In the blistering crossfire of rap’s royal rumbles, Offset’s silence has become a thunderclap of controversy. Nicki Minaj’s vicious X rant targeted Cardi B’s 7-year-old daughter Kulture, calling her an “ugly monkey” in a venomous escalation of their feud over album sales and personal digs. The post, deleted amid backlash but screenshotted into eternity, racked 4 million views before vanishing, leaving fans seething at the 42-year-old icon for stooping to bully a child.
Offset, Kulture’s father and co-parent amid his acrimonious divorce from Cardi, has stayed mum, a choice that’s drawn razor-sharp criticism. “A 42-year-old woman dragging your 6-year-old? Speak up!” one viral X thread blasted, echoing a chorus of outrage with 3 million likes. Critics accuse him of paternal failure, painting him as passive in the face of cruelty, while fans speculate he’s dodging the fray to avoid fueling Cardi’s narrative of his “toxicity.” If roles were reversed, they’d demand blood bars, blocks, or both.
The emotional gut-punch lands hard: Kulture, an innocent caught in grown folks’ grudge, her joy weaponized in a war of words. Cardi fired back, apologizing to Nicki’s son Papa Bear for her own low blows, but the damage lingers, a stain on rap’s sisterhood. Fans divide like a cracked mirror; some defend Offset’s restraint as maturity, others decry it as abandonment, their debates a raw ache for every parent watching their child’s name twisted online.
This isn’t shade; it’s a scar, exposing fame’s feral underbelly where kids become collateral. With Offset’s alimony battle raging and Nicki’s Pink Friday 3 on deck, the quiet screams loudest. Will he break it, unleashing a father’s roar, or let the wound fester?
