Detroit Casino Hits Offset With Lawsuit Following Six-Figure Debt
In response to TMZ, Detroit’s MotorCity Casino Hotel is suing Offset, claiming he opened a $100,000 credit line to maintain an evening of gambling going back in March 2024. The casino claims they couldn’t get in contact with the previous Migos member, so that they tried to tug the cash from his account like they agreed when he opened the road. But after they went to gather, there allegedly wasn’t enough money to cover the debt. Now, the casino has reportedly filed a lawsuit against him for breach of contract, fraud, and more related allegations. Despite the legal heat, a representative for Offset has reportedly told TMZ they’re “working toward a resolution.” Per Complex, the casino filed the lawsuit on March 30, just per week before Offset was shot outside of Florida’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on April 6.
