Offset is facing felony charges because the phone was worth $800 and what he did was intentional.
I saw the extended video of the incident myself, and proves many who say the teenager deserved it, wrong. Some fans say that they would have done the same thing if they had someone following them with a phone in their face, but that’s not the truth in the video.
The boy was standing in one position waiting for Offset to walk pass him, and take his chance to quickly film him. It’s then that you see Offset smacking the phone out of the teenagers hand, damaging it.
