Offset is officially in serious trouble. After sitting front row at the Billboard Music Awards last night, the Migos superstar has some pretty big things to worry about. For once, the state of his relationship with Cardi B seems to be in a good place but his legal status is down in the dumps because, as reported by TMZ, Offset is now a wanted man.

We reported over the weekend that the Atlanta rapper had smacked a cell phone out of one of his fan's hands after being approached at a Target. Because of that, Offset is at risk of some serious felony charges. A felony arrest warrant has been issued after Set's appearance at the BBMA's for an incident in Georgia when a fan tried to take a video of the rapper checking out at the supermarket. Offset clearly wasn't feeling it that day and he decided to slap the phone out of the man's hands, cracking his screen. Because the phone costs over $800, which is the felony threshold for a situation like this, Offset is in some big trouble.

The artist continues to find himself in trouble with the law. Just the other day, he was officially charged in a case that dragged on since last year. As details emerge from his looming arrest, we will update you.
