Offset has slammed Elon Musk for supporting the notion of pardoning Derek Chauvin, the disgraced police officer who killed George Floyd.
The Tesla CEO reposted a video on X (which he owns) on Tuesday (March 4) of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro campaigning to get Chauvin released from prison.
Musk — who wields influence within U.S. politics as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — seemingly co-signed the suggestion, writing above it: “Something to think about.”
The former Migos rapper was not happy with Musk co-signing the idea of freeing the convicted killer and called him out on Instagram.
“Racist bitch playin in black folks faces,” he wrote in a comment.
Offset also declared that he would boycott Musk’s vehicles, adding: “Driving Ferrari not Tesla.”

Shapiro has launched a petition urging President Donald Trump to pardon Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering Floyd during a highly-publicized arrest in 2020 — sparking a wave of Black Lives Matter protests around the world.
In a letter addressed to Trump, he wrote: “We write to urge you to immediately issue a pardon for Officer Derek Chauvin, who was unjustly convicted and is currently serving a 22-and-a-half year sentence for the murder of George Floyd and associated federal charges.”
Shapiro claims that there was “massive overt pressure on the jury to return a guilty verdict regardless of the evidence or any semblance of impartial deliberation.”
He also alleges that lawmakers “pre-judged the outcome of the trial and took to national media to create pressure on the jury to go along with their preferred narrative.”
Chauvin was convicted in two separate trials of violating Floyd’s civil rights and committing second-degree murder. He is simultaneously serving 21-year and 22-and-a-half-year sentences for each charge, respectively.
The former Minneapolis cop has repeatedly attempted to appeal his conviction and was stabbed in prison in late 2023, but the wounds were not life-threatening.
Floyd’s family have yet to comment on the petition or Musk’s X post.
Offset is not the only rapper to call out the tech billionaire over his political views.
Last year, Tyler, The Creator took a shot at Musk during a performance at Austin City Limits, where he changed the lyrics to his song “911.”
Instead of rapping the original line, “Sucks you can’t gas me up, shout out to Elon Musk,” Tyler tweaked it to: “Fuck Elon” — much to the delight of fans in attendance.
Musk has also called out a number of Hip Hop stars for opposing him, including Eminem and Cardi B.
Let’s continue to call people we don’t like racist. Cause that still means something. Also, let’s call what BLM and Antifa did during 2020 riots. Cause that’s what they were. Mostly peaceful of course. Saying that you drive Ferrari (a car most people can’t afford) instead of a Tesla (a car most people can afford) is not making this a race issue as much as it is a class issue. No one should listen to these idiots since they are so out of touch with everyday people. Which is what happened since Trump won the popular vote.
Tesla cost 70g 80g new that ain’t cheap
@hector Teslas start at just below $40k… I wouldn’t call it cheap though still. My friend just grabbed a Ford Maverick… those little trucks are awesome, and whole package came to $36k.
Offset finally made the blogs without the help of Cardi B.
Offset is irrelevant.
He didn’t kill anyone get educated and Floyd was a criminal who had tried taking numerous lives prior. The officer didn’t kill him it was the drugs in his system. The reason the guy is in jail is because they didn’t want to offend people like you. What they’re doing is illegal but you’re too dumb to realize that just like Cardi.
Yet this idiot is going to perform in Russia? And I bet he bought a Tesla truck and like his ex is on Trumper social media 24/7 these people are so dumb. I hope the grandparents are good because the 2 parents are dumb. This dude never should have been in jail Floyd died from drugs not him the people who put him in jail the politicians should be in jail for what they did to him which was illegal knowingly locking him up for a crime he didn’t commit for their own personal goals.
I love to see my fellow white supremacists in here talking to each other. Good boys. You guys are true WS disciples. You don’t take time off, do you? I still think you’re too dumb to hire though.
^^look at the leftist who impersonates conservatives to make themselves feel better. Go back to reddit queer.
People need to put their personal feelings aside and look at facts. George had 3x the amount of drugs in his system that that kf the average drug overdose. He swallowed his stash to hide it. First coroner or whatever it’s called determined the death to not be from choking. Second one deemed it to be from choking. I’m more inclined to beleive the first one, not the one made after they saw the nation was being burned down. I beleive it was a trial by media, ans political choice, in order to calm things down and stop people from destroying their own cities that they live in. My city hasn’t recovered from those riots. It sucks here now. Since then, nobody wants to do business in my city, and none of us even want to be here. Sad stuff.
He’ll be dead in a month if released.
That doesn’t make him a racist. Where do these retarded people from? The autopsy report says something different to the media bull.
