The divorce proceedings between Cardi B and Offset have taken a deeply personal turn, with newly obtained court documents revealing that the former Migos rapper sought a DNA test on Cardi’s youngest child, the baby she shares with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
A court order dated February 25, 2026 and obtained by TMZ shows that the judge presiding over the couple’s divorce case denied Offset’s request for a paternity test on that child. However, a separate DNA test request Offset made in connection with another one of Cardi’s children was granted by the court. The dates of birth for the children are redacted in the order.
What the court documents reveal
The child described in the order as a newborn is widely understood to be the baby Cardi welcomed with Diggs in November, given that the most recent child she and Offset had together, a daughter named Blossom, was born in September 2024. The distinction matters legally: Offset and Cardi’s shared children are not in question in the same way, but the timing of Blossom’s birth and the newborn’s arrival within the same divorce timeline appears to have prompted Offset to seek clarity on at least one additional paternity matter, which the court approved.
The order also includes mutual restrictions barring both Cardi and Offset from making disparaging or defamatory remarks about each other on social media or in any public interviews, a provision that reflects the court’s attempt to keep the proceedings from spilling further into the public arena than they already have.
The history behind the split
Cardi B and Offset share 3 children: daughter Kulture, born in 2018; son Wave, born in 2021; and daughter Blossom, born in September 2024. Cardi filed for divorce in 2024, seeking primary custody of the children. The two had a complicated on-and-off history, having initially separated in 2020 before reconciling, but this latest filing appears to represent a more definitive end to the relationship. Any possibility of another reconciliation seems remote given the nature of the legal disputes now playing out.
Offset’s decision to request paternity testing underscores the level of tension between the two, and the judge’s mixed ruling, denying one request while granting another, leaves the situation partially unresolved as the case continues. The presence of a child Cardi shares with another man has added considerable complexity to proceedings that were already contentious, and the court’s handling of the paternity questions will likely shape the custody and support arrangements that follow.
Neither Cardi B nor Offset has made public statements addressing the specific details of the court order.
