebratory time for Cardi — the birth of her child — has devolved into yet another public spat with her ex.
Conclusion
Offset’s denial may have aimed to deescalate the situation, but the reaction suggests it did the opposite. By labeling the viral post “fabricated misinformation,” his team hoped to reset the narrative — instead, it deepened fans’ distrust.
For Cardi B, the ordeal reinforces her claims of harassment and emotional fatigue. As she continues to raise her newborn son with Stefon Diggs, public sympathy appears firmly on her side, while Offset’s credibility faces renewed scrutiny.
Whether the alleged “My Kid lol” post was real or not, the fallout reflects a deeper truth: the internet rarely forgets, and in a public divorce as volatile as this one, denials can sometimes inflame the fire rather than put it out.
