Most recently, Offset debuted the second taste of KIARI, the high-class cut “Professional,” a bouncing post-trap anthem that finds our host asserting his status in the culture, on the streets, and behind closed doors. The song came with a luxe video filmed at the exclusive celebrity-filled New York eatery Lucien, AQUI.
In June, Offset dropped KIARI’s scorching lead single “Bodies” apresentando J.I.D., which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, became the #1 added song at Urban Radio, and racked up universal praise from fans and critics , including The Source (“a bold summer return”), BET (“smash single”), UPROXX (“Offset and J.I.D. go hard”), HotNewHipHop (“urgent, reflective, and necessary”), and Complex, who ranked the Dreamville rapper’s verse as the sixth best of the year so far.
Meanwhile, Vibe called the song , which samples Drowning Pool’s iconic 2001 hit, “Bodies” , an “earth-shattering lyrical clinic [where Offset] brought his hard-nosed, aggressive flow, which matches the 808s and drums, and fellow ATLien J.I.D. dropped one of his best guest verses ever. Set and JID do such a good job making this song their own.” Offset e J.I.D. sat down with Variety e Genius to breakdown the creation of “Bodies.”
Offset’s been making waves elsewhere too. He recently made a triumphant return to Hot Ones, where he discussed his mindset as a solo artist and the origins of his forays into acting. He also made headlines by sitting down for the revealing premiere episode of Complex‘s “Interview with a Magician,” as well as for his show-stealing set at Milwaukee’s Summerfest late last month when he brought a fan onstage for an unforgettable performance of Migos hit “Walk It Talk It”.
Stay tuned for much more from Offset as we approach the long-awaited release of KIARI.

ABOUT OFFSET
Praised for his blistering flows, pummeling anthems, and theatrical showmanship, Offset is one of the most influential GRAMMY-nominated rap icons from the South. He reaffirmed that status with his last project, SET IT OFF, a sophomore solo album that’s dynamic yet deeply personal. Checking in at 21 songs, it’s Offset in all his thematic and stylistic multitudes.
For the critically acclaimed, smooth Don Tolliver-assisted “WORTH IT” (which the duo performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), Offset flexes his diversity as an artist willing to experiment. But beneath the dripped-out machismo, there’s an evolving father of five learning to reckon with the man he’s becoming. Oscillating between invincibility and vulnerability, SET IT OFF is just the latest step in a musical and personal evolution that creates both artistic gems and personal catharsis.
As part of the supergroup Migos, Offset became a force in pop culture, with songs like “Bad and Boujee” and albums like Cultura cementing him as a legend in the making. As he helped re-popularize the triplet rhythm and collected over 40 platinum plaques as part of the trio, Offset later cultivated a reputation as a legend in his own right. He had standout guest verses on Kodak Black’s “Zeze” and Tyga’s “Taste,” which is Diamond certified. In 2019, he reinforced his solo career with Father of Four, which included the 3x platinum hit record “Clout.” Now, Offset is racing from the man he was to the man he’s supposed to be , resolute, reflective, and relentlessly energetic.
His influence transcends music into fashion, from gracing runways and designing his own merch and videos, to appearing in shows like NCIS Los Angeles e Baby Shark. To date, Offset has amassed over 2 billion streams as a solo artist in the U.S. alone.
