Offset to host at MECA tonight

Migos rapper Offset, who is in Jamaica celebrating his 31st birthday with his wife Cardi B and family, will be hosting a party at MECA in the Marketplace tonight.

It is being labelled an “exclusive event” for which only a few hundred tickets will be available to the public. Tickets dropped online Wednesday on what the organisers say is a first-come first-served basis.

A release from MECA stated, “With the recent loss of his group member and relative Takeoff, it’s good to see Offset getting back into the swing of things after delaying his album launch. The executives at the Marketplace Entertainment Centre for the Arts Limited, owners of MECA and the 658 Promotion team, are very cagey about Friday night’s details. Given that MECA is known to have a capacity of less than 1,000, choosing who gets to buy tickets was a task.”

The release continued, “No comps or special guests. We believe we have priced the limited tickets fairly, allowing our regular supporters to afford whilst not compromising on the exclusive nature of the event.”

The Grammy nominee and Billboard hitmaker, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, is one of the hottest rap commodities. He has had success in the group Migos; collabs with artistes like Drake and 21 Savage; along with solo hits. Offset and his Grammy Award-winning rap superstar wife have been spotted at Dunn’s River, Margaritaville, Blue Hole in Ocho Rios and Lobster Dave Seafood Restaurant.

The rapper, whose cousin, Takeoff, was fatally shot in Houston, Texas, last month, has been relatively quiet since then. He performed for the first time since Takeoff’s death at E11EVEN in Miami, Florida, with Cardi B on December 2.
