But the 34-year-old is also facing a separate legal issue. He has been hit with a $100,000 gambling debt, which he allegedly borrowed from a Detroit casino.
According to TMZ, MotorCity Casino Hotel has filed a lawsuit against the rapper over the six-figure sum.
The casino claims Offset opened a line of credit in March 2024 to fund a night of gambling.
Rapper Offset Sued Over $100,000 Casino Debt
According to the report, the casino was unable to recover the money after attempting to withdraw the agreed amount directly from Offset's account.
It is alleged that there were insufficient funds to cover the debt.
The situation has now escalated, with the casino suing Offset for "breach of contract, fraud, and more."
A representative for the rapper told TMZ that "we are working toward a resolution."
The lawsuit was reportedly filed just days before the shooting in Florida.
This is not the first time Offset has faced financial issues. He previously paid more than $1.5 million to the IRS after being hit with a federal tax lien.
