Rapper Offset was pictured kicking an attacker during a street fight in Paris on Wednesday night.
The 32-year-old musical artist was in the French capital after making a paid-for appearance at Luks Kebab – reportedly pocketing £10,000 for a five-minute visit.
As he left a hotel later among a group of people, where he was said to have spent time with French rapper Gazo, Offset was filmed climbing into a car before getting back out again as he was approached aggressively.
Among a group of men, Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – was slammed up against the car, with the enraged rapper trying to break free and retaliate before his security intervened.
The brawl then widened once Offset, the estranged husband of Cardi B, stepped into the street, where he reportedly started fighting someone else, after trying to break free from his own security guard who was firmly holding him back.
One photo also shows him aiming a kick at the head of one of his assailants once he broke free from security, while members of his entourage got involved with the fight and screams rang out and car horns were honked.

In footage obtained by TMZ, the rapper and songwriter was then pushed forcibly back into the lobby of the Hôtel du Collectionneur as the fight broadened out.
One man’s shirt was even ripped off his back as he tried to calm down the chaos.
In another scary moment, a woman fell backwards onto the ground in a tumble as she fought those involved in the fisticuffs in a crush by the hotel doors.
According to the US-based outlet, the men confronting the Migos star were part of Gazo’s entourage.

Sources claimed to them that the two rappers were due to shoot a music video together but Gazo’s men wanted money they claimed they were owed.
Gazo was not present during any of the footage of the fight.
Earlier that evening, Offset had also appeared at an H&M party in a black leather outfit and chunky boots, which he posted a clip of on his Instagram stories.

He also shared a post of himself talking a selfie in a hotel mirror on Thursday afternoon, cryptically writing: ‘Regret so much s**t next year it’s up for everybody put it all in the music [sic].’
However, there seemed to be no lasting hard feelings between he and Gazo either, as the French star also shared photos of the two of them sitting at a restaurant table having drinks together.
His post came on Thursday afternoon, hours after the tussle outside the hotel.
Offset has been married to WAP chart-topper Cardi, also 32, since 2017, with the former couple sharing three kids together: daughter Kulture, 6, son Wave, three, and a new baby girl born in September.

Cardi – real name Belcalis Marlenis – announced they were expecting again the day after officially filing for divorce from Offset in July.
Offset is best known for songs including Ric Flair Drip and Ghostface Killers.
With group Migos, their most popular tracks include Bad and Boujee, Fight Night and Stir Fry.
Migos was founded by Offset, Quavo and Takeoff in 2008.
Takeoff was shot and killed, aged 28, in Houston after an altercation at a bowling alley in November 2022.
Metro has contacted Offset’s reps for comment.
