Migos Rapper Offset, Gets Hit With More Charges

I guess being "Handsome and Wealthy," isn't something Migos rapper Offset is content with. Unfortunately, the young rapper continues to sabotage himself and his group.

On April 18, in addition to Offset, Migos members Quavo and Takeoff were all arrested on Georgia Southern University’s campus. The DX reports the trio was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, carrying a loaded firearm on school property, as well as possession of a schedule II narcotic and possession of marijuana.

According to court docs, three days later both Quavo and Takeoff managed to post $10,000 bail, but Offset remained locked-up because he had an extensive rap sheet. Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus is going to be in jail a lot longer than anticipated too. His imprisonment has obviously put his group in a major bind, preventing them from making appearances, which equals no money. No one knows that better than the Migos legal team/management/label, who've all been trying to get Offset released, so the group can resume their tour. So far Migos has cancelled all shows booked May 4 - 28.

Now any hope of the group getting on track by June has gone up in smoke. For starters last month Offset's bond was denied due to prior felony convictions. If that's not bad enough, now he's being accused of getting into a fight and causing a riot in jail. The Statesboro Herald reports the 23-year-old has now been charged with battery and causing a riot in a penal institution. Apparently the rapper was was involved in a fight with another inmate at the Bulloch County Jail on Saturday (May 2) and it was all caught by the jail video surveillance.
