"I don't live in his world.... but shouldn't the limit that your personal shopper has access to be FAR less than that? I mean... you don't send them out to buy new cars and houses, do you?"

In other entertainment news, Briefly.co.za reported that a rental company is suing Offset for allegedly failing to return their Bentley Bentayga. The US rapper is being sued by Platinum Transportation Group (PTG) after he told the company he had no clue where the luxurious vehicle was.
Offset, who is married to superstar Cardi B, reportedly took the car in May 2020 with a promise of paying $600 (R8 800) 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.
Complex reports that the Migos member informed PTG on 4 July that he couldn't recall who used the car last. He continued paying for it until their deal expired on 25 July, the publication reports. PTG argued that the absence of the luxurious vehicle has resulted in more than $100 000 ( R1 488 870) in missed revenue.
US rappers are popular for driving fleshy cars and wearing expensive clothes and jewellery. They live in huge mansions and even brag about their extra ordinary lifestyle in their songs.
