Offset Steps Into His Truth With Kiari

When Offset decided to title his third solo album Kiari—after his real name—it was a clear sign that this project would be different. Released on August 22, 2025, the album feels less like a performance and more like a journal. It’s Offset inviting us into his world, with all the highs, lows, and lessons that come with it.

Right from the jump, the first track, “Enemies,” pulls you in. At just under three minutes, it’s not the longest song on the album, but it doesn’t need to be. Offset opens with the line, “Lord, protect me from my friends, I can handle my enemies.” That one bar sets the mood—raw, real, and straight from the heart. It’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest battles aren’t with outsiders, but with the people closest to you.

What makes “Enemies” hit so hard is how balanced it feels. The beat moves at a steady pace, the flow is confident, and the lyrics walk the fine line between vulnerability and strength. It’s not just Offset flexing—it’s him reflecting, showing us a side that feels human. And as the album opener, it frames the entire project: this isn’t just Offset the rapper, it’s Kiari the man.

The rest of the album keeps that same energy. Songs like “Bodies” (ft. JID) and “Professional” prove he’s still sharp lyrically, while “Move On” and “Never Let Go” show his softer, more personal side—touching on heartbreak and the pain of losing Takeoff.

But for many fans, “Enemies” remains a standout. It’s simple, direct, and packed with emotion. It feels like Offset taking a deep breath before telling the rest of his story.

At the end of the day, Kiari isn’t just another album—it’s a statement. Offset is showing us that behind the fame, there’s a man still figuring things out, still healing, and still pushing forward. And with “Enemies” leading the way, he makes sure we feel that from the very first note.
