Offset’s oldest child is his son Jordan, whom he had with a woman named Justin Watson. Jordan’s mother attempted to sue the rapper for child support and $ 15,000 in legal fees in 2017, claiming that he was not taking care of their son. Offset acknowledged that he is Jordan’s father but denied the allegations of not being present for his son and requested joint custody. In the following years, the rapper seems to have resolved all issues with Jordan’s mother and has posted sweet photos of his eldest son on Instagram.
The Migos rapper admitted that his first experience of fatherhood was not perfect. «The journey of fatherhood was quite difficult for me at the beginning», - Offset said in an interview with Haute Living in February 2019. «I was trying to find myself. I didn’t have a clear understanding of what it meant to be a father. I definitely made mistakes, but I don’t regret it. It’s hard when you have a career like this and you’re constantly on the move. It’s difficult to see your kids, especially when they’re little. But now that I’m older, I’m learning from my experiences».
He also reflected on his relationship with his firstborn in the 2019 track «Father of 4». In it, he raps: «I was seventeen when I had you, Trying to find my soul when you came through. I was so broke when you were born, Locked up in jail when you were born, Jordan, I’m sorry I missed all your birthdays».
In 2015, Offset became the father of his second son, Kody, with a woman named Oriel Jamie. After Offset got engaged to Cardi, Oriel sent the couple a cryptic message on SnapChat. «Congrats to the dad of my son and his stepmom, whom he hasn’t even met yet», - she wrote. «I hope he at least gets an invitation to the wedding».
Since then, it seems everything has settled down. Both Offset and Cardi love sharing photos of their blended family online.
Offset shared how he made extra efforts to attend Kody’s first football game in September 2022. He spent a significant amount on a private jet to make it to the game, telling his followers on Twitter, «Spent 50k on a plane to not miss Kody’s first football game… can’t miss moments like this».
Offset’s first daughter was born to another rapper, Shia L’Amour. In March, Offset posted a heartfelt message on Instagram to celebrate Kalea’s sixth birthday. «You are my beautiful little queen, your heart is full of joy and happiness, I love you with all my heart», - he wrote in the caption.
Offset admitted that it was initially difficult for him to learn about Kalea. In a conversation with Power 105.1 on The Breakfast Club in February 2019, he said, «It was one of the hardest moments of my life, to be honest. I heard that I had a child. When I saw the baby, I knew it was me. But she was five months old, and I didn’t even know her. This is my first daughter. But even before I confirmed it, I knew. And she’s so beautiful that I couldn’t treat her any other way»
