Offset, who is married to superstar Cardi B, reportedly took the car in May 2020 with a promise of paying $600 (N228,000) per day for it. The company has reportedly claimed that the lease they had with the superstar was supposed to last for a few days but he allegedly kept requesting extensions to his rental period.
