With the lead-up to and release of his sophomore solo album, Set It Off, Offset is paying homage to his biggest inspiration, Michael Jackson. From his red carpet looks to the video for the single “Fan” — in which Offset sports looks that call back to such M.J. hits as “Thriller” and “Smooth Criminal” — the rap star and streetwear-meets-high-fashion trendsetter is looking to make his own “long-lasting” impression, he tells THR, by channeling the King of Pop’s legendary fashion through his own unique style.
“When I say ‘set it off,’ I mean blowing shit up — my career, the songs, the energy, the vibe, and creatively taking it to the next level where nobody has seen,” says Offset of his new album.
While the album’s cover shows the former Migos rapper, 31, dressed as Jackson during his “Billie Jean” era, the promotional cycle leading up to its Oct. 13 release found Offset wearing M.
