Offset has been hospitalised after being shot near a casino in Hollywood, Florida on Monday night.
According to editors at TMZ, the former Migos rapper was injured while standing close to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
A representative for Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – confirmed that he was transported to the Memorial Regional Hospital and was being treated for a gunshot wound.
“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” they commented. “He is stable and being closely monitored.”
A short time later, officials from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office announced that they had detained two individuals in connection with the shooting.
It’s unclear whether any arrests have been made.
“We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood,” they stated. “Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”
Offset, 34, shares three children with estranged wife Cardi B. He also has three children from previous relationships.
The I Like It rapper filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024, but the split is yet to be finalised.
Offset’s Migos bandmate, Takeoff, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas back in November 2022.
