The two men who allege Cardi B’s estranged husband, Offset, assaulted them at a Florida strip club are working to collect on the $232,000 he owes them, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On August 29, Leamsy Izquierdo and Humberto Crespo filed court documents in Georgia, where Offset lives, to register the judgment they were awarded in a Miami court. The move is the first step in taking action to collect the money.
Izquierdo and Crespo filed a lawsuit against Offset (real name: Kiari Cephus) in January 2021 over an incident at BT’s On The River aka Booby Trap On The River. The duo said they were at the club on the same night as Offset and his then-wife Cardi, 32.
Offset, 33, and Cardi were in the VIP area when she was sprayed by champagne from the crowd.

In the suit, the duo alleged that Offset, out of nowhere, “jumped from the elevated area in the VIP section to … assault” and “attack” them.
In the complaint, the two alleged victims claimed Offset hit them in their face, head and body. Both claim to have required medical attention and have had to deal with permanent injuries.
The men also claimed to have emotional distress from the ordeal. In October 2024, the judge granted Izquierdo and Crespo default judgments after Offset failed to respond to the suit despite allegedly being served.
In April, Offset filed court documents claiming he was not properly served. He asked that the judgment that was entered be dismissed and that he be allowed to respond to the lawsuit.
In his motion, the rapper claimed the process server attempted to serve him at 4 a.m. inside a crowded nightclub in Miami. He claimed the music was loud and everyone was singing. He claimed the server never claimed he personally served him but rather he dropped the legal docs on the ground. Offset argued that it should not count as serving him.

In a January 31, 2025, declaration, Offset wrote, “My wife and I are protected by a private security team at all performances, including the December 4, 2021, performance at [the nightclub]. According to our security protocols, members of the public are never permitted to approach me or my wife. I was not served with [the complaint]. I have no recollection of encountering a process server.”
The judge denied the motion due to procedural issues. Offset filed new docs on August 15, attempting to revive his request. A hearing has been set for February 2026.
On top of the legal drama, Cardi, who filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024 after seven years of marriage, recently spoke out about her ex during her interview with Gayle King.
“I am so tired of people, like, associating me with somebody that is from the past because I filed for divorce a year ago. That should be very clear. I don’t deal with that, I don’t mess with that, I don’t have no contact with that,” Cardi said.
She added, “I just wish he was a better person. But it is what it is. Be a better person for your kids.”
Cardi and Offset share three children: Kulture Kiari Cephus, 7, Wave Set Cephus, 4, and Blossom Belle, 11 months.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper announced on September 17 that she is expecting a fourth child, and her first with boyfriend and NFL star Stefon Diggs.
