Offset in Stable Condition After Being Shot Outside Florida Casino
Rapper Offset is in stable condition after being shot Monday evening outside a Florida casino, according to his representative.
The incident occurred near the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, around 7 p.m., authorities said. Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is “stable and being closely monitored,” his spokesperson confirmed.
Police responded quickly to the scene and detained two individuals in connection with the incident. Officials say the situation was contained and that there is no ongoing threat to the public, with casino operations continuing as normal.
Details about what led to the shooting, including a possible motive or whether Offset was the intended target, have not yet been released as the investigation remains ongoing.
Offset rose to prominence as a member of the hip-hop trio Migos and has since built a successful solo career. The shooting comes years after the 2022 death of his groupmate Takeoff, who was killed in a separate incident.
Fans and fellow artists have taken to social media expressing concern and support, as the music star recovers.
This is a developing story.
