Celina Powell, the American social media personality and OnlyFans model, admitted to fabricating a paternity test in April 2018 that falsely claimed Migos rapper Offset was the father of her child. The admission came during a Twitch stream with DJ Akademiks, where she confessed the entire controversy was staged. In August 2026, Powell was arrested in Miami for driving with a suspended licence, marking the latest chapter in a career built on viral, often false, claims about high-profile rappers and athletes.
Who Is Celina Powell?
Celina Rae Powell was born on 13 June 1995 in Denver, Colorado, and is of Puerto Rican ancestry on her mother's side. She was raised by her aunt alongside a brother and two sisters after her parents separated. Powell graduated from Wheat Ridge High School in Colorado. She stands at 5 ft 4 in tall and has an hourglass silhouette, with tattoos covering much of her body, including large letters reading "Never Lose" across her upper chest.
She first gained mass media attention in 2017 when she accused Offset of having an affair with her, claimed he was the father of her child, and asked for $50,000 to terminate the pregnancy. The allegations were later confirmed to be entirely fabricated. Powell's notoriety earned her the nickname "The Black Widow" due to her history of exposing celebrity relationships.
The Fake Offset Paternity Test and Its Aftermath
In April 2018, Powell posted alleged DNA test results on her Instagram Story, claiming they proved Offset was the father of her newborn daughter. Cardi B publicly dismissed the documents as "wild fake." Offset's legal team served Powell with a cease-and-desist letter in late 2017, characterising her claims as a false extortion plot. The letter alleged she had requested money for the execution of the pregnancy and was causing him financial harm by jeopardising his brand deals.
During her appearance on DJ Akademiks' Twitch stream, Powell admitted to faking the paternity test. She said, "I sincerely apologize if I made you for one second think that Offset was the father of my pretend baby." She confessed to using images of her friend's ultrasound to spread the rumour and later uploaded a YouTube video titled "WHY I LIED ABOUT BEING PREGNANT WITH OFFSETS BABY." Despite the admission, Powell had a baby and named her Karma Kiari Cephus, using Offset's last name.
The saga continued into 2026. On 2 January 2026, Powell posted a clip of herself lying in bed with Offset, captioning it in a way that suggested the two were close. She also claimed online that Offset was refusing to repay $15,000 he allegedly owed her, telling fans to look to Offset if anything bad happened to her.
Other Celebrity Links and Legal Troubles
Powell has made viral claims involving several hip-hop figures. In 2018, she shared screenshots and a video she claimed proved a sexual relationship with Snoop Dogg, including alleged DMs and a FaceTime call; Snoop denied everything. She filmed herself in bed with Tekashi 6ix9ine while he was asleep, and he later used her to troll Snoop Dogg with cheating accusations. Powell publicly claimed she hooked up with 50 Cent, and he later asked her to delete content expressing concern about his reputation. She also revealed details about an alleged relationship with Lil Meech, posting a clip of a phone call and making claims about his living situation, finances, and substance issues.
In 2024, Powell revealed she was in a relationship with Clay from the Netflix show Love Is Blind, who had been engaged to AD during the show and said "no" at the altar. Powell has not publicly confirmed or denied having a BBL, and speculation about cosmetic surgery continues on her social media pages.
Powell's legal issues extend beyond social media. In 2021, she received a two-year sentence at a Colorado State Prison due to a probation violation linked to a 2015 conviction for involvement in a theft ring. Local law enforcement disclosed she breached probation by failing multiple drug and alcohol tests. After evading a court appearance, she was arrested and sentenced in Broomfield County. In March 2026, TMZ reported Powell had multiple active bench warrants in Florida for traffic violations, including driving without a valid licence and a window-tint violation. Court documents showed she failed to appear for a scheduled court date on 10 December 2025.
Net Worth and Income Sources
Powell has built an estimated net worth of $1.5 to $2 million through OnlyFans, brand partnerships, and social media influence. Multiple sources place the figure in a range: one estimate puts it between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, with many estimates around $2 million. Other sources like CelebsMoney and CelebMist range from $100,000 to $1.5 million, with the discrepancy stemming from the fluctuating nature of her income.
Her income streams include OnlyFans subscriptions, with creator economy industry estimates suggesting Powell generates between $300,000 and $500,000 annually through her premium account. She also earns from Instagram and TikTok brand partnerships, YouTube advertising revenue, and merchandise and other ventures. As Fame Person noted, "She understood early on that visibility equals money in the influencer economy."
On 6 August 2026, Powell was arrested in Miami after police surrounded her bubblegum-pink Lamborghini Urus. She confirmed to TMZ she was arrested for driving with a suspended licence, saying she had already racked up ten tickets for the same offence and claimed the repeat violations were why officers took her into custody. Her licence issues trace back to a missed 10 December 2025 court date that triggered multiple Florida bench warrants and DMV-reported delinquencies tied to traffic violations. Earlier in 2026, Powell had lawyered up and fired off a cease-and-desist letter after internet personality Deshae Frost accused her of sexual assault and giving him herpes during a livestream.
