Offset Forced To Mediate On Child Support Case
Over the course of the past decade, Offset of the notorious Atlanta-based hip-hop collective known as The Migos has become one of the most prominent names in all of music. Fortunately, what comes with that title has allowed him the means to provide aid for all of those around him, including his family, offspring, and the women who he has chosen to conceive children with. The 28-year-old rapper who has been married to hip-hop’s coveted princess Cardi B since Sept. 2017 recently celebrated the second birthday of their daughter, Kulture. Now, according to Bossip, Offset, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, will be heading into court-mandated mediation with the mother of his five-year-old daughter, Nicole Algarin, after failing to come to an agreement in regards to the terms of their child support payments.

Last year, Algarin, also known as Shya L’Amour, sued the “Racks 2 Skinny” rapper for providing “limited child support” and also claimed that she wanted Cephus to participate more in regards to visitation to his daughter. According to Bossip, Offset countersued for joint custody of his daughter, denied claims that he wasn’t providing support for the five-year-old, and also demanded that his daughter’s last name be changed to his official surname. The court documents claim that Offset has officially relocated from Atlanta to California for occupational purposes, and states that both he and Algarin should be responsible financially for their daughter.
Both Offset and Nicole Algarin have been mandated to a three-hour session at the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution in order to work out their child support dispute. If the two are unable to come to an agreement, court proceedings will presume in the near future.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
