He also posted a new pic with his dad as they posed in front of a car. Offset wrote, “WE SOO MUCH ALIKE IT SCARY UNITED AS ONE.”

Offset has spoken out on his relationship with his father before. While speaking on “The Breakfast Club” in February, the MC said he had not seen his father since he was 4 years old.

“Where you at? Pull up! I ain’t got no beef with you,” he said, expressing enthusiasm about wanting to reconcile with his dad. “I talked to him when I turned 12. He called me, like, on my birthday … never heard back. Then I hear from him when I turned like 22. … The last time I talked to him was 2016.”

He added that every time he spoke to his dad, he offered to send him money.

“You on a payphone?” he recalls. “Man, listen. I’m about to send you $20,000. Where you at? I’ll fly a jet to you, I’ll come get you.”

When Offset would ask his grandma about his father, she’d say she didn’t hear from him.

“I know he on drugs for sho'” Offset said. “He been shot in the stomach. He got in a car crash and an 18-wheeler, broke his hip, got his hip replaced. It’s just a lot. And I don’t know what happened. But I love him, though.”
