Former Migos member Offset was reportedly shot while in Florida on Monday.

The 34-year-old rapper — and ex of Cardi B — was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, TMZ reported.

A representative for Offset (real name: Kiari Kendrell Cephus) confirmed that he had been hit to the publication.

However, they offered some good news and reportedly said that he was ‘fine’ after the altercation.

The extent of his injuries is still unclear, but they said he ‘is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.’

‘He is stable and being closely monitored,’ Offset’s representative added.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, the Seminole Police Department said, ‘We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

‘Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly,’ they continued. ‘Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.’

The Daily Mail has reached out for comment to Offset’s representative, as well as the Seminole Police Department and the Hollywood, Florida, Police Department.

Video circulating on social media allegedly taken at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino after the shooting showed police officers near the valet stand as they attempted to restrain two men.

One was seen being held on the ground by police, while two officers attempted to push back another standing man who was struggling with them.

The chilling attack comes more than three years after Offset’s fellow Migos member Takeoff was shot and killed outside of a bowling alley in Houston, Texas. He was 28.

A 23-year-old man named Patrick Xavier Clark was later arrested and charged with shooting Takeoff (real name: Kirsnick Khari Ball).

Clark, who is free on a $1 million bond, has denied firing the shots that killed Takeoff, but prosecutors have claimed that surveillance footage shows him firing a gun at a crowd of people. 

The extent of his injuries is still unclear, but they said he 'is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.' 'He is stable and being closely monitored,' Offset's representative added; pictured in November 2024 in LA

His trial has been delayed for several years, but he is now set to go before a jury in November. 

Offset is best known for his work with the chart-topping rap trio Migos, which also includes fellow rapper Quavo, 35, who was Takeoff’s uncle and a friend of Offset.

However, Takeoff’s death led the surviving members to disband the group and focus on their solo careers. 

He was previously in a high-profile on–off relationship with the rapper Cardi B, 33.

The couple shares three children: daughters Kulture, seven; and Blossom, 17 months; as well as their four-year-old son Wave.

Offset and Cardi B (real name: Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) began dating in 2017 and tied the knot later that year, though their secret marriage was reported on until a year later when their marriage license was discovered by TMZ.

The couple split for the first time in December 2018, just five months after they welcomed Kulture, though they reunited just months later. 

In September 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, only to reunite with Offset just a month later.

Their son Wave was born in September 2021, and Cardi shared the following year that she was looking forward to marrying Offset. 

However, she revealed in late 2023 that they had split again, seemingly for good, and she filed for divorce in July 2024 before announcing her third pregnancy the following day.

Offset also has three older children from previous relationships: sons Jordan Cephus, 16; Kody Cephus, 11; and daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, 11.
