In January 2020, Offset was detained by police in Los Angeles. According to TMZ, law enforcement received a call at around 8 p.m. claiming there was someone with a gun inside of the parking garage at The Grove. When police officers arrived, they detained Offset and "members of his team," but allegedly the person with the weapon had already left the scene.

In total, officers arrested four people including the rapper. 

Offset was later released from custody just after midnight on Jan. 30, after two of the arrest members admitted that the guns were theirs. He told the outlet that they fixed the mistake and it was all "a simple misunderstanding."

"We fixed it up," Offset told the camera. "It wasn't me. It was the wrong man, you know."

His lawyer, at the time, responded to the charges by claiming that Offset was being exploited for money. According to USA Today, he said it was "disgraceful and should be dismissed."

At the time, Offset was still dealing with the fallout from an arrest the previous year.
