According to People, Offset was on Instagram Live when officers asked him why he wouldn’t exit the vehicle. “Because you’ve got guns,” the Migos member said, per the publication.
“That’s my choice,” the officer reportedly responded, to which Offset replied, “I’m not going to move my hands from the steering wheel.”
“We were told that you guys were waving guns,” another officer chimed in with Offset saying, “I’m a celebrity. You know who I am? I’m Offset from Migos. They’re fans, that’s why they’re following me, bro.”
Of the situation that occurred, the star’s rep, Derrian Perry, issued a statement to E! News.
“Artist and Philanthropist Offset was detained by the Beverly Hills Police Department following an attack by aggressive Trump supporters,” Derrian said. “He was released shortly thereafter. Offset thanks his fans for their support and wishes everyone peace and safety during these trying times. He encourages everyone to get out and vote because nothing changes if nothing changes.”
