That clip of Offset going off on casino staff in Paris had everybody talking Monday. Now he says none of it was real.
The video, which surfaced Monday, showed the rapper arguing with employees at a casino on the Champs-Elysees. He was heated because other players were being allowed into what he called his spot at the blackjack table. In the clip he says he was betting ten and twenty thousand dollars a hand, claims he had already beaten the house out of $200,000, and tells the staff nobody should touch his things.
It looked like another wild Offset casino night. But the rapper says the whole thing was a skit for the rollout of his upcoming album GMFU, due October 23. “It’s a skit,” he reportedly said. “Man, they messin up my rollout.”
So the blowup that had the internet debating his gambling was apparently marketing all along. Whether he staged it or is covering for a real crashout, the rollout is doing its job. Everybody is talking about the album now.
