Offset's Tax Troubles: A Look at His Ongoing Financial Challenges and Legal Battles
Rapper Offset has recently settled a $1.5 million tax debt that he owed to the IRS. The tax lien, initially filed in 2024, accused Offset of owing $1,575,266.73 for the year 2022. This payment significantly reduced his tax debt. Additionally, Offset faced another tax lien of $486,426.35 for 2023, which was filed separately by the IRS. Offset and Cardi B went through a divorce in 2024, adding to his financial challenges.
In March 2025, the Georgia Department of Revenue filed another tax lien against Offset for an alleged $292,000 owed for 2021. The original amount due was $167,916, but with interest, penalties, and collection fees, the total amount increased. The total of the unreleased liens amounts to $778,426, adding to Offset's financial burdens.
Cardi B publicly addressed her divorce from Offset in September 2025, revealing that taxes were a significant factor in the prolonged legal process. She expressed frustration over the financial demands associated with the divorce, stating that she felt held hostage by the situation. Despite the challenges, Cardi emphasized her focus on her own happiness and well-being.
Offset and Cardi B share three children together, and Cardi announced in September 2025 that she was expecting a fourth child with her boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs. In addition to his tax issues, Offset is also facing a lawsuit over an alleged assault at a Florida club in 2021. The lawsuit claims that Offset attacked two individuals unprovoked, resulting in injuries that required medical attention.
Offset is currently working to contest a default judgment of $232,000 granted to the alleged assault victims. A hearing is scheduled for February 2026, where Offset will present his case against the judgment. Despite these legal and financial challenges, Offset continues to navigate his personal and professional life amidst ongoing legal battles and financial obligations.
