Financial Insights: Lil Tjay and Offset’s Wealth Amidst Online Feud
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Offset, also known as Kiari Kendrell Cephus, has an impressive net worth of $40 million. This impressive sum stems predominantly from his time with Migos—his rap trio alongside cousin Quavo and the late Takeoff, who was Offset’s uncle. Migos rose to prominence with their mixtape, Juung Season, in 2011 and achieved widespread acclaim with their hit single “Versace” in 2013.
During the 2017-2018 period, Migos emerged as one of the highest-grossing music groups, collectively earning around $25 million. Beyond his group work, Offset has collaborated with notable artists, including Cardi B, 21 Savage, and J. Cole, as well as working on his solo projects.
His wealth is further supplemented by various business ventures and endorsements, with prominent advertising campaigns for brands such as Lavati and Gosha Rubchinskiy. Additionally, Offset has invested in the esports organization FaZe Clan and appeared in TV shows, contributing to his financial portfolio. Notably, he and Cardi B purchased a $5.5 million mansion in Atlanta in December 2019, adding to his real estate assets.
Conversely, Lil Tjay, whose real name is Tione Jayden Merritt, has carved a niche for himself in the music industry, particularly after gaining traction from SoundCloud. As reported, his popular singles “Resume” and “Brothers” caught the eye of Columbia Records in 2018, marking the beginning of his professional journey.
With over 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Lil Tjay’s wealth primarily stems from his music career. He frequently displays his luxurious lifestyle on Instagram, showcasing a premier watch collection that includes Patek Philippe pieces, as well as moments from his private jet travels.
The tension between the two rappers began in January when Lil Tjay claimed during a Twitch livestream that Offset was not only in debt but also struggled with gambling addiction. The resurfacing of their rivalry on platforms like Instagram continues to attract the attention of fans across the globe, as both artists demonstrate their individual wealth while trading barbs.
