No One Has Ever Done Anything Like This’: Offset Cheers Up Woman Who Was Having A Bad Day By Paying for Her Items at the Register

When Sienna Diaz took her mom shopping at Target to cheer her up,  she had no idea she was not the only one who would make her mom’s day. Rapper Offset showed up to help in an unexpected way.  

Diaz took her mom to Target to shop for some Christmas gifts. Evidently, she hadn’t had a very good night’s sleep and was feeling terrible. Diaz thought she’d take her to her favorite store to perk her up and indulge in some retail therapy around the start of the holiday season.

Mom wanted to check out the make-up to look for concealer for her under eyes. Since she hadn’t gotten much sleep, she wanted to cover up her dark circles. Once they headed to the cashier to check out, something interesting happened.

“While we were bagging everything up a woman stood next to our the check out station and at first (to us) seemed to be waiting for someone. She overheard our conversation about the concealer and started recommending us other brands makeup that she heard were good. Everything seemed to be pretty normal until the cashier told us how much our items were,” Diaz said in her story on Instagram.

The two women were shocked due to the fact that they had already tried on some of the concealers in the store. That is until the woman next to them did something they hadn’t expected. “The wom[a]n beside us quickly handed over the cashier $200. My mom and I were like Huhhh 👁👄👁 lol … we were so confused and then she said, ‘this is from Offset…’ and thats when my mom just started to tear up.”

Offset walked over to Diaz and her mom and gave Diaz’s mom a hug. “He told her that whatever she was going through that she would be okay,” Diaz said, “No one has ever done anything like this for my mom and we are truly grateful.”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
