Hip Hop superstar Cardi B was also on hand at the Nasdaq MarketSite on Monday to support her husband. Both “Clout” collaborators posted about the experience on their respective Instagram accounts.

“Looking forward to participating in profit sharing through my investments in @reservoirmedia,” wrote Offset on Instagram. On her own IG page, Cardi B posted, “Sooo proud of you my dear @offsetyrn May God protect you and lead you in the right paths.”

In addition to Reservoir Media, Offset has invested in the FaZe Clan esports organization, the AXSD Media streaming platform/production company, land acquisition, and other ventures over the last several years. The Atlanta-bred rapper is also a credited producer for HBO Max’s streetwear competition series The Hype.

“I’m also sitting down with my wife’s people and making sure her business is situated on her end, and make sure her deals make sense,” Offset told Forbes. “What’s the obligations and what do I have to do to overall make the brand better?”
