Offset reveals his surprising celebrity crush amid dramatic Cardi B divorce
Offset magically revealed his surprising celebrity crush on Tuesday amid his bitter divorce from estranged wife Cardi B.
It didn't take Complex 's Interview With a Magician host Anna DeGuzman long to suss out which 'artist' the 33-year-old Bodies rapper has been secretly lusting for after confirming it was 'not an actor.'
When the 25-year-old magician asked Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) what his favorite song by her was, he hesitated: 'You're putting me on the spot.'
'You don't know her songs?!' Anna exclaimed. 'What's wrong with you?!'
'I know her songs,' the three-time Grammy nominee defended.
'But I just feel, like, artistically, like, she got it all together. I like her voice. I like how she does her stage sets.'
DeGuzman then handed Offset a crumpled piece of paper, which had the name Sabrina Carpenter written on it.
'How you?! This is cap! No way. Man, it's cap!' the Migos alum marveled.
'I ain't never said this before. I ain't never said this before. Never told nobody. Never wrote it down. They're going to think it's set up! I ain't told her nothing! How you get this? She just guessed this. That's crazy.'
Offset confirmed he liked 'petite' women just like the 26-year-old pop star who, at 5ft tall, is three inches shorter than his 32-year-old ex.
Sabrina is single after ending her year-long romance with Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan last December.
Carpenter and the 32-year-old Irishman - who starred in her Please Please Please music video last June - awkwardly attended the Met Gala separately on May 5.
The two-time Grammy winner has caused a lot of controversy over the provocative cover of her seventh studio album Man's Best Friend - dropping August 29 - as well as the simulated sex positions she demonstrates onstage while performing her song Juno while on tour.
Speaking of which, Sabrina is next scheduled to resume her $33.2M-grossing, 72-date Short n' Sweet Tour on July 5-6 at Hyde Park in London.
Meanwhile, Cardi B (born Belcalis Almánzar) spent Tuesday in an actual castle, seemingly in France, with her new boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

The Grammy winner could not 'believe we get to stay' at the lavish estate featuring an indoor swimming pool, grand dining room, Medieval-style canopy bed, and a rustic wooden toilet.
Cardi B appeared to diss Offset on her new single Outside off her second studio album Am I the Drama dropping September 19: 'Do you how you do me / bet you we won't speak again. Favorite player from your favorite team / he in my DM.'
The half-Dominican, half-Trinidadian star filed for divorce from the philandering father-of-six on July 31 following six years of marriage, and he's already filed for spousal support.
Offset also requested joint legal custody of their six-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, three-year-old son Wave Set Cephus, and eight-month-old baby daughter Blossom.
The Georgia-born ex-con previously fathered 15-year-old son Jordan Cephus with babymama #1 Oriel Jamie, 10-year-old son Kody Cephus with babymama #2 Justine Watson, and 10-year-old daughter Kalea Marie Cephus with babymama #3 Shya L'amour.
Offset originally began his career at age 11 in 2002 as a back-up dancer for Whitney Houston's music video for her single Whatchulookinat.
Cardi B is next scheduled to perform this Friday at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, NY alongside Hercules & Love Affair, COBRAH, Sofia Kourtesis, Danny Tenaglia, and Alex Chapman.

Usha Vance opens up about her pregnancy struggles while teasing whether she and JD are planning for another baby
Second lady Usha Vance teased that there could be a baby born to a sitting vice president. Vance, 39, sat down with Meghan McCain for an episode of the former View host's 2Way YouTube show Citizen McCain. The interview aired Wednesday. Usha and Vice President J.D. Vance have three children already - Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3 - with Vance telling McCain that she suffered from amenia while pregnant with all three. But she revealed that the second couple is leaving the door open to a fourth. 'Never say never,' she told McCain. Vance said that when she and the vice president were married, after both studying at Yale Law School, they always knew they were going to have kids. 'The number though, that was the question. I grew up with just two kids in the family and J.D. has a differently structured family but he primarily grew up with just his sister. I think what we decided at the outset is we'll have two and then we'll see how we feel about that,' she explained. 'And I thought maybe I would have two kids, and I would think I'm done, this is good.' 'But I just liked having the two kids so much that I think I ended up being the driver for three, which really surprised both of us,' Vance continued. 'And now we're at three and I'm feeling pretty good about this and sometimes he thinks he might like to have a fourth, but we'll see where that leads.' No vice president in history has had a baby while serving in the role. President Grover Cleveland - who like President Donald Trump was the only president to ever serve two non consecutive terms - had a baby in the White House, with wife Frances giving birth to the couple's daughter Esther. During the sit-down, McCain, 40, the daughter of the late GOP presidential candidate and Sen. John McCain, revealed to Vance that she was pregnant with her third child - a boy - with husband Ben Domenech, a frequent face on Fox News Channel. 'Well congratulations, that's so exciting!' Vance said. 'What I've really enjoyed about three kids is that it's just enough for them to be kind of a pack, like the oldest will take care of the youngest one, the youngest is so motivated to be like the older two that she's basically self-sufficient, always has been,' the second lady continued. 'It's awesome.' Vance said that zero to one kids was 'an enormous shock.' 'Zero feels one way and one feels like the entire world is turned upside down and you don't know what you're doing and what's up and what's down,' she said. 'One to two wasn't that bas and two to three was, shockingly, the easiest of all.' 'So you may be in for a surprise,' she reassured McCain. Both millennial women were candid about their pregnancy struggles. 'So during pregnancy, during each of them, I was prone to anemia, which just makes you so tired, and you're already kind of tired and especially when we were having our third child,' Vance said. 'I was completely exhausted because I had a trial right before,' the accomplished lawyer added. Vance said the struggles ended up being a good test run for parenting. 'But for me it was actually a little bit different because pregnancy was so exhausting that not being anemic was like, you know, high on life and that really helped,' Vance noted. She said that the couple's oldest son Ewan was born seven weeks before she started a Supreme Court clerkship, the final clerkship of her legal career. The clerkship was for Chief Justice John Roberts, who had been appointed by Republican President George W. Bush. 'And I mean, I kid you not, we were still mostly nocturnal and I wasn't awake during the day and I had to kind of switch to being awake and functioning during the day and sleeping at night,' Vance said. 'So that was a really rough transition for us.' 'It honestly ended up being good because it showed me a little bit about how much time I had been wasting before and how much more efficiently I could run my professional life in a way that would allow me to be the kind of parent I wanted to be,' she added. 'It was zero to 60 in a lot of ways but I think it changed everything about how I lived after that,' Vance said.

The Iranian sniper accused of being a sleeper agent
Playing Call of Duty lead to a love match Morgan Gardner never expected. When she started to play the online game in 2020, known as a violent first-person shooter contest, she didn't think she'd meet her future husband. Or that he'd be half a world away in Iran. But a friendship that was sparked online evolved into a romance that turned into a marriage between Gardner - a blonde, blue-eyed Alabama girl - and Ribvar Karimi, 26, an Iranian army sniper who moved to America to be with her - and was arrested this weekend as the US waged war with Tehran. 'Never did I think I was going to meet someone that way. Never did I think I would marry someone from another country,' Gardner told the Daily Mail. Now the newlyweds are being tested. Karimi was arrested by US immigration officials over the weekend along with 10 others as part of what ICE called their 'commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities'. His wife, who is seven months pregnant, believes he was unfairly targeted as American relations with Iran continue to fracture. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents came to their home about an hour outside Birmingham, claiming he was no longer legally in the country because he'd missed a deadline to file paperwork for his fiancé visa, which allowed him legal entry to the country in October. In their announcement of his arrest, ICE also pointed to Karimi's service as a sniper in the Iranian army from 2018 to 2021 - an ominous fact, given Trump's ongoing warnings about dormant terror sleeper cells who spring up to attack America at any given moment. Gardner, 30, insists that any suggestion her husband is dangerous is 'ridiculous'. 'I'm heartbroken. This man wears the American flag proudly on everything he owns. I know a lot of people have stereotypes about people from the Middle East, and that's unfortunately what happened to him.' She claimed that the first thing he bought when he got off the plane was an American Flag, and questioned why he would do that when it'd get him killed back in Iran. The couple disclosed his involvement in the army on his visa application and he underwent extra vetting because of his country of origin and military service, she said. 'We never hid it from them. We gave him his military card in his interview. We gave them the card when they showed up to our house on Sunday. We thought it was best to be honest because we have nothing to hide.' Gardner also stated that military service is mandatory in Iran, and that he's Kurdish, an ethnic group in Iran that is often persecuted by the Iranian government. Kurds tend to be Sunni Muslims in a mostly Shia country. 'He's not a terrorist, he's not part of a terrorist organization. He loves this country. He fought against ISIS. 'For goodness sake, his groom's cake at our wedding was an American flag with bullets on it that says, 'We the people.' He was so happy for small freedoms, like being able to wear shorts, because even men can't do that in Iran.' The pair found love online while he was still serving in the military. 'We were on the same team during one game. We liked playing together so much that we would always invite each other to play if we would see each other online,' the bride explained of their Call of Duty courtship. Online meetings turned into private messaging where the pair discussed the countries they were from, what they believed and joked constantly. 'We were always laughing. We got to know each other's hearts. Finally, I brought up that we should meet,' she added. After a year and a half of getting to know each other online, the pair planned a meeting in Turkey. 'We cried when we first met for the first time. There was no awkwardness. We said I love you, too.' 'Then it became about, how do I have you in my life?' 'He suggested I move to Iran, but then I said, 'Why can't you come to America and live with me?' He said, 'I'm from Iran. That will never happen.' The couple became engaged during their first three-week-long meeting in Istanbul. Gardner started looking into a fiancé visa for him, a process that took nearly three years to get approved. Eight more trips to Turkey, usually between 2-3 weeks each, followed along with the couple's family talking to try to understand and get comfortable with their whirlwind relationship. 'At first, my family wasn't so sure, but after they talked to him, they changed their minds. My father said after talking to him the first time that he knew it was okay,' she recounted. In October, Karimi's K-1 visa was approved and he was finally cleared to come to the US. The couple wed on January 18 and Gardner learned she was carrying their first child soon after they said 'I do.' Their honeymoon phase turned to worry after learning their pregnancy was high risk, however, the couple forged on, planning a baby shower for their son this coming weekend. Everything changed when ICE showed up at their door Sunday, claiming he was no longer in the US legally because he never filed additional paperwork proving that the marriage had actually happened. Gardner insists they were not give a deadline to submit the requirement. She has now hired an attorney who has confirmed that they were in compliance. 'He did confirm with me that there's no deadline on getting that paperwork completed. He was probably picked up because of everything that happened in Iran over the weekend. Gardner says she has had to use her life's savings to pay for lawyers fees, already spending $12,000 just to get him here, and expecting to pay at least $10,000 more in an attempt to get him released. She is asking for donations online to help pay for the expenses and travel to Louisiana to see her husband, where ICE is expected to transfer him in a few days. With the help of a lawyer, she is hoping he will be released on bond soon, but she's prepared to be alone during their baby shower this weekend. 'I'm not feeling that patriotic right now. I feel really disappointed as an American citizen,' she said. 'I feel like this is just a huge misunderstanding.'

Justin Bieber doubles down on 'loose cannon' antics as 'frustrated' wife Hailey keeps focus on family
is reportedly doing everything in her power to keep her family together. Amid reports that she is struggling in her marriage, a source told Us Weekly that the Rhode founder, 28, who recently sold her brand to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, has been focused on remaining 'the stable parent.' 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through,' they explained. 'It's been really hard on her.' The insider added: 'Family issues have clouded her success.' 'Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He's doing his best, but it's tough,' a second sourced told the outlet. The second insider claims the pair have been enduring more 'ups and downs' than usual and 'things have been very tense in the last month.' 'Hailey's worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn't been down like this in quite some time, so there's concern,' they explained. As Justin continues to spark concern online over his bizarre social media posts, Hailey is said to feel frustrated over his 'loose cannon' antics. But, ultimately, the source explained: 'She knows that's part of the industry and who she's married to.' 'They don't talk about divorce,' the first source insisted. The second insider confirmed the odds of them calling it quits 'are very slim, especially because of their faith.' 'Faith is a big part of their life,' the source said. 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.' 'They'll do anything to make it work,' the second source stressed. 'They are going to get through it.' On Wednesday, the Sorry hitmaker shared footage of him facing off against a paparazzi that has become a viral meme. 'Still standing on it no joke,' he captioned the video of the heated exchange, in which he told a paparazzo to leave him alone because he was 'standing on business.' Earlier this week, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Justin has been 'irritated by Hailey and feels she 'can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye.' The insider added that 'Justin's lack of motivation has been upsetting for [Hailey]' and they're 'not good.' Still, they are both said to be hopeful they can repair their marriage. Last month, Justin told Vogue via email: 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey.' He added: 'I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' As far as having more kids they both want that, but Hailey told the journalist that she plans to take it 'a kid at a time.' Hailey also gushed that Justin sees her as a 'superhero' after welcoming their son. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said of becoming a mom. 'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' She continued: 'Justin is an 'amazing dad... I think you empathize with your parents a lot more. There's so much perspective that comes with it.' In his email, Justin also pointed out: '[Hailey is] in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.' in the interview, Hailey admitted she thought she might 'die' during her traumatic labor last year. The model welcomed her only child with Bieber, 31, in August 2024, but experienced some 'scary' complications during the birth. Despite prepping for nine months in which she exercised, worked on her pelvic floor and felt 'physically stronger' than ever before, Hailey found herself going through a very tough labour, with the stunner admitting in a candid new interview that giving birth was 'the hardest thing I've ever done'. Speaking for the first time about the birth, Hailey told Vogue: 'That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.' Hailey began leaking amniotic fluid at 39 weeks and had to be induced, with the star given medication to bring on contractions while a special balloon was placed inside her uterus to help dilate her. However, while she eventually welcomed her boy after 18 hours, her troubles continued as she then experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, with Hailey sadly admitting that the thought had crossed her mind that she wouldn't survive the ordeal. On the fact that death could be a result of this complication if not treated quickly, which she told was 'a little bit scary', Hailey shared: 'I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.' Hailey also spoke of her 'difficulty' at coping with the 'new version of herself' while facing rumors surrounding her marriage to Justin. Fans have expressed concern for the couple due to their stony-faced public appearances, and Hailey's famous friends have allegedly urged her to leave the singer due to his 'unacceptable' behavior. Addressing the challenges, she shared: 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult… And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, "They're getting divorced" and "They're this" and "They're not happy": It is such a mindf**k. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.'
