The social media personality’s explosive podcast appearance paints a picture of an ex who never truly moved on — and isn’t shy about it.
Offset Still Can’t Shake Cardi B, According to Celina Powell
Even after a public and contentious split, it appears Offset may be carrying a torch he just can’t put out. That’s the picture Celina Powell painted during a recent appearance on the One Night With Steiny podcast, where she made eyebrow-raising claims about the rapper’s emotional state — and who seems to dominate his conversations.
According to Powell, behind closed doors and away from social media, Offset’s thoughts rarely drift far from his ex-wife, Cardi B. She described a man preoccupied with the Bodak Yellow rapper to an almost consuming degree, weaving references to her into everyday small talk and unrelated conversations alike. Powell suggested that no matter the topic at hand, Offset had a way of steering things back to Cardi B — sometimes affectionately, sometimes bitterly, but always persistently.
The account, delivered with exasperated familiarity, offered a notably human portrait of someone struggling to process the end of a high-profile relationship — one that played out almost entirely in public view.

A Long and Complicated History With Powell
Powell and Offset’s entanglement stretches back years and has rarely been free of controversy. In late 2017, Powell publicly claimed she was pregnant with the Migos rapper’s child — an allegation both Offset and Cardi B denied at the time. The situation escalated further when Offset alleged that Powell had attempted to extort him for $50,000 in exchange for terminating the claimed pregnancy, a charge that added legal and ethical dimensions to what was already a messy public dispute.
Despite the acrimony, the two remained loosely connected in the public eye — and their dynamic has continued to generate headlines well into recent years.
The January Video and Its Fallout
The latest chapter in Powell’s ongoing saga with Offset began in January, when she posted a video that appeared to show the two of them together in bed. The post, which she captioned with a teasing reference to an alleged recorded encounter, quickly spread across social platforms and reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship.
The moment proved to be more than just a viral footnote. A week after the video surfaced, Powell went public with a far more serious allegation — claiming that Offset had been threatening her on a near-daily basis and owed her a significant sum of money. In an Instagram Story that read with the urgency of a public safety statement, she warned that if anything were to happen to her, Offset would be responsible. She described living in fear and cited an outstanding debt of more than $15,000 as a source of ongoing conflict between them.
Offset, Cardi B, and the Messy Aftermath of a Public Divorce
Offset and Cardi B‘s relationship had long been one of hip-hop’s most scrutinized partnerships. Their on-again, off-again dynamic, marked by multiple reconciliations and a very public split, created the kind of tabloid narrative that rarely fades quietly. Cardi B officially filed for divorce in 2024, and while both artists have continued their careers independently, the emotional residue of the relationship has clearly not dissipated — at least not according to Powell’s account.
Whether Powell’s claims are taken at face value or viewed skeptically, they tap into a broader conversation about the emotional complexity men often conceal behind bravado, and what it actually looks like when someone can’t let go — famous or otherwise.
For now, Offset has not publicly responded to Powell’s latest round of statements. But if her account holds any truth, it suggests that the most lingering relationship in his life may not be a current one at all.
