Offset Buys Used Car for Bystander Who Helped Him After Car Crash

Jmer Coleman

Rapper Offset is thankful that the police didn't roll up on him when his custom Dodge Challenger smacked into a tree after a night of partying 2 weeks ago. The Good Samaritan who helped Offset to his house that night sat down with Miss Sophia of the Frank And Wanda Morning Show on V-103 to discuss the accident and the aftermath.

Atlanta police investigated the accident as suspicious since the driver left the scene before they arrived.

Offset was briefly hospitalized with neck and facial injuries. Until now, little was known about what really happened tat night.

Apparently there was a bystander named J'Mmer Coleman, who witnessed the single car accident, and helped Offset to get home.

Offset thanked Coleman in a now-deleted video on Wednesday.

"This is my boy. This is J'Mmer Coleman," Offset said on Wednesday. "He saved my life when I had an accident. He was the only one that seen me, helped me get out the car, helped me walk, get to where I had to get to. So, I bought my boy a car because, you know, he was walking to work. He was walking to work when he saved my life. God is good. God is good. God is good. God is good. Good is good all the time. Yes sir."

It's been 2 weeks since the accident. Why is Offset thanking Coleman today? Is it because Coleman told his story to Miss Sophia -- and half of Atlanta heard Coleman say Offset begged him not to call the police?

J'Mmer told Miss Sophia he was walking home from work when he witnessed a car crash into a tree.

Jmer Coleman

Coleman said the driver got out of the car and ran up to him. The driver introduced himself as "Offset" and begged him for help getting home, which was apparently nearby.

Coleman said Offset dropped one of his diamond chains in the street.

"I picked it up, gave it back to him, and I was about to call the police. He said 'no, don't call the police.' He just said 'bro, just help me to my house so I can get to my folks.'"

Coleman said he helped Offset get home. When they walked into the house, the rapper ran upstairs where Cardi B was apparently sleeping.

"She came down screaming," said Coleman, who added that Offset's knees buckled when he came back down the stairs.

After the interview on V-103 on Wednesday morning, Offset called Coleman and offered to buy him a car to keep his mouth shut.

According to sources, Offset previously offered to take care of Coleman, but he did not get back in contact with the Good Samaritan until today.

    Is it illegal to not report an accident if no one else or their property is damaged? And how did he run up the steps if he couldn’t walk down the street...

  • Wayup!

    Yeah something don't add up...1+1=????

  • xenaD

    Too many unanswered questions!...

  • FukkFolks2018

    He was mad bc they called him a crykehead. I would be too. Even if I looked like one...bc he kinda does. Lets be real here. Doesnt matter tho. Pay me. Something. And a used ass Altima not gonna cut it. FOMF. Fukk you Offset.

    Damn Sandra....you can find the shade in any situation. Like Offset said, God IS good... he places people in our paths for a reason, OS needed help, the young man needed a car, it’s all lovely. Of course he didn’t want the police called he was prolly on that gas, beans, liquor and everything else.

  • Wayup!

    ???
    Right we goin crack this case one way or the other girl you n me..???
    Really though it's not rocket science...
    The part that had me laughing a little bit in my head mind you.. was the image of cardi B running down the steeps with that basketball stomach of hers screaming... So very dramatic...?

  • hi-liter

    OAN: he was driving a custom Dodge Challenger and not a Hellcat, I’m surprised, but good thing because he prolly wouldn’t be here today.

  • the guest

    Offset forgot about him until he spoke publicly. Now, Offset is going to keep his promise. He'll spend $300,000 on a chain, but forgets the guy who literally saved his life and helped him home.

    Obviously Offset was under some kind of influence and needed not to be at the scene. So this guy also helped him avoid a DUI.

    I'm not sure if it's Offset, but I think one of Migos is on probation. If it is Offset who is on probation, then this guy did him an incredible solid and deserves generous reward.

    Especially because he helped without any expectation.

    Those chains aren't worth $300,000. You can buy 25 diamond chips on eBay for $50. If a chain has 600 chips in it, that's $1,200 plus labor. Don't let them fool you.

  • http://sandrarose.com SandraRose

    He lied and said he swerved to miss hitting a crackhead. No one was in the street. But, okay.

  • the guest

    You are the best Ms. Sandra. Celebrities can't put anything past you. I never even considered he was wearing diamond chips.

  • hi-liter

    If he’s smart, he should be.

  • the guest

    So it's really all just for show. No long term value.

  • http://sandrarose.com SandraRose

    Rappers present a public image of wealth and prosperity to their fans. The reality is far less glamorous.

  • ImWoke

    You would think that the crackhead would be the first one to assist him out of the car, or to snatch that chain for the next hit.

  • the guest

    He should buy this guy a car and a modest condo. He kept Offset out of jail. Not many strangers will hold you up and walk you to home, basically help you evade arrest which is what Offset begged him to do.

  • the guest

    Are any rappers truly wealthy? It has to be hard putting on a front and secretly struggling.

  • Logan Roberts

    People talk so damn much. If Offset was a regular Joe you wouldn't be expecting nothing. That man don't owe you nothing but a sincere thank-you.

  • Django the God
  • Rayne

    Better stay off the drugs. Ion understand how you get rich and become a crack head. Could’ve stayed in the hood then. ????

  • Enoughsaid2020

    Exactly. These hip hop artist always flaunting a fake lifestyle they do not have. SMH!

  • hottlanta

    Wow you so smart you know how to buy cheap jewelry. Sandra you so wise.

  • Tena

    Lmao! Now Sandra

  • J2PC

    That would be poor investment. They would have to be high & out of their minds to get tricked into indebting themselves to taking out loans or pay their a large some of their $$$ for some overpriced fools gold & hyped up carbon glass [aka diamonds taken from the Black native to the Motherland of Africa].

  • pure_rachet

    The city property was damaged. The tree belongs to the city. At least in California

  • hottlanta

    Just like Bynum folks thought she was buying that big phune mansion she was leasing it. Back in the ole skool Mr. V's club days those Benzes/BMW's were leased for Friday/Saturday took back on Sunday while brother catch the bus to
    work on Monday. Go to his apartment and you happen to slip and fall. Look under the table and his furniture was straight out of Aaron Rental.

  • J2PC

    Ice Cube, Ice T, Dr. Dre, JZ are high ranking wealthy rappers, but they've also increased their wealth by diversifying their talent elsewhere.

    A number struggling rappers tend sell drugs and engaging in human trafficking, etc. to hustle more street dollars to keep up a public image or just to survive. smh

  • J2PC

    Eh. Is it the other type of god or is the good Almighty Holy GOD that dwells in wrongdoing, deceit, drugs, alcohol, shady boots business?? Nowadays, the word god is used as an ambiguous noun and flip-flop universal pronoun.

  • Alicia.Ashe

    ???

  • i troll it like i see it

    I'm confused. Is he on probation and was doing something illegal at the time of he accident? Why was there so much push back over calling for help? An ambulance? He didn't recieve medical attention? He bought the man a used car? With all the money he and his fiancé waste on jewelry and other flashy mess? They can't buy a cheap new car for the man? That's stingy.

  • i troll it like i see it

    I agree, someone I know was bragging about their wife's big diamond engagement ring, I'm like the one with the baguets and diamond chips?

  • i troll it like i see it

    I agree that used car purchase says a lot about his character or lack there of. Someone helps you out like that and you do the bare f*cking minimum for them especially when you can certainly afford better. That's some low life sh*t.

  • therealashland

    Not impressed. That’s probably a 2008 2010 at Best. This man saved you from going to jail. And a cash car that was probably less than 3k. Nah offset. He could have called them boys and you would have been in jail. 2014 car and cash would have been more appropriate

  • Trey

    He was on that dope....

  • the guest

    Thank you.

  • SumthinSweeter

    ??

  • justlooking

    hollers

  • Jussjess25

    Im not reading all that. Can somebody summarize it for me ?

  • justlooking

    I can't....How you doing.

    LOL

  • CS

    Yep!!!!! ???

  • kekeb

    I think it's true that rappers really don't have the money they appear to

  • kekeb

    Yup. That's the take away I got from that TLC biopic! Lol. Everybody eats off the talent -unless you're independent (like Rasheeda was for years)

  • kekeb

    "And a used ass Altima not gonna cut it. FOMF. Fukk you Offset"
    ***
    Hollering ???

  • kekeb

    Honestly, you don't know that he CAN afford better. I ASSUME he can, but these artists be scraping by. Don't you remember the TLC biopic? Toni Braxton? And countless other artists who get the raw and of the deal?
    Now, CARDI B on the other hand may need to float this young man some cash for helping save her baby daddy life

  • kekeb

    Nah. Offset should not have called the man a crackhead. If ANYBODY talks too much, its offset and Cardi. Did you watch the entire interview? He said all he wanted was a sincere thank you. He didn't ask for or expect the car

  • kekeb

    And HE KNOWS WHERE HE LIVES!!! THATS THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS STORY! if you're famous and someone random knows where you live (and it's not gated), you need to move OR treat them very well

  • kekeb

    You know what, the lesson is:
    BE THANKFUL.
    Offset should be thankful for Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Coleman should be thankful for Offset buying him this car.

    Sidenote:
    Don't call people "crackhead", especially if they aren't one.
    Extra Sidenote:
    We don't know what (if any other gifts) Mr. Coleman received, so don't say Offset should have/could have done better. And even if he got nothing else, it's better than what he had before.

  • Sally Wright McLinn

    "That seen me". I'm embarassed as a teacher that our kids talk and write like this.

  • Sally Wright McLinn

    I was in a car accident, hit from behind. Believe me, Offset is going to have problems going forward because of the accident. Migraines, eyesight problems, back problems. These young kids think they are superman and something like a car accident won't effect them. They're living a dangerous life.

  • Sally Wright McLinn

    See the TV show Atlanta for verification.

  • the guest

    The video of Offset presenting him the car is disgusting. Offset condescending him repeating over and over he was walking to work and now I got him a car. So what he was walking. Maybe he chose to walk. A walking man saved his life and kept him out of jail. And Offset gives him a used car and presents it to him on social media which is tacky.

  • Nonya Bizness

    Do you think they're thinking about investing and diversifying portfolios, or do you think they're thinking about the benefits they're given to use for that soul they signed over for Fame&Fortune, such as women, d rugs, fast cars, Black Cards, etc? I've read that they don't have any money. They're given Black cards and leased houses that can be snatched back at a moment's notice when they don't "behave". Everything is a show and one of the goals is for consumers to spend their hard earned money on BS that we think celebs have. A few years ago there was a story supposedly by Anonymous when they hacked celebs bank accounts and it came out that people like Kim K and her mom didn't have a lot of wealth, but a lot of car and house leases and credit. Credit can be taken back just as it was given.

  • Nonya Bizness

    Offset didn't have to buy him anything. If someone wants to GIFT me an Altima, I'll take it. We can't forget about Registration&Insurance costs. My registration was over $600 in Feb. I just moved out of state last month and I'm going to have to pay almost $800 for plates and tags. When I looked at cars for my son, I checked insurance rates before purchasing. A 2 door car is considered a "sports car" and has higher insurance than a sedan does.That Altima is a reliable car that will get decent gas mileage. Don't buy a Benz and act like the maintenance, gas,registration and insurance costs are the same as an Altima.

  • Doink_Ahanahue

    There sure are a lot of entitled comments on this. I agree, OS must have been high or drunk or both when he had the accident since he didn't want Police called. But when did helping someone mean they HAD to buy you anything?! He bought him a used car. It's more car than he had! Not expensive to insure and reasonably dependable. MUCH better than having to walk or MARTA everywhere... People are a trip

  • Shawty

    Wonder why he didn't want the police called.

  • Waya Hedia

    A used car? I'll bet $10 there's a pic somewhere of this guy with wads of cash.

  • Quitedeliteful

    I'm glad he gave the man something. Even if it is to shut him up it's still a nice thing to do -- especially since the guy was walking everywhere...

  • i troll it like i see it

    This is true and I do remember TLC and it was sad how Pebbles did them.

  • Quitedeliteful

    Is Miss Sophie a 'lady boy'????

  • i troll it like i see it

    Omg that was hilarious.

  • Strip Club Veteran

    Definitely deserved a better gift than an old ass chick car (altima).

  • ?Patty Kakes?

    He wears 4 and 5 watches on one arm and you mean to tell me all he got that dude was a old as Altima SMDH ? he practically saved your life NI**A

  • joel adams

    Just give me cash bro. And 1 hr with nikki minaj

  • Marlika

    Why is he talking?? Ugh STFU and take the car.

  • Reina1718

    He spoke b4 he got the car

  • Reina1718

    Maybe suspended liscense or driving under the influence....or both

  • Reina1718

    What if he cant afford insurance?

  • Reina1718

    So where was the crackhead he had to "swerve" from so he wont hit him?

  • Reina1718

    Along with the drugs he take

  • http://sandrarose.com SandraRose

    He lied about that.

  • Reina1718

    Exactly, He took offset home 2 a house with 3 dudes chilling downstairs & his baby momma upstairs sleep.

  • Trace da Ace

    I bet that is why dude started talking...cause offset never got back to him...hell for all of that he could have given him one of them necklaces....cause he basically kept Offset from going to jail that night.....so now this dude is turning from good Samaritan to accomplice after the fact or some shit....iono...but I bet the po po's are listening...anything to build a case.....stay tuned!

  • MsVAllDay

    Why does this dude look so weird????

  • MsVAllDay

    I'm sure he gave him more than what's being reported

  • Dowoop

    Nope not illegal. What would have been illegal was what ever he was drinking or taking that had him under the influence when he crashed

  • Judi Jupiter

    No. It's not. You have the choice to fix it or call insurance. Best to fix it, so your insurance doesn't go up.

  • BloodBlood

    A car is a car especially when your a ss don't have one!!!

  • hottlanta

    Hellooooo I am doing phune. Trying to stay as slutty and as grandmotherly as much as I can get away with. Just got back from seeing BigHots she is still hanging in there. Thanks for the continuation of love and prayers.

  • Allihave2say

    Yeah my sister's first husband gave her a ring made out of chips. I was like WTF? Everyone in the family was bragging on how big the ring is but it aint' worth nothing. I personally thought dude bought the ring at the flea market or Walmart but hey!

  • i troll it like i see it

    People impressed my baguettes and diamond chips don't realize there is a difference in value between a a large solitaire diamond and a cluster of chips lumped together, to look like a big diamond.

  • Ms. Cree

    SAME!!!! LMAO!!

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Some of y’all sound crazy where is it written down that offset had to give him anything? He could’ve just kept it moving and let it be what what it was . Then what kind of car y’all wanted him to buy? He still have to maintain it and pay insurance

  • Shanayeblanco38

    Ummmm Je didn’t have to do anything to be honest he could’ve just said Thankyou and kept it moving

  • WutizstillHERE!

    He bought him what he could afford...beeleeeve me..they wear their money...
