*Rapper Offset opens up about his strained relationship with his father in a new profile with Esquire, describing how when he was a baby, his dad “got into the streets.”
The last time the Migos member spoke with his father was three years ago, when Offset’s career was taking off. And the time before that was on Offset’s 12th birthday Complex reports.
“I had paper and I couldn’t wait to tell him,” Offset said his early success. But when he offered his dad money, his dad turned him down, even though his living situation wasn’t stable.

“It just started to make me upset. I’ve reached out and you’ve slapped my hand. You slapped my hand when it wasn’t even out. You didn’t even come back to put anything in my hand. So now I feel like you don’t have any respect for me. You’re still running and you don’t have to,” Offset told Esquire.
The candid interview arrives ahead Offset’s debut solo album “Father of 4.”
“If my daddy called me right now,” he says, “I’d get on a jet, buy him a house, give him a million dollars, and I won’t talk to him for another ten years. At least I’d know he’s straight.”
On Thursday, Offset tweeted about his kids and the kinds of stories you’ll hear on his new album, which is out now.
“This album means the world to me took my time with the project,” he wrote, adding, “Take your time listening very special stories within the songs.”
