Rapper Offset, aged 34, was hospitalized after being shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday evening. The incident occurred shortly after he had cheerfully posed for photos with a fan, completely unaware of the impending violence.
Details of the Shooting Incident
According to witnesses, Offset was standing near the entrance of the casino, looking toward the valet area while on a phone call, when fans approached him. He engaged with them, taking pictures and flashing a smile, his wrist adorned with beaded bracelets. Minutes later, the shooting started, leading to his hospitalization.
Police Response and Investigation
The Seminole Police Department responded immediately to the scene, containing the situation quickly. In a statement to the Daily Mail, they confirmed that the incident resulted in non-life-threatening injuries, with the victim transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. Two individuals have been detained, and the investigation is ongoing, with no threat to the public.
A representative for Offset confirmed the shooting, stating that he is 'stable and being closely monitored' in hospital, though the extent of his injuries remains unclear. Video footage circulating on social media showed police officers near the valet stand attempting to restrain two men, with one held on the ground and others struggling with officers.
Background and Career of Offset
Offset is best known as a member of the chart-topping rap trio Migos, which includes Quavo and the late Takeoff. This attack comes more than three years after Takeoff was shot and killed outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, in November 2022. Following Takeoff's death, Offset and Quavo disbanded the group to focus on solo careers.
Offset has released several albums, including his debut solo album Father of 4 in 2019 and Set It Off in October 2023, which debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 chart. His most recent album, Kiari, was released in August 2025 and peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200.
Personal Life and Relationships
Offset was previously in a high-profile on-off relationship with rapper Cardi B, with whom he has three children: daughters Kulture, aged seven, and one-year-old Blossom, and a four-year-old son named Wave. They began dating in 2017 and married secretly that year, but have since split multiple times, with Cardi filing for divorce in July 2024. Offset also has three older children from previous relationships.
The Daily Mail has contacted Offset's representative and the Hollywood, Florida, Police Department for further comment as the investigation continues.
