Offset Sued By Security Guard for Assault Amid Tax Woes

Security guard Jim Sanchez alleges Offset assaulted him after a dispute over showing ID, leading to severe injuries and a hospital visit, with the rapper denying initial aggression.

  • On Saturday, November 1, court documents show Jim Sanchez, security guard, filed a lawsuit alleging assault, battery and emotional distress by Offset, Kiari Kendrell Cephus, at the MedMen LAX cannabis dispensary in March.
  • The confrontation began after the guard asked Offset to show identification, which filings say prompted a hostile response, but Offset's representative denies he started the violence and says Sanchez rushed him and spat in his face.
  • According to the filings, store security team at MedMen LAX sprayed mace and exchanged punches during the fight, police were called, and paramedics later transported Sanchez for severe head and neck pain.
  • The lawsuit compounds Offset's legal problems, as he faces an IRS lien totaling over $2.3 million and a $232,000 judgment from alleged 2021 strip club assault with a February 2026 hearing.
  • Offset, a former Migos rapper, recently praised his mother on The Jennifer Hudson Show, saying `My mom influenced me with raising my kids is just like discipline` and shares three children with Cardi B.
