Offset and Cardi B’s divorce has been messy for a long time, but this latest detail makes it even messier.
According to TMZ, Offset asked for DNA testing tied to one of Cardi’s children during their ongoing divorce battle, raising questions about the paternity of her youngest baby, whom TMZ linked to Cardi’s relationship with Stefon Diggs.
The development comes from a court order dated February 25, 2026, obtained by TMZ. The outlet reported that a judge denied Offset’s request for a DNA test on one child described in the filing as a “newborn,” while granting a paternity request involving another child. TMZ also reported that the same order bars both Cardi and Offset from making disparaging or defamatory comments about each other on social media or in interviews.

The filing reportedly does not name the children in public because their dates of birth are redacted, but TMZ inferred that the “newborn” reference pointed to Cardi’s youngest child, who was born in November 2025 during her relationship with Stefon Diggs. Neither Cardi nor Offset appears to have publicly addressed the reported DNA-test request.
The court wrangle lands at a strange moment in Cardi’s personal life more broadly. Just this week, she and Diggs sparked reconciliation rumors after he showed up at her Washington, D.C., concert, and the two were later seen leaving the afterparty together.
Cardi and Diggs made their relationship public in May 2025 and welcomed a son in November that same year, even as Cardi’s divorce from Offset remained unresolved. Offset was recently hospitalized after being shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida, where police said the incident stemmed from a fight and left him with non-life-threatening injuries.
Their split has been unraveling in public for a while. Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024 after six years of marriage, with a representative telling PEOPLE at the time that the breakup was “a long time coming.” Since then, the separation has spilled into social media, public comments and now court filings that suggest the custody and paternity questions behind the scenes may be even more combative than the public already assumed.
