“You just watched somebody beat my car up with a flag – what are you talking about?” said Offset in response.
The Migos star continued arguing with police about his rights when another officer forced him to open his door.
“You’re going to get out of this car right now,” said the officer.
Offset told the officers that he was going to sue them, but they still pulled him out of the car.
A rep for the rapper released a statement saying he was eventually let go.
