Cardi B gave husband Offset props this weekend for being his own man and inspiring her to do things her way. âSo proud of my baby!!,â Cardi wrote on Sunday evening (Oct. 22) of the Migos member and solo star. âGoing against all odds⦠leaving his label, starting fresh, staying focused determined and not letting nothing break him⦠he did that!â she added. The âBongosâ MC then cryptically added, âMY TURN.â
Back in August, Offset ended his lawsuit against Quality Control Music, the label that helped launch him and the Migos into superstardom. TMZ reported at the time that Offset would not work with QC moving forward as a solo artist and that âall disputes and differences were smoothed over.â
A year earlier, the MC born Kiari Cephus filed paperwork in Los Angeles seeking a declaratory judgement âthat Quality Control has no rights, title, or interest in or to Offsetâs recordingsâ since he bought out his deal with the company in 2021. He alleged at the time that despite buying the rights to his solo works, QC continued to claim ownership over his recordings.
Billboard previously reported that Offset signed a production agreement with Quality Control in 2013 that covered his work in Migos and as a solo artist. According to court documents, as of January 15, 2021, Offset ânegotiated a deal in which he reclaimed the rights to his own solo recording and songwriting from Quality Control,â and the new arrangement made the star the âsole owner of all rights, title, and interest in and to his services as a solo recording artist, entertainer, and songwriter.â
A judge formally dismissed Offset and QCâs suits against each other on August 16.
Despite that agreement, Offset claimed that QC continued to assert an ownership interest in his 2022 single â54321,â even though the track was credited to his then label, Motown Records; he is currently signed to Capitol Records.
Cardi has been teasing the long-in-process follow-up to her 2018 major label debut album,ÂInvasion of Privacy, for much of this year, with no formal release date set at press time.
