Police claimed they pulled Offset over for crossing a double yellow line, but Offset’s attorney, Drew Findling, says that was just an excuse to bust him.
Cardi supported the claims made by Findling agreeing that the guns found by police did not belong to Offset. She says that Offset doesn’t own any firearms and doesn’t believe he broke any laws and was just targeted by the police.
26-year-old Offset and his bodyguard, Senay Gezahgn, were pulled over in Jonesboro, Georgia, for illegal lane change and when Clayton County police searched his 2014 Porsche 911, Carrera, three guns, over One Hundred and Seventy dollars in cash and less than one ounce of marijuana were found.
