In a shocking incident that took place last night, Offset and his entourage were involved in a dispute at the MedMen dispensary near LAX, which escalated into an alleged physical altercation with a security guard. 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. The altercation intensified when the security guard allegedly became aggressive, prompting Offset to explain that he had just landed from a flight at the nearby airport, where presenting ID is mandatory.
The Incident: A Heated Exchange Turns Physical
Sources say that as Offset was in the process of showing his ID, the situation escalated when the security guard reportedly spat in his face. 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.
Police and Paramedics Respond to the Scene
After the altercation, law enforcement was called to MedMen, but Offset and his team reportedly fled the scene before officers arrived. Paramedics were also dispatched, and the security guard was transported to a nearby hospital. The extent of his injuries remains unclear at this time, but sources indicate that he was seriously affected by the altercation.
Offset’s Response: Denial of Allegations
Reps for Offset have strongly denied the allegations, calling the claims “ridiculous.” They clarified that Offset had just come off a commercial flight, where identification is required, and that he had presented his ID at the dispensary. Offset’s team claims that the altercation was provoked by the guard’s aggressive behavior, which led to the confrontation.
Legal Implications: Charges and Investigation
It is reported that the security guard may have pressed charges against Offset, although no official charges have been filed yet. Offset has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, insisting that he was simply defending himself. The incident is now under investigation by the authorities, and it remains to be seen how the legal process will unfold.
