Offset Embraces Fresh Start With "Move On" Amid Cardi B Divorce

Offset is flipping the page on one of hip-hop's most relentless love affairs, and he is utilizing his music to communicate that something is over, and that something is changing. The 33-year-old rapper, whose given name is Kiari Cephus, spoke recently about his breakup with Cardi B and how the end of their high-profile romance inspired the final track on his new album, "Kiari."

The song, called "Move On," is both a cathartic release and a declaration of peace. Offset chimed in that the song was an opportunity to close an important chapter of his love-torn and turbulent life. "It's about moving on peacefully," he said, insisting that even if the mood of the song isn't perfect, the message is not one of bitterness but acceptance. He also added, "It's all love and peace. I just ended the album with that, just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on, it's over and done with."

Rapper Offset, who has three kids with Cardi B, says he and Cardi are currently separated and their marriage is irretrievably broken. "It was great while it lasted," Offset added, "That shouldn't be the topic for either one of us anymore. It's a book that’s closed." Offset's introspective tone marks a stark departure from the often messy public back-and-forths that have dominated their relationship. Rather than perpetuate negativity, he's opting to focus on growth, fatherhood, and a renewed commitment to his art. And the placement of "Move On" as the ultimate track on the album could hardly be an accident, representing as it does the end not just of his marriage but also of a chapter in his personal life and in terms of his respective creative careers.

And while Cardi B hasn't hesitated to share a few of her frustrations about the ubiquity of divorce, either. However, Offset's approach suggests that he is prepared to put the past behind him and embark on a path of peace and self-discovery. "Kiari" is a testament to perseverance, transformation, and progress. Closing the album with "Move On," Offset makes it clear that the past does not define him, and the future leaves room for him to level up beyond a world of heartbreak.
