*When Offset was arrested last weekend by Georgia cops, he was hit with weapons and drug charges due to those items being found in his car. Now, the Migos rapper is claiming it’s all because he’s young, gifted and black. OK, no he didn’t exactly say that. But he did say it was because he is young, black and successful.
So, is he right? Well, he just might be on to something. His attorney, Drew Findling, told TMZ that the arresting officers are in the wrong because they did not perform a field sobriety test.
Offset was driving car, along with his bodyguard, outside Atlanta on July 20 when cops say he failed to maintain a lane and pulled him over.
Upon talking to the rapper, officers claimed they smelled marijuana – which did not lead them to conduct any further tests to detect impairment.
Officers discovered at least two handguns, less than an ounce of marijuana and more than $107,000 in cash, reports Variety.

Offset, a convicted felon, was charged with illegally possessing two handguns, marijuana and making an improper lane change.
He was soon released on $17,000 bail and quickly returned home to his wife, Cardi B, and their newborn daughter, Kulture.
Meanwhile, not too surprisingly, Offset is saying great things to say about his attorney on Instagram.
“I would like to thank this man,” Offset said in a snap featuring Findling. “Lawyer/friend he has taught me a lot about getting more involved in community. He helps me financially outside the courtroom he is the best lawyer I know I love him to death.”
