Offset rings the bell, and Cardi helps him out!

Offset is going from Main Street to Wall Street -- and he's doing it with his wifey by his side ... as they celebrate their music publishing company going public.

The idea behind Reservoir, it seems, is putting the power of publishing and control back into the actual artists' hands, and based on what Offset says here ... he's all about that. Good stuff ... and pretty wild to see worlds colliding like this. Congrats!!! Read more
