Migos rapper Offset will no longer be prosecuted on gun possession, drug and traffic charges stemming from a July 2018 arrest in Jonesboro because there’s a larger federal investigation that’s being conducted, authorities said.


The Clayton County District Attorney’s Office sent AJC.com documents that dismissed all charges against the 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, on July 1. However, according to the documents, the district attorney’s office is stepping down at the request of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which is continuing a “much larger investigation.”


On July 20, 2018, Clayton County police officers were told by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to look out for two vehicles under their surveillance, the documents said. One of those vehicles was Cephus’ 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera, which also had his bodyguard, Senay Gezahgn, inside.


Master P's independent approach to music transformed the industry. Now the rapper is looking to take what he's learned and apply it to Hollywood.


During his latest appearance on the Breakfast Club, Master P explained how necessary it is for black creatives to own their content. He does this by dissecting one of Hollywood's biggest cultural hits, Black Panther


"You got to realize why it's so important," P said. "When we do a project like Black Panther, we didn't benefit off that man ... Like black people was in the movie and we were happy and excited, but it wasn't us." Master P then went on to explain how his upcoming film I Got the Hook Up 2 is the start of black people controlling what they create. 


"We did this for the budget, we did it more and we did it for millions of dollars, but imagine if we had hundreds of millions of dollars to make a project? How would it look?" Master P continued. "This is the growth. This is why this is important because we're coming back into the community, putting money back into the community. But it's a process. We got to grow with this. Just like I did with music."
