Two members of the rap group Migos were charged with possession of drugs and guns following a concert in Georgia over the weekend.
The “Versace” rappers were playing Georgia Southern University’s Spring Bling Saturday night (April 19) when the show was cut short after police arrived on the scene.
The three members, Quavo, Offset, Takeoff, along with their entourage, were stopped by the cops for questioning after leaving the stage.
According to Rolling Stone, it was during this questioning that both Quavo (real name Quavious Marshall) and Offset (real name Kiari Cyphus) were arrested for felony possession of drugs, including cocaine, Oxycontin and codeine. They were also charged with carrying a loaded weapon in a school zone.

Offset was charged with two felonies including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and carrying a weapon in a school zone, along with two misdemeanors—marijuana less than an ounce, possession of schedule II controlled substance.
Members of the group’s entourage were also reportedly arrested on similar drug and weapons charges.
The band has not released an official statement about the arrest, but has been tweeting photos from jail that include the hashtag, #FreetheMigos.
Migos’ debut album YRN Tha Album is due out next month.
