Former Migos member Offset is currently recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot on Monday evening. Authorities have confirmed that the rapper is in stable condition, and two individuals have been detained in connection with the incident.
Chaos at the Hard Rock Hotel
The shooting occurred just after 7:00 pm in the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as local law enforcement moved quickly to contain the area and provide medical assistance.
In an official statement, the police confirmed the location and timing:
“We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 pm Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital.”
“Stable and Closely Monitored”
A spokesperson for Offset corroborated the police report, clarifying that while the rapper did sustain a gunshot wound, he is expected to recover.
“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored,” the representative stated. While the rapper is out of immediate danger, specific details regarding the motive or the events leading up to the gunfire remain scarce as the investigation continues.
A Turbulent Few Years
This incident follows a string of high-profile tragedies and changes for the artist. In 2022, the hip-hop world was rocked by the fatal shooting of Offset’s fellow Migos member, Takeoff, in Houston. Following the tragedy, the group officially disbanded in 2023, with Offset focusing on his career as a solo performer.
On the personal front, Offset’s high-profile marriage to Cardi B came to an end in 2024 after seven years together. The former couple shares three children. Cardi B has since moved on and is currently dating NFL star Stefon Diggs, with whom she recently welcomed a son.
Police have assured the public that the site of the shooting was secured in record time, and they are continuing to question the two suspects currently in custody.
