From the mic to military ops, Offset trades Versace for a vest in his first TV role on NCIS: Los Angeles.
Move over, music charts — Offset is stepping onto the small screen. The Migos rapper makes his acting debut on NCIS: Los Angeles Season 10 in a bold and unexpected role, proving he’s got more than just bars.
🎭 From Rap Royalty to CIA Agent
In the action-packed episode titled “Alsiyadun,” Offset trades in his designer drip for covert gear, playing Kadri Kashan Khan, an undercover CIA agent whose mission is so deep, even helping the NCIS team could get him killed. When the crew seeks his help to rescue new recruit Fatima Namazi (played by Medalion Rahimi), Kadri’s carefully guarded cover is on the line — and that tension? It sizzles on screen.
“I was excited to do something different,” Offset said.
“I reached out to LL, like — yo, get me on the show!”
That’s right — the guest spot wasn’t handed to Offset. He chased it, DM-ing none other than LL Cool J, who has portrayed Agent Sam Hanna since Season 1.
🎤 Music Meets Mayhem: Offset Drops New Track “Danger”
Not content with just flexing his acting muscles, Offset also premiered his new single “Danger” during the episode — a dark, pulsing track that perfectly matches the high-stakes vibe of the mission. The crossover moment gave fans two Offset premieres in one night — both on the battlefield and in the booth.
🎥 Rap Meets Spycraft: A Trend We’re Loving
Offset’s appearance marks another moment in a growing trend of rappers trading bars for bullets (on screen, at least). His fellow Migos member Quavo recently popped up on Narcos: Mexico, and fans are already campaigning for Takeoff (RIP) to have his own posthumous cameo tribute in a legacy show like Hawaii Five-0.
LL Cool J, a rap icon turned TV action star himself, had nothing but praise for Offset’s dedication:
“He didn’t want to play a rapper. He wanted to challenge himself. He delivered.”
🎯 Why Offset’s Role Matters
This isn’t just a one-off gimmick. Offset’s role as Kadri taps into real narrative weight, giving him dramatic material and gritty tension that pushes past celebrity stunt-casting. It’s a sign that Offset is serious about adding “actor” to his résumé — and NCIS: LA was the perfect place to start.
👀 What’s Next?
While there’s no word yet on a recurring role, fans wouldn’t mind seeing Kadri return. After all, if NCIS: LA can keep expanding its cast with depth and diversity, adding a rogue CIA agent with rap star charisma could be a win-win mission.
So, what’s the verdict on Offset’s debut?
Mission accomplished.
