As Atlanta rapper Offset recovers from a recent shooting in Florida, the former Migos member faces a fresh legal dispute tied to a six-figure gambling marker with Detroit’s MotorCity Casino & Hotel.
According to court filings first reported by TMZ, the casino has sued the rapper over an unpaid $100,000 line of credit. The casino alleges Offset opened the credit line during a gambling visit in March 2024 to continue wagering through the night.
Casino officials say the arrangement followed a standard casino marker agreement. Under that contract, the venue could withdraw unpaid balances directly from the patron’s bank account if the debt remained unsettled.
However, the casino claims that attempt failed.
Legal documents obtained by TMZ state that staff tried to contact Offset after the balance remained unpaid. The casino later attempted an authorized withdrawal from the account listed in the agreement. According to the filing, the account allegedly lacked sufficient funds to cover the debt.

The lawsuit accuses the rapper of breach of contract and fraud. Attorneys for the casino are seeking repayment of the $100,000 marker along with additional damages.
Offset’s camp acknowledged the dispute while signaling that negotiations remain ongoing. “We are working toward a resolution,” a representative for the rapper told TMZ.
The legal battle arrives during a chaotic week for the Atlanta artist. Days before news of the lawsuit surfaced, Offset was shot in the leg outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
Witnesses said the incident followed an argument involving associates of Lil Tjay that escalated into a physical fight before gunfire erupted. Offset was transported to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries authorities later described as non-life-threatening.
Meanwhile, the Detroit lawsuit adds another chapter to the rapper’s financial history. Federal records previously showed Offset resolving a tax lien exceeding $1.5 million filed by the Internal Revenue Service.
For now, Offset’s team says discussions continue as the rapper recovers and the casino dispute moves forward.
