Rapper Offset, a former member of the hip-hop trio Migos, is in stable condition after being shot outside a Florida casino on Monday. The incident occurred in the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock hotel and casino in Hollywood, Florida, according to his spokesperson.
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was taken to hospital and is being closely monitored. Police stated that the shooting followed a fight, and two people have been detained in connection with the investigation. The Seminole police department confirmed that the site is secure and there is no threat to the public.
Rapper Lil Tjay, whose legal name is Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested for disorderly conduct and driving without a valid licence in relation to the altercation that preceded the shooting, but not for the shooting itself. He has not yet commented publicly.
Offset was previously married to rapper Cardi B, with whom he has three children. Cardi B announced she filed for divorce in 2024. The shooting comes nearly two years after the death of Migos member Takeoff, who was shot outside a Houston bowling alley in 2022.
