American rapper Offset is in a stable condition in the hospital after he was shot outside a Florida casino on Monday.
According to The Guardian, Offset’s spokesperson confirmed to media that the former member of the Atlanta hip-hop trio Migos, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was shot in a valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock hotel and casino.
Associated Press noted that the Seminole Police Department said a person sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
Although the police department did not identify the victim and details of the lead-up to the shooting weren’t immediately available, it noted that two people detained by police and officials are investigating the incident.
“The site is secure, and there is no threat to the public,” a police statement was quoted as saying. “Operations continue as normal.”
Offset’s fellow Migos member Takeoff died aged 28 in 2022 after he was shot outside a Houston bowling alley where he and his uncle, fellow Migos member Quavo, were playing dice, The Guardian added.
Offset was formerly married to Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, with whom he has three children.
The pair who married secretly in September 2017 saw their relationship end in 2024, when Cardi B announced she had filed for divorce.
