Offset Admits He Has A Gambling Problem

Offset is getting candid about his gambling habits, admitting that he believes he needs to stop while revealing that gambling has become a way for him to escape personal struggles.

During a recent appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast, the former Migos rapper was asked directly whether he believes he has a gambling problem.

He responded,

“I’m gonna be a million percent real with y’all. I like to gamble, right? I feel like I need to stop. I need to stop.”

However, Offset initially suggested that he views problematic gambling differently when someone has the financial means to support the habit.

He explained,

“But I feel like a problem is when you, like, selling [expletive], you ain’t got the money to do it. I’m doing this [expletive] to get away.”

The rapper also revealed that some of his gambling-related appearances are actually paid promotional opportunities, explaining that he has received significant compensation to promote gambling.

His comments come amid several casino-related controversies.

In April, Offset was shot outside a Florida casino. He is also facing a lawsuit from Detroit’s MotorCity Casino Hotel over an alleged $100,000 unpaid gambling debt. The casino claims he failed to repay a credit line opened in 2024. His representative previously said they were working toward a resolution.

More recently, Offset made headlines after footage surfaced of him arguing with casino employees in Paris, although he later claimed the incident was staged for promotional purposes.

Just last week, the rapper acknowledged being hesitant to return to casinos following his experiences but indicated he wasn’t ready to give up gambling.

Now, his latest comments suggest he’s reconsidering that position.

Do you think Offset should take a break from gambling altogether?
