The Migos member was reportedly caught with at least one weapon in his car.

Offset and the Migos have been having an amazing year so far with the release of Culture II and their individual success with feature spots. In fact, the group has shaped the culture so much that Set decided to immortalize their influence with his daughter's name, giving his and Cardi B's daughter the name Kulture. Unfortunately, the recording artist suffered a little bit of a setback today as he was reportedly arrested for possession of a firearm in Georgia, just outside of Atlanta.

TMZ is reporting that the rapper was nabbed after being pulled over for tinted windows. What is usually a minor infraction or a warning ended up bringing Offset to jail as the cops discovered at least one gun inside the vehicle. As a convicted felon who is currently on probation, this is a pretty bad violation for Offset. The publication is stating that he is still behind bars in the state and there is no current information about possible bail or a timeline on when he will be released. According to TMZ, neither Cardi or baby Kulture were in the SUV at the time of his arrest.

Offset had just performed the other day at Dana White's son's birthday party. They say bad things come in threes, which appears to be the case with Migos as both Takeoff and Quavo reportedly owe the state of Georgia thousands of dollars in taxes. Hopefully, everything is cleared up for Offset soon. As details emerge, we will update you.
