Offset was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Monday evening and is currently listed as stable, a spokesperson for the rapper told The Times. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cHe is stable and being closely monitored.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Seminole Police Department said in a statement that officers responded to an incident in the valet area of the hotel and casino shortly after 7 p.m. One person was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Police detained two people in connection with the incident, and an investigation remains ongoing. The scene has been secured and operations at the Hard Rock are continuing as normal, police said. <\/p>\n
The circumstances around the shooting remain unclear. <\/p>\n
The 34-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, gained prominence as a member of the Atlanta rap trio Migos, which was founded in 2008 and rose to hip-hop fame in 2013 with the breakout hit \u201cVersace.\u201d The group, whose members included rappers Quavo, Takeoff and Offset, achieved major mainstream stardom in 2016 through \u201cBad and Boujee,\u201d which shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. <\/p>\n
The three members grew up together in the Atlanta area. Takeoff was Quavo\u2019s nephew, while Offset is a close family friend. <\/p>\n
In 2022, the group split up due to differences between Offset and Quavo. In November of that year, Takeoff, whose real name is Kirsnick Khari Ball, was fatally shot<\/a> outside of a bowling alley in Houston. He was 28 years old.<\/p>\n Patrick Xavier Clark was indicted by a grand jury in the murder of Takeoff in May 2023. He has pleaded not guilty and the case is awaiting trial.<\/p>\n Offset shares three children with hip-hop legend Cardi B, whom he married in 2017. The pair split publicly in late 2023<\/a>, and Cardi B filed for divorce<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n Since the breakup of Migos, Offset has focused on his solo career, releasing his album \u201cSet It Off\u201d in 2023, which features artists including Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Future and Cardi B. He released his latest album, \u201cKiari,\u201d in August. <\/p>\n Times staff writer Emily St. Martin contributed to this report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Offset was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Monday evening and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[113035,2847,553,1743,4456,349,48,52,51,47,50,49,113038,224,592,236,113036,113037,11758,3025,113039],"class_list":{"0":"post-255165","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-casino-valet","9":"tag-fame","10":"tag-florida","11":"tag-hollywood","12":"tag-incident","13":"tag-injury","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-la-headlines","16":"tag-la-news","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","19":"tag-los-angeles-news","20":"tag-memorial-regional-hospital","21":"tag-p-m","22":"tag-people","23":"tag-police","24":"tag-rapper-offset","25":"tag-seminole-hard-rock-hotel","26":"tag-spokesperson","27":"tag-statement","28":"tag-valet-area"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
