HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The rapper Offset<\/a>, a former member of the influential hip-hop trio Migos<\/a>, was shot outside a Florida casino and was in stable condition, a spokesperson said Tuesday. <\/p>\n Offset, who was once married to Cardi B<\/a>, was being treated at a hospital after Monday night\u2019s shooting, the spokesperson said in a statement, although his exact condition was unknown. Police said the injuries were not life-threatening. <\/p>\n More than three years ago, Offset\u2019s cousin Takeoff, another member of Migos, was shot and killed<\/a> at a Houston bowling alley.<\/p>\n Monday\u2019s shooting followed a fight at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, just north of Miami, police said. Officers detained two people. <\/p>\n A rapper known as Lil Tjay, Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested for the altercation that occurred before the shooting, the Seminole Police Department in Florida said. He was charged with disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license.<\/p>\n His lawyer, Dawn M. Florio, told The Associated Press that Lil Tjay did not have a gun and was not charged with any weapons or gun-related crimes.<\/p>\n She said he paid his bond and was released Tuesday afternoon. The 24-year-old rapper is a stalwart of New York\u2019s South Bronx scene, celebrated for his sing-rapping and pop-hip-hop style delivered atop drill beats.<\/p>\n Walking out of the Broward County jail, Lil Tjay told reporters that he was not involved in any fighting. <\/p>\n While police said one person was injured at a valet area outside the casino, they did not identify the victim.<\/p>\n The second person detained at the scene has not been charged and investigators were working to identify others involved, police said in a statement Tuesday. <\/p>\n Offset,<\/a> born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, first made a name for himself with Migos. The Atlanta trio is one of the most popular hip-hop groups of all time, celebrated for their rapid-fire triplet flow, an often imitated delivery that changed the trajectory of trap. <\/p>\n Their career kicked off with the 2013 hit \u201cVersace.\u201d They then had several multiplatinum selling singles, including \u201cBad and Boujee,\u201d which went No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, \u201cStir Fry,\u201d \u201cNarcos,\u201d and \u201cT-Shirt.\u201d Migos released four full-length albums across their career, closing that chapter after the killing of Takeoff.<\/p>\n Offset and Cardi B were secretly wed in September 2017 in Atlanta. In 2024, Cardi B announced that she filed for divorce<\/a>. They have three children together.<\/p>\n The third member of Migos, rapper Quavo,<\/a> sought to transform his nephew Takeoff\u2019s tragic shooting into a force for change, holding a summit against gun violence<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n Police said Takeoff was an innocent bystander<\/a> 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<\/a>, Pop Smoke<\/a>, PnB Rock<\/a> and Young Dolph.<\/a><\/p>\n Offset embarked on a solo career years before Takeoff\u2019s death. <\/p>\n As a solo artist, Offset is known for an idiosyncratic style \u2014 a melodic, aggressive finesse. He released three full-length albums: 2019\u2019s \u201cFather of Four\u201d; 2023\u2019s \u201cSet It Off,\u201d which he described to The Associated Press<\/a> as an effort to \u201cbring rap back\u201d in a genre currently led by rappers who sing; and 2025\u2019s \u201cKiari.\u201d<\/p>\n
