Offset‘s got a love-hate relationship with casinos … he got shot at one, owes another a ton of money, and got into a shouting match at another … but he leaned into all the drama for a new music video.

We got the rapper at LAX on Thursday, and we asked him about his new music vid with Don Toliver … they collabed on his upcoming album, “GMFU,” and filmed inside a casino.

Offset says it’s a case of art imitating life.

The former Migos rapper says his life is a “movie” … so filming inside a casino just makes too much sense.

Offset’s never met a dull moment inside a casino … he clashed with employees at a casino in Paris in October… in April he was shot near a casino in Florida … and he’s working to resolve a $100K debt to a casino in Detroit.

Our photog asked Offset if all the drama makes him hesitant to go back to a casino … and while he agrees, it also sounds like he’s going to keep gambling. As we said, it’s a love-hate thing.
