Offset has been admitted to hospital after he was wounded in a shooting in Florida.
The 34-year-old rapper – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – sustained “non-life threatening injuries” after being gunned down outside the Hard Rock Hollywood casino in Seminole, Florida on Monday evening (06.04.26) and a spokesperson for the star confirmed Offset’s condition is “stable”.
The representative told PEOPLE: “We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored.”
A spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department revealed two individuals have been detained in relation to the incident and an investigation is ongoing, telling TMZ.com: “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.
“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.”
Further details about the hip-hop star’s injuries were not available but a source added to PEOPLE: “Right now it looks like he’s going to be okay. He’s at Memorial Regional Hospital and is not in the ICU.”
Pictures shared on social media show the rapper smiling and posing for snaps with fans at the casino shortly before the incident.
Offset rose to fame as part of hip-hop trio Migos, alongside Quavo and Takeoff, but the group disbanded in 2023 after Takeoff was killed in a shooting in Houston, Texas the previous year.
Takeoff, 28, died from injuries sustained in the 2022 shooting outside a bowling alley and Offset remembered him in an emotional statement, which read: “Dear Take, doesn’t feel real posting you like this …
“This still doesn’t feel like reality. I’ve been searching for the right words to say, but there aren’t any that will suffice. I wish I could hug you one last time.
“Laugh one last time. Smoke one [sic] last time. Perform one last time. I know someone with a soul like yours is in heaven now. I hope you can see how much we love you and miss you. You have left a hole in my heart that will never be filled.”
Offset – who has three children with his ex Cardi B – went on to focus on his solo career.
