The divorce between Cardi B and Offset just took a bitter turn. A judge denied Offset Cardi B paternity test requests for one child but shockingly approved testing for another.
Court documents obtained reveal the rapper questioned the paternity of his estranged wife’s youngest child. The filing specifically requested DNA testing for two of Cardi’s children. The judge’s ruling split the difference: one denial, one approval.
The approved divorce disparagement order comes alongside a greenlit paternity test scheduled for February 25, 2026. Court paperwork describes one child as a “newborn,” which aligns with Cardi giving birth to her son, “Baby Brim,” in November 2025.
The last child Cardi and Offset had together was daughter Blossom, born in 2024. The paternity question now hovers over the newest addition to the family. Neither party has publicly commented on which child the judge approved testing for.
The judge didn’t stop at paternity. A separate ruling prohibits both artists from making disparaging or defamatory comments about each other in interviews or on social media. Given the couple’s history of public blowups and online callouts, this gag order may be the most consequential ruling of all.
Cardi originally filed for divorce in 2024 after years of an on-again, off-again relationship. She requested primary custody of their children. Offset filed his own response, and the case has dragged through family court ever since.
The paternity test approval signals the judge is taking Offset’s claims seriously enough to investigate. The denial suggests the court found reasonable doubt about the other child. For fans watching from the sidelines, the drama just got exponentially messier.
