2026 is barely a few days old, and social media has exploded; not because some new dance challenge popped off, but because Celina Powell dropped a video that instantly set the internet on fire. The socialite and influencer shared an Instagram clip showing rapper Offset asleep next to her in bed, and the reactions quickly spread across every corner of the internet. What started as a sleepy camera capture turned into instant meme fodder, fan frenzy, and a fresh round of gossip about one of hip‑hop’s most talked‑about figures.
Powell, who has built her brand on being everywhere drama meets digital attention, posted the video on Friday, January 2, from what she tagged as the Hardrock Guitar Hotel. In the footage, Offset is lying back under the covers, durag on, one hand tucked under a pillow, lightly snoring, completely unaware he was being filmed. Powell lay next to him, seemingly in bed together, with one foot draped across his body and a smirk that pretty much sums up why this clip took off.

She captioned the post with a line that basically dared the internet to react:
“Made a tape last night & all you heard was him in the video lol Offset you sleepy boy.”
Shortly after, she shared the same clip in her Instagram Story with the cheeky line, “Put that man to sleep now he calling me Nyquil,” and teased a “link in bio” while posing semi‑nude in another mirror post.

As you might expect, the internet didn’t just scroll past this; it exploded. On X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, reactions flooded in within minutes. Some fans were baffled, others were entertained, and almost everyone had something to say about how this became the first big celebrity moment of 2026:
“I pray this kind of kiss and tell never find me,” wrote one fan on X.
“This about to be good today I’m glad I’m staying home,” another tweeted.
“You’re starting the year Offright,” joked someone else.
There were even predictions like “Offset will say it’s AI,” a classic blend of disbelief and meme‑ready humor.
When it comes to timeline and context, this clip hit at a time when Offset’s personal life was already under a microscope. The Migos rapper has been publicly surrounded by headlines about his highly publicized breakup with Cardi B, who has since moved forward in her own life with NFL star Stefon Diggs and welcomed their son this past year. The ups and downs of that relationship, reunions, split filings, and viral moments have made anything involving Offset extra‑charged when it hits the internet.
What adds fuel to the fire is Celina Powell’s social media reputation. She’s someone who’s turned controversy into content strategy, building a massive following by dropping sensational clips, allegations, and influencer encounters that keep eyes glued to her page. This clip is not out of character for her, and that’s part of why it moved so quickly and loudly online.

But let’s be super clear: neither Offset nor his team has publicly confirmed that it is him in the video. Additionally, Cardi B, Offset, or anyone close to them hasn’t commented officially on what’s going on. That hasn’t stopped speculation, theories, and half‑serious fan detective work about whether this was an old moment, a new one, or something in between, but the fact that people are debating it at all shows how powerful a single Instagram post can be in shaping conversation.
It doesn’t even really matter whether the clip is verified or what exactly happened: people are talking, swiping, quoting captions, remixing memes, and debating narratives faster than most artists can drop a new track. So as 2026 kicks off, we have this bizarre, borderline absurd first headline of the year: a viral bed video that will probably be referenced in memes, hip‑hop Twitter threads, and celebrity gossip breakdowns for days if not weeks to come.
This newest chapter starring Celina Powell and Offset proves one thing pretty clearly: the internet is always watching, and always ready to talk.
