The ongoing divorce between rappers Cardi B and Offset has taken a dramatic turn in court. According to recently obtained court documents, Offset filed a request for a paternity test on the baby boy that Cardi B welcomed last November with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. A judge has since denied that request, bringing a fresh wave of attention to a split that has rarely been out of the headlines.
The court order, issued in late February, lays out several rulings tied to the couple’s divorce proceedings. While the paternity test involving the Diggs baby was rejected, the judge did approve a separate DNA test on another one of Cardi B’s children, though specific details surrounding that request remain limited. Birth dates referenced in the filings were redacted from the documents.
How it all unfolded
Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, and Offset, whose legal name is Kiari Cephus, secretly married in September 2017. Their relationship played out largely in public, marked by both celebrated highs and very public tensions. Cardi filed for divorce in July 2024, and in a move that stunned fans, she announced her third pregnancy with Offset just one day after the filing. The couple share three children together including Kulture, age seven, Wave, age four, and Blossom, who is 18 months old. Offset also has three children from previous relationships.
Cardi’s relationship with Stefon Diggs moved quickly after the divorce filing. The two went public in June 2025 and announced they were expecting a child just four months later. Their son was born in November 2025. The pair have since parted ways.
What the court has ordered
Beyond the paternity rulings, the judge issued an additional directive that speaks to just how public this divorce has become. Both Cardi B and Offset have been prohibited from making negative or damaging remarks about one another on social media or in interviews. Given that both have large platforms and have previously addressed their split in very public ways, the restriction adds a notable layer of accountability to the proceedings.
Offset
Neither side has offered an official response to the latest court developments. Representatives for both Cardi B and Offset have remained silent on the update, leaving fans and observers to piece together what comes next from the documents alone.
What is clear is that this divorce, now approaching its second year in the legal system, continues to evolve in ways that few anticipated. With children, new relationships, and now competing legal requests all woven into the case, the road to a final resolution still appears to have several miles left on it.
