Offset and Cardi have been married since 2017 and also share a three-year-old daughter named Kulture Kiari Cephus.

Kiari is Offset’s real first name, meaning that both of the babies have middle names derived from their father’s various monikers.

In Cardi and Offset’s new pictures of little Wave, the baby was draped with jewelry, including earrings and several necklaces.

Cardi’s snapshots showed the baby wrapped in a fur-lined anorak as he relaxed in a little baby chair and was photographed from above.

Wave Set Cephus: The meaning behind the name 

Cardi B and Offset have revealed their baby son’s name seven months after his birth: Wave Set Cephus.  

The couple already share a daughter named Kulture Kiari Cephus.

Kiari is Offset’s legal first name, meaning both of the babies have middle names derived from their father.

Wave is such an atypical name in the United States that the listed meaning on BabyNames.com is essentially just the dictionary definition of a wave: ‘Arched form of water or sound. Also a gesture of hello or goodbye with one’s hand.’

However Cardi has confessed a fondness for unusual baby names – when she announced on Twitter that her firstborn child was called Kulture she wrote that ‘anything else woulda been basic Okrrrrr.’

Offset is a member of the rap trio Migos, who released two albums called Culture and Culture II in the year and a half leading up to Kulture’s birth. 

As such there may be some possibility Wave’s name is related to an upcoming project that either Offset or Cardi currently have in the works. 

The new photos confirmed Cardi’s statement on Twitter last month that her baby son bears a striking resemblance to his sister.

When a fan asked: ‘Now that’s he’s 6 months, who does he resemble the most? You or set?’ Cardi wrote in reply: ‘Kulture.’

On her Insta Stories this January she claimed that her son, despite only having turned four months old that day, had already begun to talk. 

‘I’m not exaggerating, this baby is talking,’ she said. ‘I put this on everything I love in the name of Jesus Christ. Like first of all, my husband saw it.’

Cardi dished that she asked the baby: ‘You love Mommy?’ a couple of times and he replied enthusiastically: ‘”Yeah!” Like not even like: “He-he-heh.” It was like: “Yeah!”‘

Cardi has been vague about the reason behind Kulture’s name, revealing on social media only that ‘anything else woulda been basic Okrrrrr.’ 

While she was pregnant with Kulture she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and dished that Offset had already decided what they should call their firstborn daughter.

‘Yeah, my dude named the baby. I really like the name,’ she said, hinting that Offset’s choice was ‘almost tricky, but when like it comes out, it’s like: “Ah!”‘ 

Offset is a member of the rap trio Migos, who released two albums called Culture and Culture II in the year and a half leading up to Kulture’s birth.

Although Cardi did not disclose Wave’s name until this Friday, she did tweet in January: ‘Random but… I’m 1% close too tatting my sons name on my face… I really really wanna do it!’

She also revealed that in the event she decided to have the body art applied, she would get the tattoo on her jaw.
