The incident has left the guard hospitalized, and Offset is now facing serious accusations of assault.
According to multiple sources close to the situation, the trouble began around 9:30 PM when Offset, along with several members of his team, arrived at the popular dispensary to purchase cannabis. A disagreement quickly ensued over whether Offset had provided the proper identification, a legal requirement to purchase marijuana in California.

This led to a physical altercation, during which Offset is accused of striking the guard. As the situation spiraled out of control, additional security personnel from MedMen intervened. In retaliation, the guard allegedly sprayed mace at Offset and his entourage.
