Offset had a big surprise when a magician guessed his secret celebrity crush. The rapper’s crush turned out to be pop star Sabrina Carpenter. The moment happened during an interview for Complex’s new series Interview With A Magician.
Magician Anna DeGuzman asked Offset to think of a celebrity crush without saying the name. She then wrote a name on a piece of paper before asking him questions. Offset said he admired the person’s “artistic taste” but couldn’t name any of her songs.
When DeGuzman showed him the paper, it had Sabrina Carpenter’s name. Offset was stunned and said, “How you get this right? That’s crazy. That’s crazy.” He added, “This is cap! No way. I ain’t never said this before.”
The rapper, who is going through a divorce with Cardi B, called Carpenter his type because she is “petite” and “small.” Fans reacted strongly online, with many saying Carpenter deserves better than a “cheater.” Some also pointed out their seven-year age gap.
Offset and Carpenter are both signed to UMG, leading to rumors of a possible music collaboration. However, the two have never worked together before. Meanwhile, Cardi B has moved on with NFL player Stefon Diggs and recently announced her new album.
“I feel like artistically, she’s got it all together,” Offset said about Carpenter during the interview. DeGuzman was surprised by his choice but confirmed she had written the name before he revealed anything.
The video quickly went viral, with fans debating if the moment was real or staged. Some joked that Offset might try to shoot his shot with Carpenter now that his crush is public. Others questioned if this was a setup for a future song together.
Cardi B and Offset’s divorce has been messy, with both taking shots at each other publicly. Cardi’s new song “Outside” includes lyrics about her new relationship with Diggs. She also confirmed her long-awaited album Am I The Drama? will drop in September.
Offset, however, stayed silent about Cardi’s album news. Instead, he made headlines for his unexpected crush reveal. The rapper has three kids with Cardi but has been focusing on his own career lately.
Sabrina Carpenter, known for hits like “Espresso”, has not reacted to the news. She recently won two Grammys and is one of pop music’s biggest stars right now. Her fans are protective of her, with many saying Offset is not a good match.
“Mind you, this is a father of six who’s pushing 40… disgusting,” one fan wrote online. Another added, “She deserves better than a cheater.” Some even referenced Carpenter’s song “Manchild”, which criticizes immature men.
Despite the backlash, Offset seemed amused by the magician’s trick. He laughed off the shock and called the moment “unreal.” Whether this leads to anything more than a viral clip remains to be seen.
