Offset Facing Felony Gun Possession Charge For Arrest Last Summer

Offset is facing a felony gun possession charge related to his arrest last July in Georgia. Clayton County prosecutors have filed one felony and two misdemeanor charges against the Migos member, reports TMZ. Last July, Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was arrested after being pulled over for allegedly making an improper lane change outside Atlanta.
