Offset’s latest musical offering, “Haunted By Fame,” has hit the headlines, but not for the reasons an artist typically hopes for. The project, released late last month and featuring artists like NBA YoungBoy and Lil Dump, failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 and sold fewer than 8,000 units. This commercial performance marks a significant dip compared to his previous releases.
Offset’s Response to Chart Performance
However, Offset isn’t letting the disappointing debut get him down. He took to social media to address the chatter, suggesting the project was a mixtape intended to fulfill contractual obligations. “Mixtape to get out my deal lol,” he simply stated, as reported by Complex Music. This indicates he’s not overly concerned with the numbers, brushing off potential criticism.
Navigating Personal and Legal Battles
Beyond the music charts, Offset is currently navigating a complex personal and legal landscape. Reports surfaced last week claiming he turned down a $10 million settlement offer from Cardi B amidst their ongoing divorce proceedings and sought a share of her brand. Offset quickly refuted these claims via Instagram comments, calling them “False rumors all of it” and a “hate campaign.”
Adding to his challenges, Offset is also facing a lawsuit from a security guard, Jim Sanchez. Sanchez alleges he was punched and attacked by Offset and his crew at a Los Angeles marijuana dispensary. The lawsuit accuses Offset of assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, seeking over $25,000 in damages. Offset has denied these allegations.
