According to Findling, the "MotorSport" rapper was very worried about his family, especially his newborn Kulture Kiari, while behind bars.
"He is concerned, very concerned, about [Cardi B]," he said. "Of course his new baby is his top priority as well as his other children."
The celebrity lawyer also argued that his client did not do anything wrong. Offset neither committed any traffic violation nor was he in possession of a weapon at the time of the arrest, claimed Findling.
The arrest took place a few weeks after Offset was involved in a car crash in Atlanta. He received minor injuries and was rushed to the hospital. Immediately after, Rapper was sent home to recuperate.
He will soon be heading on tour with the rest of Migos and Drake this month as part of "Aubrey & The Three Migos." The North American trek kicks off on July 26, Thursday, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
