Rapper Offset was hospitalized after sustaining injuries in a shooting outside a Florida casino on Monday evening. The incident took place shortly after 7 p.m. in the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.
Authorities, who were already in the vicinity, responded promptly, securing the scene and managing the situation swiftly. Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital where he is receiving medical care. His condition is stable, and he is under close observation, with no life-threatening injuries reported.
Law enforcement confirmed that two individuals have been taken into custody in connection with the shooting. However, details regarding the motive or circumstances leading up to the incident have not yet been disclosed. The investigation is ongoing.
Officials reassured the public that there is no ongoing threat, and casino operations have continued without interruption. Social media videos circulating show some of the aftermath, including one person being escorted by police while limping and another lying on the ground surrounded by officers, though authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of these clips.
The shooting has caused concern among fans, especially following the tragic death of Offset’s Migos bandmate, Takeoff, who was fatally shot in 2022. As the inquiry progresses, further information about the incident is expected to be released. For now, sources indicate that Offset is expected to make a full recovery.
