Judge Denies Offset's Paternity Test for Cardi B's Newborn

A judge denied rapper Offset's request for a DNA paternity test on estranged wife Cardi B's newborn child during their ongoing divorce proceedings, according to court documents filed in late February 2026. The ruling, issued on February 25, 2026, approved testing for one of the couple's other children but rejected the motion involving the infant, described in the redacted filing as a newborn. The child aligns with the son Cardi B welcomed in November 2025, following her public relationship with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

The decision adds fresh tension to the high-profile split between Offset, 34, and Cardi B, 33, who share three children: Kulture, born in 2018; Wave, in 2021; and Blossom, in September 2024. Cardi B filed for divorce in July 2024, seeking primary custody, after a history of separations and reconciliations. The couple began dating in early 2017, secretly married in September that year, and briefly split in 2020 before reuniting. Infidelity rumors and public controversies had long strained their marriage, but this latest legal move signals deeper disputes over family matters.
