Hysterical Cardi B screams at cops to release her ‘unarmed’ husband Offset

Cardi B had to be physically restrained on Saturday as she pleaded with police in Beverly Hills to release her rapper husband Offset, who had been detained on suspicion of waving a gun at Trump supporters.

‘That’s my husband! Why are you pointing a gun at him?’ she yelled, as she was held back by a friend.

The rapper appeared on the scene in her new black Rolls Royce and looked on as Offset argued with officers next to his orange Jeep.

Offset, 28, is heard telling the officers who ask him to step away from the car: ‘I’m not going nowhere.’

His wife then shouts: ‘Let me record this.’ 

As Offset is led away, she yells loudly: ‘No! This is crazy! My husband is not armed. My husband is not armed.’  

He is then pictured being questioned by officers, away from his car.

Offset was later released without charge, and Cardi B’s cousin, Marcelo Almanzar, 20, was arrested and charged with gun offenses.

Almanzar was later released several hours later, at 9:35pm, on a $35,000 bail. 

The saga began when Offset was pulled over by officers in Beverly Hills on Saturday afternoon, and filmed the incident.  

In a video shared to his Instagram Live, the rapper refused to step out of his car while being questioned by cops – one of whom had a weapon drawn.  

That officer told Offset there had been a report that he was ‘waving guns at people’ as he drove through the area. He replied that Trump supporters had hit his car with a flag.

In a statement, the Beverly Hills Police Department told DailyMail.com that it was actually Almanzar who was arrested for the alleged offense. 

The statement read: ‘Shortly after 5pm, Beverly Hills Police received information from a passerby of a subject who pointed a weapon from a vehicle at him. The passerby provided a license plate to the vehicle, and the vehicle was stopped by patrol units a short distance away. 

‘After the on-scene investigation, the passenger in the vehicle [Almanzar] was arrested.’ 

Almanzar has now been charged with carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm in public. He was released on Saturday night on a $35,000 bond. 

It’s unclear whether he was trying to intimidate or antagonize members of the pro-Trump rally. Cardi B is a prominent Joe Biden supporter.

During Offset’s livestreamed video he could be heard telling officers: ‘I’m a f**king celebrity, do you know who I am? I’m Offset from [hip-hop trio] Migos.’

He continued: ‘You told me to put my hands up, I’m not doing that. There’s 25,000 people [watching] on my livestream. You’re gonna get sued publicly.’

Another of the cops subsequently attempted to reach into Offset’s car and open the door from the inside. 

‘You can’t do that! It’s not legal!’ the star snapped. 

‘I’m gonna sue the s**t outta you. Ya’ll know who I am?’ he asked the officers. 

The stream ended after the officer opened the door and Offset stepped out. 

Separate video showed him being placed into handcuffs as a crowd of Trump supporters looked on.
