Offset Makes Cardi B 'So Proud' As 'Set It Off' Makes Splash On Billboard 200

Offset‘s new album Set It Off has made its mark on the Billboard 200, and his wife Cardi B couldn’t be prouder.

Set It Off, which came out on October 13, debuted at No. 5 on this week’s albums chart after earning 70,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, according to Billboard.

Following the news, Cardi took to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, to let the world know how proud she was of her spouse — and to drop some hints about her own music career.

She wrote: “So proud of my baby!! Going against all odds… leaving his label, starting fresh, staying focused determined and not letting nothing break him… he did that!”

She concluded the post by writing: “MY TURN,” in what appeared to be a to a reference to her own upcoming album. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper said just last month that her sophomore release will arrive “very soon,” though “it’s not going to come out this year.”

Offset had a thing or two to say about his own project as well. Just hours after the news broke about Set It Off‘s Billboard 200 placement, the former Migos member shared a message explaining what its success meant to him.

“I want to thank everyone that love the album you guys dont know how hard I work on this project with all that went on in my life…we pushing through!!!!!” he wrote.

Set’s reference to “all that went on in my life” was a nod to the murder of his groupmate TakeOff. The Migos member’s death in late 2022 understandably delayed the release of Set It Off, which was originally scheduled for that November.

“Why [did the album take] so long? A lot of things. I lost my brother is the main reason. I was gonna drop last year. I had got out of a creative space,” Offset admitted to The Breakfast Club earlier this month about the album’s delay. “I had to sit down for a minute and get with my momma and pray and get myself together.

“Also I wanted to perfect the craft. I wanted to make sure I dropped and it counted. Especially coming out the group, I wanted to make sure everything was aligned.”
