OFFSET, ON TIME

This past January, in Paris’s 8th arrondissement, Kiari Kendrell Cephus was getting ready for one of the biggest nights of his career. Better known as the rapper Offset, he wore head-to-toe black denim, sunglasses, and a little bit of bling. The venue, a massive church, buzzed with excitement, and some of the supporters included his mother and business manager Latabia Woodward; his fellow Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling Migos bandmates Quavo and Takeoff; and Offset’s wife Cardi B, who wore a custom Mah-Jing Wong catsuit under a faux-fur coat.

The crowd, however, was not there to see Offset perform.
