Offset was seen celebrating his 32nd birthday in Miami on Friday with a woman who was involved in a 2018 conflict at a New York City strip club with his estranged wife Cardi B, resulting in two misdemeanor convictions and years of legal headaches.
The 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was seen at a gathering with Jade, whose real name is Sarah Wattley, at the Miami Beach club Playa, according to witnesses.
The Migos rapper was at the venue until 5 a.m., witnesses said, and had been seen in the same room as Jade.
Jade, who has past been linked to rapper Tekashi69, posted a clip of herself at the bash, set to the Nicki Minaj track Barbie Dangerous, to her more than 1.7 million Instagram followers on Tuesday.
At the club, Offset donned an all-black ensemble of a vest over a shirt with pants. Jade was pictured donning a purple skirt at the gathering with a diamond necklace with earrings and a watch.

Offset and Cardi B, who are parents to daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, five, and son Wave Set Cephus, two, recently announced they had parted ways. They have past temporarily split, in December of 2018 and in September of 2020.
Cardi B opened up about her relationship woes with Offset in a December 11 Instagram Live clip.
‘I’ve been single for a minute now but I have been afraid to like – not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world,’ she said. ‘But I feel like today has been a sign.
‘The last time I got on Live, I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind.’
She continued: ‘But it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign. I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open; I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.’
On September 15, 2022, Cardi B resolved a yearslong criminal case stemming from a pair of brawls at New York City strip clubs by pleading guilty in a deal that required her to perform 15 days of community service.
The New York City native pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from the August 2018 fights. Ten other counts, including two felonies, were dismissed, and two co-defendants also pleaded guilty.
According to prosecutors, the Grammy-winning musical artist, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, and her entourage were targeting employees of Angels Strip Club in Flushing, Queens – one of whom was Jade – over an apparent personal dispute.

On September 15, 2022 in NYC, Cardi B resolved a yearslong criminal case stemming from a pair of brawls at New York City strip clubs by pleading guilty in a deal that required her to perform 15 days of community service
In one fight, chairs, bottles and hookah pipes were thrown as the group argued with a bartender. She and another employee had minor injuries.
‘No one is above the law,’ Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement. ‘In pleading guilty today, Ms. Belcalis Almanzar and two co-defendants have accepted responsibility for their actions. This Office is satisfied with the resolution, which includes appropriate community service.’
In 2019, Cardi B rejected a plea deal that would have given her a conditional discharge. Prosecutors then presented the case to a grand jury and obtained an indictment that included the two felony charges.
‘I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to,’ the I Like It said, adding that she wanted to set a good example for her two children.
She continued: ‘These moments don’t define me and they are not reflective of who I am now. I’m looking forward to moving past this situation with my family and friends and getting back to the things I love the most-the music and my fans.’
Cardi B had to go to court earlier this year over not fulfilling her community service obligations in a timely fashion. She was given an extension to take care of it.
Jade has had legal troubles as well in recent years, as she was arrested in August of 2022 for attacking Tekashi69 in Miami, and later ordered by the court to keep her distance from him.
