Atlanta rapper Offset is hospitalized after being shot in South Florida, according to his representative and authorities.
The shooting happened Monday evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, just outside Miami, police in Seminole, Florida, said in a statement to CBS News.
His representative told CBS News late Monday that Offset “was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored.”
Seminole police said the shooting happened after 7 p.m. at a valet area outside the hotel and casino and “resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.”
Two people were detained by police and an investigation was ongoing, they said. The site was secure and there was no threat to the public, and operations continued as normal, they added.
It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the shooting. It’s also unclear whether surveillance footage from the heavily trafficked casino area could play a role in the investigation.
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, rose to fame as a member of the Grammy-nominated hip-hop group Migos, which originated in metro Atlanta.
His connection to the city — and continued influence on its music scene — is prompting concern among fans and artists across Georgia.
The incident also underscores how ties to Atlanta’s music industry continue to intersect with South Florida, a frequent destination for performances, events and nightlife.
The rapper is in divorce proceedings from Cardi B. They have three children.
They were secretly married in September 2017 in Atlanta. Cardi B announced that she had filed for divorce in 2024.
Offset’s cousin Takeoff — another member of Migos — was shot and killed in 2022.
