“We were told that you guys were waving guns at people,” an officer said in the interaction.
“You just watched somebody beat my car up with a flag. What are you talking about?” Offset told the officer.
Another officer told him not to move and open the car door, to which Offset responded was illegal.
“You can’t just open my door,” he said. “It’s illegal and I’m going to sue the shit out of y’all, do you know who I am?”
SPIN has reached out to the Beverly Hills Police Department for more information on the situation.
