Cardi B’s husband Offset was reportedly detained at a shopping centre in Los Angeles.
The 28-year-old, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus was detained by officers, reports TMZ.

Law enforcement sources told the publication that they recovered two guns.
Offset and his entourage were then reportedly taken to the police station for further questioning with no official arrests made.
