Offset‘s father “Tony” (real name Michael Woodward) has had enough of the family drama between his rapper son and his estranged wife, Cardi B. On Facebook, the MC’s dad wrote a lengthy post about the devastating effects fame and spotlight have had on his family.
“Right now, my family is going through a tumultuous time,” he wrote in a group for the brothers of the Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha fraternities. “What you see in the media is only the tip of the iceberg. Social media is a powerful tool, but certainly no place for family situations; however, our youth, specifically my son’s wife doesn’t understand that. She seems to want to take everything to social media without regard to the devastation it has on others, past present and future or specifically what it does to the other children.”
While Offset’s father admits that his son has done his “fair share of dirt” and isn’t innocent in the recent divorce situation, he says the “whole scenario is a never-ending drama session.” He also calls out Cardi for posting a picture of Baby Kulture “out of spite,” going against the wishes of Offset and the family.
“It’s a tic for tack, mudslinging situation fueled by jealousy, envy, insecurities, psychological issues, drugs, etc, etc, etc,” he continued. “While he ain’t perfect, he is mine and as a parent I have a duty to protect him. Right now, I cannot do that.”
Offset made headlines over the weekend for hijacking Cardi’s headlining set at the Rolling Loud Festival in an effort to win her back; the “Money” MC stated she and Offset were separating in early-December.
“We are talking about a 25-year-old with an unlimited supply of money, women chasing him, people at his disposal, etc.,” Offset’s father continued. For the record, Offset is 27. “My whole family is in an uproar right now and I can’t fix it. I would not wish this on anyone. I would give anything to go back to simply being a school teacher and coach.”
