Offset’s attorney, Drew Findling, believes his client was targeted by police for being black and successful. According to TMZ, Findling says the Migos rapper didn’t break any laws and maintains pulling him over for an improper lane change was a reach.
“It’s a common theme,” Findling told TMZ. “We’re talking about a young, African-American man driving a shiny, beautiful luxury car and clad in designer clothes and watches and jewelry.
“Unfortunately, people in his genre become a target for law enforcement who think that lifestyle is connected to some illegal activity … and that is a sad statement.”
The 26-year-old was arrested on Friday (July 20) just outside of Georgia after authorities reportedly found three handguns, marijuana and $107,000 in the Porsche 911 he was driving.
Subsequently, Offset was charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors, including possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a weapon during a crime, possession of marijuana (one ounce or less) and an improper lane change.
Findling, who has represented Gucci Mane, Trippie Redd and Katt Williams in the past, reportedly thinks the entire incident was an attempt to take Offset down.
He told TMZ his client was not in possession of any firearm. Rather, it was Offset’s assistant — a licensed gun holder — who had the weapons in the car. Findling explained Offset needs protection because of the large amounts of cash he typically carries and expensive jewelry he often wears.
Offset’s wife, Cardi B, revealed her husband was out of jail on Saturday (July 21). He reportedly posted $17,000 bail. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
How about driving right knowing that you’re riding dirty. Was he targeted? Probably. Is it fair? Probably not. But he’s not doing himself any favors being on probation with all that shit on him…
He’s not on probation according to his wife.
Cardi B is an esteemed legal expert and probation/ parole officer. Nice observation. She is a valedictorian from Harvard law. Not.
This negro is a convicted felon and had a firearm and illegal drugs in his possession. Somehow this is the white mans fault? Typical low IQ negro logic.
Playing the ‘race card’, this IDIOT was a convicted felon, with illegal guns & illegal tinted windows, the law couldn’t ‘see’ he was black…. desperate EXCUSES!
“Findling says the Migos rapper didn’t break any laws” – ah, OK, I thought a felon on parole driving around with 3 guns and drugs in his car might’ve been illegal but I guess I was wrong. A baby born only a week ago and this cross dressing tranny think’s it’s a good idea to drive around at night in a sports car filled with drugs, guns and cash. I feel sorry for the kid. Her parents are two complete fucking idiots that don’t understand how to behave like normal members of society. They’ll both be broke nobodies in 5 years.
Negro please, you we’re doing the definition of riding dirty. GTFOH.
Migos needs to set up one of Hip Hop biggest tours soon and doc. It tour life sentence who would you add to the tour ?
Loving these opinions about a story that is still developing. You all are great, keep it up!
The target was placed on him by himself, being an idiot. Not about race, it’s about intelligence and he’s lacking
Why would they search his car for an illegal lane change? Yes, he is not smart for what he had in his possession, but they probably ran his tags before they pulled him over. Lastly, here is a message to the young black men with lots of money. Stop carrying large sums of cash, stay out of areas that aren’t conducive to you staying alive, and have you homies carry the drugs. Because we know you can’t live without the weed, pills, and lean.
They would do that because the plates came back to a convicted felon. They conduct a search “for their own safety” to make sure he doesn’t hve a gun. If you’re clean and have nothing, you can sue. If you’re a convicted felon under the influence of a controlled substance, and in possession of a firearm… you just justified the search. Bottom line, Iber Black would have saved him…
Ok. Here we go with more Dindu/Black victim SJW bullshit. This guy looks like a cross dressing, Gay Christmas tree. He’s driving around at 3AM with illegal tints. He switches lanes illegally. The cops run his plates. His name doesn’t show up as “Pink Power Ranger Offset”, more like Taqueefah Jenkins. The cops instantly see he’s a convicted felon when running the plates. So 1. Tequeefah is a known, convicted felon, 2. He made an illegal one change and 3. He had illegal tings on his vehicle. Looking at 1-3, and NON RETARDED adult human being would BEG the cops to search his shit. Thankfully, this idiot hit what was coming. That Jar-Jar Binks look totally sucks By The Way

I feel so sorry for all the black people here in the U.S. that get called out for their bullshit and excuse making, especially the millionaires. They have it so tough. They would be much better off in Africa where everyone is civilized and the police don’t harass you. They Waz Kangz!!
seems like his problem was self-inflicted. why ride dirty when you have a record? Why carry so much cash as well? No one learned from what happened to XXXtentacion? It’s just stupidity
