Offset Launches Third Solo Album Kiari with Times Square Rollout

Offset has officially announced his third solo album, KIARI, set for release on August 22, 2025, via Motown Records. Named after his birth name, Kiari Kendrell Cephus, the album represents a more personal and introspective chapter for the Atlanta rapper, featuring 18 tracks with collaborations from notable artists including J.I.D., Gunna, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, John Legend, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. The rollout included a high-profile event in Times Square, where doppelgangers re-created album artwork variants, highlighting the project's significance. Lead singles "Bodies" featuring J.I.D. and "Professional" have already garnered critical acclaim, with "Bodies" debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping urban radio adds. KIARI arrives amid Offset's public and contentious divorce from Cardi B, whose own album is scheduled for release shortly after, adding emotional context to the new work. This album is seen as Offset's attempt to solidify his solo artistry and explore deeper themes beyond his previous work with Migos.
