Hollywood, Florida — Rapper Offset was shot on Monday evening in an incident outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, his representative and local police confirmed.

Offset — a founding member of the influential rap trio Migos — has a storied career with multiple chart‑topping hits. The group rose to fame in the 2010s with songs like “Bad and Boujee” and helped popularize the Atlanta rap sound worldwide.
In a dramatic twist of fate, this incident follows the tragic 2022 shooting death of Offset’s Migos bandmate Takeoff in Houston — a loss that profoundly impacted the rapper’s life and career.
Details about the motive behind Monday’s shooting have not been released, and police have not publicly identified suspects or clarified what led to the altercation. Offset’s team has not provided further updates on his condition beyond confirming he is stable and being monitored by medical professionals.
