HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The rapper Offset, a former member of the influential hip-hop trio Migos, was shot Monday outside a Florida casino and is in stable condition, according to a spokesperson.<\/p>\n
Offset, who was once married to Cardi B, was being treated at a hospital, the spokesperson said in a statement, although his exact condition was unknown.<\/p>\n
More than three years ago, Offset\u2019s cousin Takeoff, another member of Migos, was shot and killed at a Houston bowling alley.<\/p>\n
The Seminole Police Department in Florida said one person sustained injuries that were not life-threatening Monday night at a valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. The police department did not identify the victim.<\/p>\n
Two people were detained by police and officials were investigating, according to a statement from the department.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe site is secure and there is no threat to the public,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
Offset, whose off-stage name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, formed one-third of the Grammy Award-nominated Migos.<\/p>\n
The trio, with its rapid-fire triplet flow, became known as one of the most popular hip-hop groups of all time. It broke out with the 2013 hit \u201cVersace\u201d and later earned Grammy nominations for best rap album with 2018\u2019s \u201cCulture,\u201d while a track off it nabbed a nod for best rap performance.<\/p>\n
Offset and Cardi B were secretly wed in September 2017 in Atlanta. In 2024, Cardi B announced that she filed for divorce. They have three children together.<\/p>\n
The third member of Migos, rapper Quavo, sought to transform his nephew Takeoff\u2019s tragic shooting into a force for change, holding a summit against gun violence in 2024.<\/p>\n
Police said Takeoff was an innocent bystander when he was shot outside a Houston bowling alley after a disagreement over a dice game. Takeoff\u2019s death was among a string of fatal shootings in recent years that involved hip-hop stars such as Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, PnB Rock and Young Dolph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOLLYWOOD, Fla.
