Cardi B’s estranged husband, Offset, was hit with a new six-figure lien — bringing his unpaid tax bill to over $2.3 million, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On October 15, the Internal Revenue Service filed a federal tax lien against Offset (real name: Kiari Cephus).
The government agency accused the entertainer of owing $486,426.35 in taxes for 2023, the year before his split from the “Bodak Yellow” rapper, 33.
The bill comes months after the IRS filed a separate lien against Offset, 33, on April 3, 2024. In that filing, the musician was accused of owing $1,575,266.73 for the year 2022.

On March 12, the Georgia Department of Revenue filed a tax lien over an alleged $292,000 owed by Offset for 2021. The agency said the original tax bill was $167,916 but the debt grew over time with interest ($53,000), penalties ($40,000), collection fees ($33,000) and other costs.
The IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue have not released the liens as of yet, according to official records.
The total of the three liens comes to $2,353,692.
As Us first reported, Offset is also attempting to fight a $232,000 judgment entered against him over an alleged assault at a Florida strip club.

Izquierdo and Crespo claim they were at the strip club on the same night as Offset and his then-wife, Cardi.
The suit claimed Cardi was sprayed with champagne by someone in the crowd. Izquierdo and Crespo claimed Offset walked into the crowd and attacked them after the incident.
The alleged victims claimed the “Bad and Boujee” rapper struck them in their face, head and body. The two claimed they needed medical attention and sustained permanent injuries.

In late 2024, a Miami judge granted the alleged victim’s request for a default judgment. In April, Offset filed court docs asking for the judgment to be thrown out due to him never being served with the legal docs.
A hearing has been set for February 2026.
As Us previously reported, Cardi spoke out about her pending divorce from Offset on September 22 during a chat on X.
“The only reason why I’m still married is because somebody wants me to pay for their taxes,” she claimed. “Y’all wanna know the tea? The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties. I’m fighting for that, I’m gonna fight for that. This is not no love s***.”

“I’m not gonna live my life because on a contract I’m practically still married because somebody wanna hold me hostage if I don’t give them millions of dollars to get out of it,” Cardi added. “So, that’s what I’m going through in life. … Y’all want me to remarry and stuff to have another baby and stuff like that. I’m doing things now that makes me happy. I did it the right way the first time.”
Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024 after seven years of marriage.
During a September interview with Gayle King, Cardi answered questions about Offset. She said, “I just wish he was a better person. But it is what it is. Be a better person for your kids.”
Cardi and Offset share three children: Kulture Kiari Cephus, 7, Wave Set Cephus, 4, and Blossom Belle, 12 months. She announced on September 17 that she is expecting a fourth child, which marks her first with boyfriend and NFL star Stefon Diggs.
