Offset Credits Son’s Question With Ending His Codeine Use, Marks Four Years Sober

He shared the story in a candid interview on Keke Palmer’s podcast.

Overview

  • During a new episode of Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, Offset described how industry pressure and constant travel pushed him toward drinking lean.
  • He said the dependency accelerated after Migos’ 2016 breakthrough with Bad and Boujee as the group’s fame intensified.
  • A studio visit from his 15-year-old son, who asked why Offset’s soda looked a different color, became the turning point that made him quit.
  • Offset recalled lying to hide the drink and nearly crying afterward as he recognized the influence he was having on his child.
  • He credited repeated tough-love interventions from his mother and broader family support with helping him maintain four years of sobriety.
