Cardi B’s ex, and former Migos rapper, Offset was shot near a casino in Florida on Monday evening, authorities have confirmed. According to the rapper’s representatives, he was shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, after 7 p.m.

Born Kiari Kendrell Cephus and popularly known as Offset, he is now “fine” and in a “stable” condition. According to The Daily Mail, he was taken to a nearby hospital after the incident. According to his representative, he is at the hospital receiving medical care. “He is stable and being closely monitored,” the representative said.

Police said the injuries were not life-threatening. In a statement, the Seminole Police Department said officers arrived at the scene promptly. “The situation was contained quickly,” the statement read. It further read, “Two individuals have been detained by police, and the investigation is currently going on. The site is secure, and there is no threat to the public. Operation continues as normal.”

The motive behind the shooting remains unclear. Authorities have not released details about what may have led to the incident. However, video circulating on social media showed a tense scene near the valet area. Officers were seen holding one man on the ground while trying to restrain another who appeared to be resisting. The footage has not been independently verified, but it matched the location described by police.

The shooting comes more than three years after the death of Takeoff, another member of Offset’s rap group, Migos. Takeoff was shot and killed outside a bowling alley in Houston in 2022, when he was 28. Patrick Xavier Clark was charged in that case. However, he has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is expected to begin in November.

The group also included Quavo and Takeoff; Migos split after the latter’s death. Quavo and Offset focused on their solo work after 2022.

Offset has released numerous standalone projects, with his album “Father of 4” released in 2019. His other work includes the album “Set It Off” released in 2023 and “Kiari” released in 2025.
