According to documents secured by TMZ, security guard Jim Sanchez has filed a law suit against Offset alleging assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress against Offset.
Born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, the incident occurred in March during the musician’s visit to a MedMen cannabis dispensary near Los Angeles airport.
The plaintiff alleged that when he asked Offset to show identification, Offset “became hostile, verbally confrontational, and physically attacked the Plaintiff by striking him in the face.” The guard accused several others of joining in to “further assault and batter” him during the altercation, claiming that, due to suffering severe head and neck pain, he was subsequently taken to a local hospital by paramedics.
Offset’s representative denied that the singer initiated the violence, stating that the dispensary guard rushed him and spat in the hip-hop artist’s face during the dispute over showing identification.
