Offset saved his sharpest words for last. On the closing track of his new album KIARI, the Atlanta rapper uses “Move On” to air out the collapse of his marriage to Cardi B, trading any sense of closure for pointed bars that read more like a parting shot than a peaceful farewell.
The track opens with Offset framing their split as messy and lopsided: “We look like some fools / You got your get back, so I had to get back / It’s 50 to two.” From there, the tone only grows more biting.
“You never listen to no rules / You never cook n*** no food / You just want go out to Nobu / Telling me s*** that you don’t do / Telling me s*** that you won’t do / You f***** around with the wrong dude / Hope your next n**** be great,”* he raps — a lyric that many fans have already linked to Cardi’s rumored relationship with Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Even as the song circles around pain and resentment, Offset makes it clear he’s ready to move forward: “F** the time that we had, it’s erased.”*
The rawness of “Move On” cuts against what Offset had initially promised. Ahead of KIARI’s release, he described the record as a peaceful goodbye: “It’s about moving on, like, peacefully. That’s what the message is supposed to be. It’s all love and peace… I just ended the album with that song, just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on. It was great while it lasted. That shouldn’t be the topic for either one of us no more. It’s a book that’s closed.”
But on wax, Offset’s closure sounds less like peace and more like one final round of truths — aimed squarely at Cardi.
