In celebrity media, misinformation and sensational headlines spread quickly. One recent claim making rounds suggests that Offset, rapper and ex-husband of Cardi B, celebrated a court decision stating he is not the father of one of Cardi’s children — followed by a strong response from Cardi B. This article investigates whether there is any truth to that claim: Was there ever a court decision declaring Offset not a father? Has Cardi B publicly addressed such a decision? What do the legal records and reputable sources show?

is documented: Court‑Filings & Paternity

Confirmed Paternity in FilingsCourt documents and media reports show that Cardi B has repeatedly confirmed Offset is the father of her children. For example, in their divorce filings and child support requests, Cardi B states that Offset is the legal father of their third child.

Custody & Divorce DisputesCardi B has filed for divorce from Offset, asking the court to award her primary custody of their children, and seeking child support. The legal filings state explicitly that Offset is the father.

Allegations of Absenteeism, Not Denial of FatherhoodMany of Cardi B’s complaints have been about inconsistency in parental involvement, alleging that Offset has been absent or has missed many moments as a father. She has publicly criticized him for not seeing their child(ren) often enough. But these are disputes over behavior, not paternity.

The Claim: “Court Says He’s Not The Father”

No credible reporting supports that any court has ruled Offset is not the father of any of Cardi B’s children.

The media outlets which cover Cardi B and Offset’s divorce, custody, and parental issues—including People, Page Six, Us Weekly, E! News—have not reported on any such ruling.

The legal records so far indicate affirmation of paternity where pertinent, not denial.

Cardi B’s Known Responses & Public Statements

Since the public documented record supports that Offset is confirmed as father, Cardi B’s responses have focused on:

Criticizing absenteeism and lack of follow‑through in parenting, rather than denying his paternity.

Public frustration with financial, emotional, and supportive responsibilities.

Ensuring children’s well‑being and asserting her role as provider, caretaker, and stabilizing presence.

So far, there is no verifiable statement by Cardi B responding to a court ruling of non‑paternity, because there is no such ruling in credible sources.

Why the “Celebration / Denial” Story Probably Emerged

Several possible reasons for the spread of this false claim:

Misinformation or Tabloid SensationalismReports may have taken a misinterpreted or fabricated source, or may have conflated statements about absenteeism, support, or parental involvement, with paternity issues.

Social Media Distortion
On social media platforms, rumors easily morph: someone tweets or reposts something ambiguous, others share it, it amplifies, loses nuance (e.g. turning “Offset misses seeing kids” into “Offset not father”).

Misreading Legal JargonSometimes people misunderstand legal filings. For example, requests for child custody, support, or the legal confirmation of paternity may be misread as disputes over whether paternity exists at all.

Desire for DramaStories about paternity and marriage conflicts attract heavy attention and engagement. They also align with audiences’ expectations of celebrity intrigue. So sometimes outlets run provocative headlines even with weak or no evidence.

What a Reliable Check Would Require

To confirm whether there ever was such a court ruling (that Offset is not the father), one would need:

Access to official court documents — judgments or orders related to paternity. These are public records in many jurisdictions (depending on privacy laws).

Credible mainstream media reports citing those documents or quoting legal professionals.

Statements from both parties (Offset, Cardi B) confirming or denying the claim, ideally in a direct interview or through their legal representatives.

Conclusion

Based on the investigation:

There isno credible evidence that a court has ruled Offset is not the father of any of Cardi B’s children.

The legal filings and media reports affirm that Offset is the father.

The claim in the headline appears to be false or misinformed.

Cardi B has reacted publicly to criticisms of Offset’s involvement, absenteeism, and support, but not to any ruling that removes his status as father — because no such ruling appears to exist.
