Looking back through 1/3 of the Migos’ socials, it’s clear that he sports some extremely hyped sneakers. Like the Stussy SB Dunk Low Cherry, Jordan 3 Retro UNC, and the Cactus Jack Jordan 6, just to name a few.

However, the claim that he contributes more than, say, Drake, J. Balvin, or Travis Scott in the past year seems a bit much, even for his sneakerhead status. Especially since the three aforementioned artists just had major releases related to the sneaker and apparel companies. And of course, the internet was quick to respond.

Unfortunately, that’s not the end of the drama for the self-proclaimed “Nike Trendsetter” gets sued for “misplacing” a 2020 Bently Bentayga in May of last year. The Atlanta rapper made rental payments of $600 a day on the vehicle until July 25th, although he couldn’t remember who had it last. At which point, Offset stopped making payments altogether. Platinum Transportation Group who rented the Bently claims they’ve missed more than $100,000 in revenue. Seeing as this announcement dropped just hours ago, the Migos rapper has yet to reply.

So, what do you make of Offset’s notion that you only wear Nike because of his trendsetting ways? Or, better yet, his being sued for a lost Bently? Keep it locked with YankeeKicks for more news coming soon.
