The hotel has fought back saying that they are not liable for the attack.
In addition to the above, Offset was reportedly arrested Friday for allegedly possessing a firearm. According to TMZ, the Migos rapper was pulled over by police in Georgia. The officers allegedly made the stop because of the overly tinted windows on his car. Witnesses of the incident reveal that officers then discovered at least one gun inside the vehicle. As the Migos member is a convicted felon who is currently on probation, he is not allowed to have a gun.
Four charges — two felonies and two misdemeanours — were allegedly made against Offset. “Possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of marijuana (one ounce or less), possession of a weapon during a crime, and an improper lane change,” reads the report.
