AceShowbiz - Cardi B is feeling enough already. The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker has slammed those who are trying to make her husband Offset look like the "bad guy" after he filed a lawsuit against Quality Control Music over ownership of his solo music.
Weighing in on the controversy, the 29-year-old raptress wrote via Instagram, "Offset bought himself out his Qc deal after they didn't want to renegotiate his contract." Further defending her hubby, she said, "I'm tired of people trying to make offset look like the bad guy ….ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"
According to TMZ Hip Hop, Offset is suing Quality Control Music for allegedly ignoring a deal they made back in January 2021. In the legal docs filed on Tuesday, August 23, the "Ric Flair Drip" emcee stated that he "paid handsomely" for his artist rights. However, his ex-label reportedly is not honoring the deal, claiming that it attached the label name to his recent single, "5 4 3 2 1", on streaming services.
Offset dropped "5 4 3 2 1" on August 19 along with its official music video. "F**kin' on me, like I'm Tupac Shakur (Thug), 35K for the seats on the floor," the rhymer, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, raps in the Baby Keem-produced song. "Yes, it's the wave, you don't gotta show it (Hah), starin' at me, but I don't want the w***e (No)."
After filing a lawsuit against his former label, Offset accused its CEO Pierre "Pee" Thomas of blackballing him. The 30-year-old hip-hop artist brought up the accusation when responding to Pee's tweet that read, "The last lawsuit was filed publicly and dismissed quietly. Let's see how this one go." It added, "Been too real for all this lame s**t. Everyone know the real problem."
In response, Offset argued, "N***as act like Im the problem I paid millions to get my rights back." He further fumed, "N***a you blackballed me I ain't said s**t one time homie I ain't spoke to you in 2 years now I drop and you want ya name on my credit?"
