“What up, Offset?” said the fan, who was recording the incident with a phone.
A man identified as the rapper can be seen apparently smacking the phone.
The broken item was valued at $800, and Offset allegedly did this on purpose, hence the felony count.
Junior Gibbons, 18, told TMZ he saw Offset buying a baby stroller, so he recorded a selfie video with the performer. he claimed that Offset told him to take that “fuckin’ phone out of my face.” The teen filed a police report, but his family said they just want the rapper to pay for the broken phone.
